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

    it was like the dark chocolate of sci fi - not a lot going on besides tech and science but the tech and science was super good.

    Did you read Project Hail Mary?

    I really liked the Martian, and I LOVE PHM. not that its the same kind of dark chocolate, its got a bunch of sweetness in there too but its tons of fun
