Showed my roommates _The Martian_ tonight

[browngirl]

E adored it and everyone else liked it, so yay. :) Althout J missed most of th first half because the [SCARY SCENE FROM EARLY IN THE MOVIE] made him run off, and then he came back just in time for [TRAGIC SCENE FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVIE], keep. But at least he came back for most of the third act, climax, etc.

Poor E was crying with suspense during the entire climax. She has so much muchness inside her.

Also, I was reminded of a few bits of the movie I like better than the book, mostly [DEBATE]. The movie more evenhandedly presented it as a choice between equal options.

Hopefully soon I will resume fanfictionating now that I've refreshed my memories of my canon.

Are you still up to seeing it with me on Saturday? I have a tattoo appointment at 11, so I'll be back home around 2, I think. And no plans rest of the day.

As soon as that film is rentable, I'll be watching it eagerly. Shiremom and I both enjoyed the book very much.

I can rent it through Amazon Streaming.

Thanks! I'll wait until I can get it through Netflix (I have a $5.00/month 2-DVD plan with them that's what I can afford right now.)

My family (the hubby and two boys) loved this movie. And the husband overcame his loathing of Matt Damon to like it anyway.

I've seen it three times now and am looking forward to more views… I see something new each time.

I loved the book too.
