At least if you want introspective and thoughtful. Most people don't want things that will make them think, though, and, from what I can tell, The Martian isn't threatening to make anyone think.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-66398453423285645152015-10-20T19:46:20.316-07:002015-10-20T19:46:20.316-07:00So have you weighed in yet on Episode VIIs trailer...So have you weighed in yet on Episode VIIs trailer? Albert Burneko has an interesting article about whether the new Star Wars will be good.<br /><br />Also not a comment on this post: I read your review of "The Martian," but not only does the book not appeal to me all that much (XKCD described it as a book/movie for people who wish that part of Apollo 13 where they dumped the stuff on the table and tried to figure out how to fix the spaceship with it was the whole movie) but I'm jealous of the author for getting HIS book about a lost astronaut to be a big deal. Not my best trait, I guess, but I have decided to single him out.<br /><br />Anyway: this post: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," until he is my enemy because our mutual enemy is gone. That's kind of the history of much of the world, isn't it? Americans and the French were pals until 1812, for example.<br /><br />The book sounds good, though.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-57069304887903531172015-10-20T16:53:05.793-07:002015-10-20T16:53:05.793-07:00As I wrote in last week's post, I had always a...As I wrote in last week's post, I had always assumed that Mace Windu was created as an excuse to cast Samuel L. Jackson - an understandable motivation, mind you. I agree that he's not developed especially well in the movies.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-13191478635990608442015-10-20T09:58:19.640-07:002015-10-20T09:58:19.640-07:00TAS: I though it was good.TAS: I though it was good.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-35067734454992911492015-10-20T09:25:09.623-07:002015-10-20T09:25:09.623-07:00I remember that book.
