Maurice Damon, Space Cowboy

Of course this is not a comedy. There was too much of the budget spent on action sequences to make this a comedy. The dialogue with funny parts had to keep us from killing ourselves. Which is how I felt when I watched Gravity. Sorry Academy, except I'm not.

There is an extra layer of hilarity of The Martian, though. It isn't very creative, but much like how in (spoiler!) Interstellar, I had to stop myself from screaming MATT DAMON! when he was on the screen, I had this in my head the whole time. (In a semi-related note, I asked my niece if she had seen Interstellar and she asked if that was the one with Matt Damon. I paused and decided that I would attempt to preserve the Matt Damon in this movie and said you're thinking of Matthew McConaughey. He also cannot have his name said correctly and it came out as McConaugHAAAAY!)

 
Gets me every time.

Yes, I am a child and think of Team America whenever I see Matt Damon. If you see him on Jimmy Kimmel Live, you know he has a very good sense of humor. However, if I ever see the man in person and I scream without thinking, he has every right to punch me in the face.
