    Andy Weir's, The Martian.

    I'm not sure if you're aware of this internet-based author,
    who after many monthly posts, completed his book, The Martian.

    after a web fan asked him to post a book version to amazon.com,
    it swept into popularity, to be picked-up by a book publisher.

    quickly and soon after, it was green-lighted to be produced as a well budgeted movie,
    directed by ridley scott.

    can you imagine what is rolling around in andy's head, as he works on his next-to-be-published book?

    here's the first official trailer for that movie, The Martian.

    Looking forward to it, might have to go myself to see it though.
    Last one my husband and I went to see was Interstellar, he said he could not understand it!

    So I don't think I will be able to drag him back. Specially with a title "The Martian".

    I read it. it's a no-brainer, if you know what I mean.
    no heavy interpretive stuff, just survival. bet he'll thank you after dragging him out-of-the-house..
    besides, it's ridley scott for cripes sake!

    just watched the ridley scott film rendition of the Andy Weir book, The Martian.

    I'd rate it: billion and billions of stars.

    if you're looking for something low-impact to do,
    go see it. you'll enjoy yourself. (especially if you like disco)
