I would be more interested in Stowaway if they didn't need a ticking clock situation, and it was just someone being forced to learn over two years as a person. Plus the whole premise being unbelievable. I'd understand it more if it was someone's beloved doggo jumping onto the rocket as it's blasting off because he's a good boy.
And I like Kendrick but she seems miscast here.

I agree space movie would be cooler without the clock if it was just "hey it's The Martian but with a normal dude who has to learn to like spacewalk and shit"
are YOU on the beer list?

Eh, The Martian very definitely also has a clock, it's just a long-running clock. Actually, it has multiple clocks. First he has to come up with a way to survive long enough for the next mission landing, which puts him at years. He can't grow enough to live off that indefinitely and even then, he has a hull breach and can't grow more food, so there's another clock of NASA getting him resources to keep him going. That fails, so then he has the clock of reaching the other rocket in time to modify it and launch in time to reach the Mars transport vehicle. And while all of that is happening, the people in the ship have their own clock because they also have to force NASA to send them supplies so they can do the longer mission to get Whatney. Heck, there's even a clock running at the end where they have to change their course to pick up Whatney after things don't go according to plan.
But I'm not at all a fan of the notion that they designed a life-support system for a long-term mission the astronauts can't fully and totally break down and rebuild themselves. "Life support broke" would be a problem, sure, but they would figure it out. And no way is NASA sending out a 2-year mission without a way to actually recycle CO2 into O2; we can already do that, it's just energy-intensive. And since the ship would undoubtedly have a reactor, spare energy should not be a problem.

They also need square filters, round holes, duct tape, and binders.

The best advantage The Martian had to survive was that
he was played by Matt Damon, and they're not killing Matt Damon.

Also coincidentally the dude who stows away worked on the life support system.

I would actually laugh pretty hard if the crew is receiving the bad news from NASA, NASA sees the stowaway floating in the background working on something, and then the NASA folks go "nevermind, Jeffrey there designed half that system, he could build you a whole new one if he wanted. You'll actually all be completely fine."
I'm not allowed to watch the Kendrick thing in Canada. It's ok netflix, I won't bother watching it all, I understand. Oh, but you let me watch some Melissa McCarthy garbage? Man, fuck you netflix.

I mean personally I'd rather see Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spenser and Anna Kendrick than a sixth Sharknado but that's just me.
I don't know if I've ever seen a more convincing "oh this person is completely dead inside"
Like, good on Stathem for figuring out how to sell that.
Its funny the first movies I saw him in were comedies (lock stock, snatch) but his whole career after that has been selling that he's a person who laughs without mirth.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
And Guy Ritchie has been on a repeated downstreak himself. So like this could be a return to form for both, or absolutely terrible, the trailer shows promise, but Ritchie movies always have good trailers.

The Man From UNCLE was legit good
I don't think I've liked much else recently besides that one
We had a great time with King Arthur at bad movie night, but that is not exactly a ringing endorsement
King Arthur was super forgettable. Man from UNCLE was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed that. The Sherlock Holmes films were both quite good, he was supposed to be doing a third one. The Gentlemen was also quite good, that might be the last movie we saw in theatres before the madness. Re-watched Rocknrolla the other night, still good.
Never saw Aladdin, didn't see any reason to but I don't put that on him.

When are we gonna get Crank 3 where it's just him running around naked dick hanging out fighting vampire drug lords?

The possibilities for sequels are endless
"you took my legs, so now I got a mech!"
"you took my dick, now I got a flamethrower duct taped to my crotch!"
It just ends up 100 years in the future where all his parts have been systematically stolen and he's just general grievous with 8 lightsabers and an identity crisis trying to steal his immortal parts back from the elite.

Guy Ritchie turning Arthur into a London Londinium Gangster.
David Beckham.
Odd camera gimmicks.
Game of Thrones cast reunion.
Wizards riding giant elephants.
(I really liked his King Arthur, in it's crazy, goofy way. And unlike that equally bizarre Robin Hood movie from a couple years ago I wasn't terribly bored by it.)
Statham's imdb.com profile, collectively, is a promise to you, the weary filmgoer. It's a promise that says, "I promise that you will not FOR ONE SECOND be bored during one of my movies. You won't learn shit about the human condition, or feel a collective connection with the brotherhood of man. But if you give me $10, I will fuck an explosion while a Slayer song plays".

Makes me think of The Cold Equations.

And that's it, there's no other ship disaster.

Spiral with Samuel L Jackson playing Samuel L Jackson and producer Chris Rock playing Samuel L Jackson's son.
Nothing can stop me from watching this.
