Guys. GUYS. The EE of The Martian includes the scene where Commander Lewis tells Martinez to sleep in Beck's cabin and thereby busts open Beck and Johanssen's secret lovey-doveyness. *dies* And also >:(((( because they filmed that iconic moment in the book and didn't release it in the theater version.
Actually, it's... probably just as well because I'm sure I would have let out some ridiculously embarrassing *squeee awww oooh squeeee* noises in public when it happened because that's one of my favorite moments in the book. That Ridley Scott did at least film it does make up, in a small way, for his failure to have Beck respond to Beth's "Don't tell anyone I did that" with his "Don't tell anyone I liked it" line (even though, yes, Seb's acting there all but screamed it, with that giddy smile and shining eyes and lovesick puppy expression, but STILL FOREVER BITTER ABOUT THIS OMISSION).
I ordered that thing so fast my keyboard is smoking.
And I feel fully okay with that bit of wild money-tossing because I needed summer shirts desperately and found 5 at JC Penney's that fit well (FIVE... that alone borders on miraculous because between my normal 'shoulders as broad as Chris Evans' situation and 'must now always where loose sleeves because of post-breast cancer lymphedema prevention', I AM NOT EASY TO FIT, especially when the women's fashion industry insists women's arms are the size of raw spaghetti noodles). But even better? They were on sale... like 40-60% off on sale... and then when they rang up the purchases, they were even MORE on sale. I got all 5 nice shirts for less than $50, including sales tax, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. I had been prepared to pay much more. So yes. Flinging $20 to Mars was the icing on that cake.
I have no regrets.
