23. Well, the Kid and I went and saw Gravity

It's an interesting study into an unusual woman's psychology. George Clooney does a bang-up job, Sandra Bullock is a very troubled person who finds the will to live, if not a reason. My favorite slogan applies: too stubborn to quit, or die.

I think the science was decent. I'm more certain than ever that it wasn't a good fit for the Kid, and I wasn't in the mood for a tear-jerker, but in spite of myself, I can recommend it, as sci-fi, if nothing else: sci-fi in the classical, hard-science style.
