My mind was blown by 'Interstellar' when I saw it for the first time earlier this year, which set me on a quest of watching many of those space movies which were in vogue around that time a decade ago. Now working my way through this one, which is also really good, clearly gets the silver medal in the category (though nothing touches Interstellar). The most surprising aspect of The Martian is the deadpan humor that Damon's character brings to the story.
75th anniversary of the local Bach Festival. Tonight, two Harpsichords recreating the contest between Louis Marchard and Johann Sebastian Bach that never took place. Alexander von Heissen, now teaching in Leipzig, and his former teacher, Eva Maria Pollerus in a nice local baroque church.
