Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hey, so the trailer for The Martian is out: [link]
And it's got a wicked high-profile cast. I'm impressed. But it doesn't look as funny as the book was. I guess we'll see.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But it doesn't look as funny as the book was.
I think the trailer is focusing more on the DIRE SPACE ACTION. Matt Damon seems perfect as Mark Watney, and his funny bits (in the trailer as well as this video) make me think the movie will definitely be as funny as the book. It's written by Drew Goddard, come on!

Yep, that was the moment I knew they got it. Also "I'm still alive, obviously." Just...everything about Mark Watney is perfect. He's determined to survive, but he has a sense of humor about his situation.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

LOVE that line.
They've definitely changed some stuff (it looks like maybe he can talk with NASA instead of just text, and it looks like the way they find out he's alive is different) but I think most of the trailer is from the last twenty minutes of the film, because that's where the high stakes drama is.
Suffice to say, I am bouncing up and down with flappy hands every time I remember this movie is coming. I am so freaking excited. Maybe I will read the book a few more times while I'm waiting.
