Joshua Ben Joseph (Jesus) was born at noon, August 21, 7 B.C. But it's impossible to get into the "Christmas" spirit in August, so we don't even try.

The Martian

Prop — Sat, 10 Oct 2015 06:40:38 +0000

Though I haven’t yet determined whether I think that the movie The Martian is the best flick I’ve ever seen (Blade Runner, also a Ridley Scott production, being my long time fave; Prometheus was his previous film), it is certainly the most involving because of its strong emotional component and its geeky appeal.
