Joe Swanberg and Jake Johnson lovingly call him the most boring man in Hollywood.

Anyone who's interested in animation (I'm talking to you, Burt) - or, hell, anyone who's interested in unique cinema - needs to check out The Adventures of Prince Achmed. It's a silent, German film from 1926, and it's the oldest surviving animated feature. It's also fucking stunning; it's a shadow play, made entirely using black cut-outs against colorful backgrounds. It transports you to another world. I loved it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I saw it on TCM, but it's available on DVD. Also on YouTube, though I'm not sure if the version that's posted has English subtitles.

So refreshing to see a movie that is both intense and positive -- it's about problem solving, ingenuity, and teamwork -- no more, no less. Damon is great, Ridley Scott is at the top of his game. It's very faithful to the book -- all the Damon/Mars stuff is basically verbatim, and all the Earth/NASA stuff was executed better on film.

Kristin Wiig is such a one-note actress, and I just don't like Donald Glover, but those are the only negative comments I could come up with.

Wish there were more mainstream movies like it.

Man, it was a letdown for me. I didnt bought damon's character not once; and the dialog seemed to be fill with one liners all the time. Every actor seemed to be doing a role from another space movie we all saw.

And yes, wiig and glover were awful.

To be fair to Matt Damon and Ridley Scott, that was the exact tone of the book. I understand if it wasn't your thing, but it was very faithful to the text -- Whatney even says "I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this" in the book.
that is not an excuse
