The Martian

Just watched his after recording it off one of the movie channels. Holy shit, was this good. Talk about taking "hard" sci-fi and making it approachable.

The book is better!

[Furiously]

It's hard to beat Shawshank for a movie adaption, but this is definitely a top five for well done adaptions. BTW - the book is better.

Book was fun. Movie was not fun. Fail in my book.

You're crazy or you just have a huge hate-boner for Matt Damon. This movie was loads of fun.

This. I was constantly laughing at some of the one-liners even when I knew they were coming.

There were some good one liner, but this should have never been considered a comedy at the Oscars and Golden Globes.

And what the Oscars think is relevant because? Oh wait, it isn't.

Funny, we watched it shortly before the golden globe nominations and all four of us (that watched it) thought it was more a comedy than anything else. In fact, we were shocked that it was funnier than it was dramatic and had absolutely NO idea that it would be that way going into it.

I think its crime was being mildly intelligent as well as being a comedy because there's just no place in American culture for those sort of shenanigans these days. You're either dumb as a fucking stump or a complete snob. There's no middle ground anymore.
