Jacob Tremblay? The kid from ROOM? Good grief. Time marches on, don't it?
Speaking of which, while the heat death of the universe is of course a (long!) process, not a point in time, my understanding is that star formation, allowing the possibility of planets with life, is expected to continue for at least a trillion years, which would put us in the first few days of January on a linear scale.
While I always appreciate how careful you are about spoilers, the hints about Act 2 are enough to make me feel I know roughly what to expect - though there could be a lot more to it than you've hinted at. In any case, this is definitely enticing enough to make me want to see the film, which apparently opens in my area next week. A good reminder to take advantage of movie theaters as long as we have them!
b) Yes, on a linear time scale, you are correct. So what if we use a logarithmically scaled calendar instead? :-) (I’m over my head here, I’m well aware.)
c) I shouldn’t have mentioned Taylor‘s background or what she does, should I? Ah well. It’s the hero image at the top of half the reviews out there. Anyway, I enjoyed the film, but, given our shared background, you may be interested to know that, coming out of the theater, I thought, “Walter Chaw will be going SCORCHED EARTH on this.” My line “If you decide that you hate it, I understand” was pretty much addressed directly to him. And he does not disappoint!
