Honestly I found Matt Damon's character's wisecracks in The Martian to be pretty grating & only gave him a pass bc he was gonna die alone

@arthur_affect If you didn't like Watney in the film, you would hate the book with a fiery passion. He's SO much worse in the book.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

@arthur_affect I think in the film it kinda works that way. But in the book you don't really get a sense he's concerned about death at all.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@AstroKatie Yeah I liked the movie version. Seeing someone successfully resist falling apart for that long is interesting
