realized just now I never posted my notes from that one time I had the theater all to myself to watch phm
chekov's gun but with the pocket knife. we see grace put a knife into his spacesuit pocket while dragging all the cables and lights to the tunnel to see rocky. that same knife saves his life during the fishing incident.
The whole ship is labeled with flags from different countries who made those parts! Japan's flag on the outside of the hail mary near the airlock. South Korea on the hatches between parts of the ship. Canada on the wall(?) while grace is holding the camera and talking to it during the rocky moving in montage. Australia (i think?) in the clean room where the taumoeba breeder tanks are kept. American and specifically Boeing built the room that houses and launches the Beatles. You can literally see all these flags in teeny tiny little spots and know that that country made that thing. Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head
Grace wears the dress and glasses that ilyukhina wore in the party scene, and the bucket hat that yao wore
The ONLY time we see the scar from rocky on grace is when grace is doing the math to decide if hes gonna go to earth or go to rocky. Every single other time, its under bandages or covered by a sleeve
Grace's lip quivers at least 4 times while talking to stratt before he runs
The EVA suits either all have the same number on them or they have a way to clean/repair the suits. He wears suit #2 and it gets beat up and dirty during the fishing incident, but when he says bye to rocky and then goes to the blip a to find rocky, the suit is no longer beat up
The 3 astrophage in the movie ARE named just like in the book. Its a blink and youll miss it bit on the whiteboard before the shopping montage
Grace had a twizzler in his mouth at the store in checkout. They are shown buying the skittles but not the twizzlers. Either grace brought twizzlers in and ate them in the store, or he convinced Carl to buy them and opened them before they paid for them.
The "2" thing with grace (number 2 on the project, 2 on his eva suit) continues. His PPE suit in the argon filled lab has a big 2 on it under the numbers '1075'
When grace reads off what the astrophage are made of, he does so out of order to whats on screen
The hail mary has idle screens. Like the movie one where it would bounce around and get close to the corner
Grace has plants in his classroom and doesnt have the overhead lights on
Eventually ill get screenshots for this all. mostly for the flags to indicate what country/program built what parts of the hail mary
