It could be toxic to the potatoes though.

I've re-watched the movie a bunch and it's still eminently enjoyable. I still hate EVA guy bouncing off a spaceship with no tether but I skip past it.

Oddly enough that part almost endeared the movie to me. Like, every other space movie, if someone goes out without a tether, it's Hubris and they're p much dead. Here, it's a risky move made due to the haste of the situation, and it happens to work out. Maybe I'm just super jaded by plot gimmicks/structure lately, this was like a breath of fresh air.

Overall, I think I liked the movie better than the book, just because Damon made the main character so, so much less annoying.
