“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

i think there is a statue of grace. on the campus of the university where he got his phd. it's a big base, like the statue atop it is going to be a larger than life hero standing brave. but instead it is him, life size, sitting with his feet dangling off the edge and turned slightly to the side like he is in conversation.

there is room to sit next to him. students like to hop up and sit next to dr. grace to get advice, vent, just take a minute. he's a friend to all on campus

listen. eva stratt’s biggest mistake and greatest (emotional) downfall absolutely WAS keeping a junior high school teacher nearby. not as a tertiary science officer— that was a reason, in the back of her mind, but she also Needed Him.

it’s not as clear in the movie, but eva stratt does not seem to be a scientist. at least not at the level as the others on PHM. in the book, she seems to purposefully bring grace along to various meetings because she needs his input and his translation. there are several times that a scientist will propose a solution to her, and she turns to her snarky teacher friend second in command and asks his opinion. he’s there because he is incredibly smart and, if needed, can explain things to her so she can understand. before grace? i bet she was largely doing this alone. i’m sure others would explain things to her if she asked, but it comes so naturally to grace. it’s his fucking job. it’s his second language, AND he doesn’t think less of her for it. he knows what she’s capable of, and thinks she’s still right for the job, even if the science of it all is over her head

i’m sure that it started out early, when they were still learning what astrophage was. grace was a leading mind in it, and was needed. but then she brought him along to help translate other things for her. and then because she trusted his judgement. and then because, deep down, he was her friend.

she needed the junior high school teacher around. not a tertiary science officer.

why is there a klance renaissance in the year 2026 what's going on and why do i feel like i'm back in the late 2010s

[makobluerui]

i watched project hail mary

late to the party, yes, but i actually really enjoyed it! it was a pretty good adaptation imo because it really does try to stick to the spirit of the book and i commend them for it. and as a movie on its own if you haven't read the book i'd say it's remarkably solid

some of my thoughts:

additions- most of the additions i was pretty happy with, they helped to add elements to the movie that were maybe harder to translate in story. i really liked the beach at the end! the karaoke scene was a bit strange for me but it didn't yank me out of the movie so i'll let it slide

i will say i wasn't 100% onboard with the scene of stratt watching back the logs since i did personally prefer rocky giving the news. but you know i appreciated that they showed the climate getting colder.

i'm genuinely impressed at how they managed to adapt the book without the ryland grace inner monologue show. that was impressive. the video logs were a pretty smart workaround for times when they needed what the ryland grace monologue show could provide

the way the subtitling works when grace is on erid is great, i was so delighted when they didn't bother with rocky's little english voice at all it's such a good homage to the whole 'we're 100% fluent now.' part of the book.

grace saving the computer and the adrian mention were nice too! i like the little clear suit for rocky i kinda see it as a nice little 'this is what we can do now that we're back and have all the access'

a little sad they cut the 'it took you this long to think about poking it with a stick?' line from the book but it's okay. there were still very good moments.

but yes! overall it was a good movie, good watch, idk if i'd have gone to watch it again in cinemas but i'd recommend it to my friends for a late night movie session at someone's place so i'd say that's a win. good job project hail mary.

also, just saying, the fact that they named ryland grace the way they did is amazing. hail mary, full of grace indeed.

i have always had a special care for the myth of orpheus and eurydice. because in every version of the story, the only constant is that love drives them. orpheus walks into the underworld for love, and fails because of love. and eurydice will forgive him each and every time, every version of the story, because she loves him, too.

the love didn't save them, but it was there, and orpheus and eurydice is about that. that the love meant something to them. i don't know something about the inevitability of love just kind of gets to me. even when the story ends badly, even when they were doomed from the start, it was all worth it because there was love.
