I rewatched The Martian and totally forgot how optimistic this movie is about technology, America, and international relations sadness-abysmal

when this movie came out in 2015 my little liberal ass loved it. i still believed in a future.

we dont even have bazinga mars nerds anymore just different flavors of “i wont eat the bugs” all clawing at each other to climb out of a pit rapidly filling with water

xi i will scrub toilets please give me a K visa agony-soviet

    I hate the way he writes. Characters are all interchangeable and quirky because he says so. The science is tacked on like a chemistry teacher putting their kids to bed.

    SciFi: Read Larry Niven and James Blish if you like feats of engineering, read Ann Leckie and Nancy Kress if you like characters defined by their actions.

    Don’t tell me to be excited Andy just because you wrote “THAT’S SOO COOL!” after revealing some tidbit. I’m not a fucking child.
