I am in a constant state of confusion

What happens when Grace doesn’t sleep for 48 hours.

Shoutout to Project Hail Mary for being the only media where the unconscious protagonist is dragged off screen by an alien spider monster and the audience's reaction is heartbreak on behalf of the alien spider monster.

i just love all the stories about production on project hail mary. they didn't use a single green/blue screen in the whole film. they built the whole interior of the hail mary. the petrova line scene was done practically by putting infrared lights on a chicken wire cage. rocky's voice was one of the puppeteers because he did such a good job during filming that they couldn't imagine anyone else voicing him. and rocky was a practical puppet/animatronic! sandra huller picked sign of the times as her karaoke song and she asked her daughter if it was still a cool song. i just feel like there was so much love making this film and im obsessed

I was telling my bf the other night that I think Project Hail Mary is doing some interesting things with gender (the movie specifically, I havent read the book)- Rocky is given the option of several different voices, masculine and feminine ones, and chooses a masculine voice. When Grace asks if Rocky has a partner, they are referred to as Rocky’s mate, a gender neutral term, and the English name attributed to theirs is “Adrian” which is a gender neutral name. Yes I know Adrian is a woman in the Rocky movies that the name comes from, but Rocky the Eridian’s partner is never explicitly referred to as female/feminine in the movie, they are always Rocky’s mate. (And having been together over 100 years isn’t enough, and the way my bf squeezed my hand in the theater when Rocky said that line 🥺)

The protagonist, too, introduces himself by his last name, “Grace”, a traditionally feminine name here, and Rocky only ever knows and refers to him by that name.

And then I realized that Ryland Grace aboard the ship Project Hail Mary is a play on the phrase, “Hail Mary full of Grace”

Cute

Shit must be wild for Adrian though.

Your partner since you were young goes on a mission to save your dying planet and doesn’t return as expected. He is assumed lost in space, and everyday things get more dire on the surface. You miss him terribly. And then one day, an ALIEN SPACECRAFT shows up with not only the solution to your dying planet but also your partner.

And you’re probably thrilled but also thrown for a loop because what do you mean 1. Aliens are real 2. They breathe highly flammable gas and 3. Your partner made friends with it. And said alien looks like nothing you’ve ever heard, and has a sense you don’t have at all and is also apparently dying of nutritional loss? And your partner is like codependent as hell with it, and suddenly your entire life changes overnight. Also your partner is himself but also completely different in ways you don’t understand, in ways that are sometimes scary because all that time in space changes a person.

I don’t know how anyone would react to that, cus damn that’s overwhelming, but I think that’s an interesting dynamic to have with an alien. Your partner’s closet companion besides you is an alien. It feels like the alien knows your partner better than you do some days. The alien also helped save your entire planet.

Anyway the dynamic between Grace and Adrian has to be BUCKWILD.

i listened to the director's commentary last night while i was sceeencapping and they mentioned that when rocky says his name its more like a

"I am Rocky, first of my name, of the east Rockies and my people have been mechanics here for generations" sort of clan introduction than simply his given name

which makes a lot of sense that the little raspberry chirp he makes for grace's name is so short! bc he doesn't know anything about grace yet.

also means that that other ppst about adrian helping to come up with a full name for grace so he can introduce himself as "doctor ryland grace" would be absolutely accurate. as he became more well known, his name would get longer.

ALSO ALSO when rocky says adrian's name-- is he saying like "adrian, second of their name, of the dark caverns and cold stone"

or is he like "adrian, love of my life, most loyal and beautiful and honorable, strongest soul ive ever known"

bc that man gets INTO saying his mate's name, is all im sayin'

[hailed-marys]

get in the hail mary, grace
