Me and my family really wanted to watch it in theaters but they only hsd it in hungarian in hungary(even tho they usually have it with english audio in some cities) so i decided to just sail the high seas. I got a rip somehow that wasnt camera recorded tho pretty sure the audio was.
…yeah the share it with others were you have to be completely quiet and not interact at all.
Ill wait for it to get to one of my streamers.
I’ll wait for the 4K UHD disk. Let me watch it without distractions of a-holes with crinkly wrappers.
Saw it in IMAX, felt worth it. Loved the book, loved the movie, super disappointed in the author. Might not of done either of the first two things if I knew he was going on “anti-woke” podcasts bragging how he doesn’t write politics.
Ya know, the one about averting catastrophic climate change.

One of the things I do worry about sometimes among progressives in the United States…is a certain kind of rigidity where we say, “I’m sorry, this is how it’s going to be,” and then we start sometimes creating what’s called a circular firing squad, where you start shooting at your allies because one of them is straying from purity on the issues, and when that happens, typically the overall effort and movement weakens.

So. An examination of Andy Weir’s works indicate he’s got a head full of progressive ideas. His two biggest works have major themes of setting aside differences to cooperate to solve massive problems using evidence-based science. He writes female characters in positions of authority, in the case of Eva Stratt, he wrote the most powerful person on Earth as a woman. When writing Artemis, he gave drafts to women in his life to read for input on his portrayal of Jazz.
“I never put any politics or messaging in my stories; there’s no deeper meaning, there isn’t even any symbolism.”
Make ready. Take aim. Open fire.
wait really? i hadn’t heard heard about this
Jesse Gender has the best take on it, because there is a bit of nuance since Weir did apologize for some of it, but only for the parts that might affect his ability to write TV or movies. Not for apparently being friends with Critical Drinker, inviting him to premiere, talking up his book and going through anti-woke talking points with him.
Oof, that’s not great. The critical drinker is such a loser shit-heel.
yeah the only thing i’ve found is soundbites and others adding “woke” to what he said, and him apologising for those things. i don’t know what the podcast is but if that’s the only thing people seem to be talking about it doesn’t seem like the other stuff can be worse, right?
i’ll watch jessie’s video, i usually like her stuff even if we disagree on a lot of things.
4+ hr director’s cut: gimmie
I’d definitely watch that.
Even tho its a long movie, it did feel short and fast after reading the book lol
I want to see the courtroom showdown scene between Stratt and the copyright holders.
I was so sad this wasn’t there. It was such a badass scene in the book. It was effectively just STRATT pulling the Ron Swanson “I can do what I want” and winning.
it was a nice and quiet watch in the theater. nobody said a word for the entire thing and afterwards everyone left silently. that’s how you know it’s good.
Fucking mouth breathers in front of me who confessed they had not read the book. Dont read books. Were annoying all through the movie. I wish had more of the science. Fucking movie was made for none science types. Lots of great scenes in the book could of been in the movie over the stuff they made the fuck up not in the book.
i’ve read the martian, so i know how weir writes. that, combined with watching the movie, makes me want to read the book.
Not even a single laugh?
no, it’s impolite to make noise at the cinema. the only time it happens is when people don’t care about the movie.
See also: funerals, corporate “town hall” meetings, and court cases.
(I’ve not seen it, I’ve only read Weir’s book, so I’m not seriously casting any judgement, I’m just amusing myself – but I was a little dismayed by the huge spoilers in the trailers.)
no, that’s just how cinemas work everywhere but the us.
It’s already in my Plex library.
I’d rather wait than watch a telesync cam rip.
I’m not sure what Confused_Emus may be referring to, but I can tell you that there is a better version than a telesync cam rip already available. Otherwise, I completely agree with you.
Ah I see that now. My private tracker didn’t have it because the occasional hardcoded Russian subs.
Correct. There are English subs, but occasionally you’ll also see Russian. I typically use Usenet these days, and I occasionally search through qBit, but nothing was showing up and I’m not sure why. But, it is available on a popular DLing website.
Ikr…already seen in the comfort of home.
Me too. Enjoyed it a lot.
Since it’ll still be in theaters, going to find time to go see it. Worth it.
PM me link pls
I unfortunately don’t have any links available. The movie was automatically pulled and downloaded through my Radarr setup, and I’m pretty sure it sourced it from my Usenet provider. If it’s any consolation, I’m pretty sure most of the rips at this point are going to be telesyncs, anyway. Hard to tell with the copy I have, but the colors seem a bit dim, so I’m pretty sure it was captured off of a screen.
There is a better version than a telesync available. Unfortunately, I was not able to find it on usenet (my first option these days), but another popular, well-known site has it for dl.
I’m happy to wait. I read the book, I know what happens. Also, I don’t have any “others” to share it with.
(I don’t care how good the telesync version is supposed to be.)
Having read the book will help you enjoy the movie. The plot closely follows the book, but it doesn’t have time to fully explain why they’re doing what they’re doing. The book is mostly the main character’s internal monologue describing his process and reasoning while troubleshooting one problem after another. The movie just shows him doing all that stuff with no explanation.
Anyone else feel like the book moved at kind of a breakneck pace compared to The Martian?
Like, The Martian went through this whole thing about using ASCII instead of the alphabet with the speak and spell…to communicate with people Watney knew personally. Meanwhile Grace and Rocky just…learn each other’s languages. “I wrote a program in about 6 hours.”
There’s a ripoff on Netflix with a title that’s super close, and 1 star
