Regardless if you like the story line or not the movie is rewatchable just for the incredible cinematography and score.

The economics of the movie theater no longer work for casual movie going. I remember in the 80's-90's our friend group would randomly decide to go see a movie on a random day look at the paper to see what was playing and at what time and randomly go see something. Going to a movie was cheap enough we would throw $4-5 at a movie we knew nothing about. Casual movie going has been replaced with streaming. Mid to low budget movies that used to show up at the theater are now showing up on streaming. All these giant 13-14 movie complexes are now outdated when the modern theater really needs to be 1-2 IMAX quality screens and maybe 3-4 good quality regular sized theaters.

I went to bed when we were up by 12 with less than a minute left. I guess I missed some butt puckering frustrating end of game play our guys are known for :lol:

It wasn't a "few things". It was a shitload.
Again, I enjoyed the movie experience a lot. Just disappointed in some big things not even being mentioned or barely mentioned.
Movie didn't feel long to me, despite the runtime.
The Audiobook was ~16 hours long. The film is 2.5 hours long. Of course a lot of material is going to be cut. The question is what's the least you can have in the movie and make it a faithful interpretation of the book. I think they did a pretty good job for the most part.
Posted in the thread. :cheers:
Book reader took my wife and 17yo son to see it and they had zero clue about the movie neither having even seen a trailer. Wife was super pissed for a moment thinking Rocky had died :lol: If he stayed dead we probably would be divorced today.
Both the wife and son really loved it.
I understand and accept most all of the changes they had to make to fit it into a 2.5 hour movie. I do think it would have worked better and not really taken much more time if they had followed the book a little more and had Grace put rocky back into his environment after Rocky saves him

Probably a dumb question but did the two astronauts kill themselves or die of some other cause?
Somewhere on the internets I recall reading a quip where Any Weir mentioned the reason those two died is the seeds for an idea for a sequel to PHM but the whole idea is really far from being able to be made into a book. Did I dream that up or does anyone have a reference?

It's the new DOCH variety not the tried and proven VTEC model. Might be OK but not enough long term data on this version yet. Cam phaser, hydraulic lifter, and VCM issues don't tend to show up until you get closer to 6 digits on the Odometer.

WTF are yall bitching about race and gender. Looks like a dumb and stupid but entertaining mindlessly violent and often humorous film with an incredibly FAF lead actress kicking Satan worshipers arse with some quirky Wes Anderson style wide flat symmetric shots. Sign me up. We need more films like this.

Normally wouldn't consider a Ford Turbo anything but the owner was a family friend and would be getting it at a steal. It's completely bone stock and obviously wasn't driven much considering the milage and year.

There seems to be a lot of Ford guys on here. I'm a Toyota guy so I don't know much about modern Turbo Fords. 2018 Ford Raptor with 3.5l Ecoboost Crew cab with "Equipment Group 802A" and twin panel moon roof. Outside of cam phasers anything else I should look at? Unfortunately the original owner passed away so I won't be able to get in depth history. Only 60k miles so I'm guessing the phasers haven't gone out yet. Is '18 a good year for the 3.5l and Ford in general?
Bambu would always be the 1st choice for someone not tech literate.
Elegoo Centauri Carbon will give him a much more capable printer for the price of the A1 mini and would be what I would suggest if you want to stick below $300.

Mythic Quest Season 1 Episode 5 "A Dark Quiet Death" is a singular stand alone episode of the series that is genuinely moving masterclass in story telling that everyone can and should watch even if you aren't into genre of video came comedy.
re: broken rib

I slept best sitting up. I don't recommend breaking your ribs during allergy season if you get sneazy during the allergy season. That's a special kind of hell and fear knowing you are about to sneeze 2-3 times and each time feels like getting stabbed with a rusty pitchfork.
There is a thread in the health fitness board with a lot of high protein recipes if that's your thing.

I thought The Martian did a really good job of portraying the book in movie form.
I'd agree one of the better movie adaptations of a book. Did they leave a bunch of the stuff from the book out that I enjoyed? Sure. But you have to expect that when you screen time is about 1/6ths of the length of your source.
My own personal anecdote. This is the first movie I've decided I needed to watch in the theaters since Oppenheimer. The last one before that was Thor Ragnarök. Before Ragnarök I'd see 6-10 movies a year in the theater.
re: Mazda CX-5...Any of you have experience owning a Mazda?

Mazda 2.5l is one of the most dependable and economical drivetrains you can buy. Decade and a half of optimization in design and manufacturing. Direct inected so they have a different sound a little louder and sewing machine like. After about 100k miles you will eventually need to get the intake calves walnut blasted for.caebon buildup.
