Will you be watching this one?

The series it's based on has a good story. Should be a good watch.

Enjoyed the book then enjoyed the audio book...

I went in with astronomical expectations, so it's taken me a few days to relax and absorb the movie. After the semester of physics that Weir fit into that novel, the film felt insanely rushed to me. I kept thinking, "You're glossing over the best parts!" It ended up being an amazingly entertaining and beautifully shot CliffsNotes.

I was particularly let down by the Beetles being just a quick mention during the build up to the launch, until... they saved the reveal of the Beetle's names with that amazing shot of them being deployed to the sound of Two of Us. I have to admit, that was a stroke of genius that gave a resonance that the book and audio book couldn't achieve. I didn't think the film could surprise me but it did, with this.

We saw it in Dolby and will go back to see it in Imax. (AMC Oneal's Dolby theater isn't what it use to be. There's a loud hiss of the HVAC system in the theater that is incredibly distracting during quiet scenes.)

What the frick are you talking about? You’re just going to make up random shite and try to paint me with it?

Be a man and actually read what I post before bowing up to me. Better yet, frick off you malignant c*nt.

I stand by Watchmen being a great film.

legit starting a riot and arresting nurses in the ER that was ridiculous and completely unrealistic.

---

No riot. They arrested one person that got in their way (which they have done in reality). No blowing of whistles, no one trying to block their exit. They just called the lawyers and went back to work.

so your data actually supports the conclusion that the depiction in the show was absurdly over the top.

---

You're assuming that the people that ran out based their decision on the number of DACA deportees and not the saturation of news reports about people being detained, shipped out of state for questioning, and deported. Unbelievable that you folks are pretending to be unaware of immigrants running in droves when ICE approaches. All of this discussion, and you're standing by the assumption that immigrants do not fear ICE.

I don’t get the desire to bury movies so badly.

Because it's easier to feel better about yourself through the failure of others than to get off your arse and do something with your life.

Gosh. So she's probably the last of the main characters from the 1st 2 movies, besides Jimmy Olsen, to still be living?

These two pricks are still terrorizing the Planet Houston. :usa:

I have dealt with nearly every governmental agency in the hospital, specifically the ER, from police to SWAT to FBI to ATF to ICE and, in the real world, none of this happens.

Immigrants aren't running from ICE in the real world? Again, my post was in reference to his statement of how fleeing illegal immigrant patients helped the hospital. In the program they stated that legal staff ran as well. I'm not talking about anyone's real life experience. I'm referencing what was actually stated in the show that we are discussing.
