Drive by post!

[exsequar]

I'm so exhausted that I can't even contemplate a real post, but a few things:

• THE MARTIAN!!! No really, THE MARTIAN!!!!!! Today I did an activity with my Algebra 2 kids where their answers, once put in order, yielded "THE MARTIAN" and then I showed them the trailer and got nerdy at them. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! I read the book in two days, saw the movie the day it came out, started the audio book, saw the movie again, and am now listening to the audiobook on my commute every day. I just. MARK WATNEY. YOU BRILLIANT SARCASTIC LITTLE SHIT. And can we talk about how much I ADORE the Hermes crew? A D O R E. I liked them on the first read, but after seeing the movie it's like - all their adorable faces! SEBSTAN'S ADORABLE FACE AND HIS ADORABLE COZY SWEATERS!!!! And I'm in LOVE with Martinez. I literally want an entire movie about them going back to earth and hugging Mark way too much and Sebstan and Johanssen trying so hard to be secretive and everyone teasing each other and smiling all the time because they did the most INSANE AND WONDERFUL THING IN THE HISTORY OF SPACE TRAVEL!!!! Ahem. I have feelings.


• Supergirl! You should watch it! I've only seen the beginning which was basically the same thing as the extended trailer but I love it! Melissa Benoist is so friggin cute! And for some reason I cry every time she goes to save her sister. SISTERS. YAY.


• JANE THE VIRGIN! I had heard great things but hadn't gotten around to it. Started it randomly on Netflix and I'm in LOVE. IT'S SO DELIGHTFUL. Jane is just SUCH a dear, Gina is so great. Her family is super cute. And Raf is stunnnning and super precious too. Also Petra for some reason I find riveting even though she's so terrible? Something about the enormous bambi eyes and pillow lips. She's gorgeous *__* Michael is sweet sometimes but I generally find him a bit off putting. Anyway. THIS SHOW. YOU SHOULD WATCH IT. YES.


• Fuck the Walking Dead. (I haven't watched the latest but I'm spoiled. Fuck everything.)

OK I'M DONE BYE.

Have you watched all the online interviews with the crew of the Hermes? I'm sure you have but they are great in case you haven't... one thing i really loved about the book was the little way in which the author made it known that Watney was the heart of the crew. It was also great the way Lewis's fascination with the 1970s was brought to life in the soundtrack. :) also loved troy as the astrodynamics dude, perfect energy for the role.

Now someone can cross Sebastian's space role with Chris's role in Sunshine (hopefully so that Sunshine makes a little more sense!) Like, Sebastian helps Chris train for his long mission, so Chris has a reason to survive and makes sure his mission makes it home again, because happy reunion :)

THE MARTIAN! LET ME FLAIL AT YOU SOME MORE ABOUT THE MARTIAN! BECAUSE WATNEY! AND THE CREW!! AND THE HERMES!!! AND MARS!!!! ALL LOOKING SO AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

OK I'll stop with the exclamation marks. :D

But seriously, SO GOOD! If this was seven years ago I'd have twenty Martian icons for LJ by now (*sigh*). I've seen it three times now and it's not enough. I SO need the DVD!

I even bought the soundtrack (the disco tracks, not the instrumental - yet!).

The Martian! Yes! Who could not love what is basically MacGyver in space? Haven't yet managed to find the time to see the movie (which is pitiful, I KNOW) which makes me sad. Let's hope for soon!
