No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. →
On October 18, millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.
It turns out that The Martian, which I am implicitly compelled to watch whenever I run across it on television, has an extended edition; I rented it for mental health self-care purposes last night. (For a good time, watch me weep when Watney finds Pathfinder; it happened when I’d read the book, too.) I didn’t notice anything that would have been better off left in, although I appreciated getting to see Park and Kapoor’s realization that Watney had decided to use what might have been his last days alive to complete the crew’s original mission. I probably should just own this movie, but there’s something to be said for the random serendipity of stumbling upon an airing.
