The Fassbender one!

The Force Awakens has now sold more tickets in the USA than The Empire Strikes Back, becoming the second most successful Star Wars film.

The Martian - well done, although a bit flat in my opinion. But this genre doesn't really do it for me. I found the NASA shenanigans far more interesting than the actual survival stuff.

Also Damon's character is annoyingly smart. Did Ide write about this film?

A while back.

Welcome back Ide.

We seem to agree then. The film works, but it's more akin to watching fine-attuned machinery in motion, than human emotion.

And welcome.

I check in from time to time to see if everybody's ok.

It's a rather good but not great film, to be sure, and not even really enough of an experience that I think I'll ever really have an urgent desire to watch it again.

P.S. Hateful Eight was also pretty good.  Likewise not remotely great, and to me a pretty big disappointment (it's Tarantino's worst film in a walk).  But that's 2015 for you, the Year of Constant Disappointment.

Good to see you Ide.


Just watched The Martian myself. Liked it.

PS, I will never go to Mars.

One of the movie channels was counterprogramming "The Godfather Saga."  Chronological version of GF 1 and 2, with 75 minutes of cut footage.

I just endured The Hateful 8.  Is there a director more taken with themselves and over indulgent than Tarantino now?  Damn. 2/7.5

Just watched it. I thought the movie was brilliantly made, but the characters were so despicable that I  have no desire to watch it again.

Season premiere of Billion.  Pissing contest between Paul Giamatti as the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and Lt. Ginger from Band of Brothers as local boy made good hedge fund manager.  Holding my interest so far.

Hence the title 

[spoiler]I liked Mannix myself, though. He's the only one that attempts to become a moral person despite his past.[/spoiler]
