Thanks for commenting on the plot details of a movie you clearly have not seen. The wind was the issue, as if it pushed the rocket over 13 degrees it would not be able to take off.

While technically correct, it was more so that it would fall over.

Nester · Oct 9, 2015

Well....falling over is only a problem if you want it to take off. That was its only use.

Saw it last night, and while I expected them to summarize/montage a lot, I just didn't get nearly the impact the book had on me. The details are so critical to my enjoyment of the story. This zip-through version didn't resonate with me.

I will say some of the extreme time lapses are jarring to viewer's perception of the narrative in retrospect.

I think if I watch it again I'll be a little more aware of how casually the movie dismisses six months.

Not to be a cisgendger misogynistic shitlord, but notice how the vast majority of those asking are female?

I wish one of my friends had said this. I would have mocked him endlessly.

God, we really HAVE fallen under the tyranny of babysitters.

HBO Should do a series the follows the events of the in real time with News Interviews and the whole bit. Like when War of the Worlds came on the radio and everyone believe it they should put this on TV like that.

Is this a history of Matt Damon before he tried to kill Mconnohey in Interstellar ?

iannis · Oct 14, 2015

It is kind of tragic when you think about.

The great hero Mark Watney, picked to go on a long solo mission due to his experience. It would be one thing to go through that once, but twice? It is no wonder he ended up cracking.

So has anyone played this sim/builder game Planetbase?

It was originally envisioned as a survival/Anno-type sim on other planets. So Banished meets Anno meets The Martian.

It was going very well under in its beta but the dev apparently decided to jump on the chance to milk The Martian buzz hah:

The reviews I've read are fairly promising and it's cheap but Banished+Anno on Mars is pretty inviting, was curious if it delivers.

I got like 200 hours on Banished.

When I was a kid there was quite a few retards in the late 80s and early 90s (and probably adults too) who thought Star Wars was real. Not the Lucas shit, but the Reagan stuff. They swore we were fighting Russia in space and this argument continued until my late teens sadly.

Looks like a modern version of Outpost.

I spent about 4 hours watching a "Lets Play" on PlanetBase. I'm sure it's more exciting to play, but, it's very boring to watch. Lol.

So boring you watched it for 4 hours? lol
