#1536: The Martian

[[White Hat Guy comes up behind Stickman while he is sitting at a desk looking at a laptop.]]

SM: Ooh, trailer for

The Martian

WHG: What’s that?

SM: Movie of a book I liked.

WHG: Should I read it?

[[Stickman turns around in his chair to face White Hat Guy.]]

SM: Depends. You know the scene in Apollo 13 where the guy says “we have to figure out how to connect

this

thing to

this

thing using

this

table full of parts or the astronauts will all die?”

WHG: Yeah?

[[Stickman turns back to the laptop.]]

SM:

The Martian

is for people who wish the whole movie had just been more of that scene.

WHG: How on earth did

that

become a big-budget thing with Matt Damon?

SM: No idea, but I’m

excited.
