In playable location news today, The Martian trailer is out. (Off-Topic)
I don't know if this has been out for a while but it was news to me, so...deal with it.
Can't wait to see it. Loved the novel.

Wrote this this morning. ;)
Doesn't seem to be very faithful to the original...

In playable location news today, The Martian trailer is out.
It does look pretty good, but I really wish they had shown a little more dialogue in that trailer. I know how it ends, who the bad guy is, and how they are going to tug my heart's strings, but I'm not certain where the comedy relief is going to come in (the SNL actor is just too obvious).
Add [spoiler] to this trailer

No room for SP in my original title.
At this point though, if you don't want the movie ruined, you should probably know not to watch any trailers. Thanks Hollywood.

I so rarely go to the movies (have toddler) that I'd forgotten how bad they could be. Is this one not epicly bad and just normal these days?
It's horrible bro.

This one is tame. It's out of hand at this point.

Wait... who's the bad guy?
Exactly. *slight spoilers*

The book had no bad guy. It was just told in audio logs of the guy trying to survive on Mars. The crew tried to help, NASA tried to help, the world tried to help. Zero bad guy.
I don't see one in the trailer, but I hope there's no bad guy.

I suppose you could argue the risk-adverse guys in NASA were the closest things to villains in the book, but that is a bit of a stretch.
-- Steve rather likes that. We could do with more "man against nature" stories, given that "man against man" is such a massive glut on the market.

They said that NASA decided not to go save him after they got his message. I'm thinking the guy in charge of that decision is Jeff Daniels. They show him with an evil face right before they talk about the mutiny.
That's not quite how it plays in the novel...

Book =\= Spoiler!
Hah!
Off topic, I like how Game of Thrones is changing it up a little from the books.

Yeah, until we know how closely the movie sticks to the book plot, we won't know if you're right or not.
(I'll say, however, that the scene in the trailer does not necessarily contradict the book, and you don't know enough to understand what you saw.)

There are major changes. Keep in mind, this comes from a friend of a friend of a friend who saw a cut, so don't consider that reliable. Having not read the book I can't say either.
I heard that it was Viking 2 the whole time!

I know because I finally watched "Interstellar" last night.
