Spoilers below the cut! Please note that I didn’t like the film, so if you don’t want to read my negative thoughts, be warned and scroll away ✨

Watched PHM yesterday and after scrolling the tag on here I feel like one of the very few who didn’t like it (like, at all). Did I expect it to be an exact copy of the book? No, that is not how adaptation works, duh. But I did expect them to keep the character cores intact, as well as the themes and gravity of the over all plot, but at this they failed.

Why did they dumb down both Grace and Rocky? In the book they’re both so so smart, but on screen they felt like fumbling idiots for most of the time, their friendship replaced with bickering, and whenever they showed Grace doing math it felt forced and out of place. I also don’t like how aggressive they made Grace’s frustration, and how careless he was with the Mary, like sure he has his moments in the book where he tries to flip a table etc, but he would never bang equipment around, or tear lights out of the interior like that, when he has flashlights??? It was hard to watch all the care and structure and thought both Grace and Rocky put into every part of this mission, get thrown out the window and replaced with slapstick humour. They misplaced Grace’s curiosity, his brains, and his compassion. On top of that, when they tried to show those moments of weight, like the funeral, Rocky finding out about radiation, or the post Adrian chaos, it just failed to land properly amongst all the forced comedy.

The other characters were also changed in ways I do not understand. Why was Stratt so soft? Why the weird will they/wont they romance between her and Grace? Why did they make Yao a funny guy? Why was EVERYONE a funny guy?? I liked the role Carl took up, but that’s about it.

I could yap about this a lot more, but one last point I want to bring up here is the science and the plot. I felt as if everything was explained extremely quickly and usually through off hand comments, and I can’t tell if someone who hasn’t read the book would be able to follow along. I am watching it again with my parents in a week, and if they get it and like it, I’ll have my answer. And I really hope they do.

Anywho, to anyone who liked the film, I am glad, and I hope it still goes well cause I want more sci-fi like this on the big screen 🫶❤️✨ also, to those who haven’t, do try the book it is very good

pet peeve is when you look up fashion references from a specific era and you keep getting modern day '[era]-inspired' fashion like NO i want authenticity damn it. i can see your 2020 photo quality and your 2020 hair and your 2020 makeup. youre not fooling me.

[bincliff]

hello i'm a historical fashion researcher and i have a lot of experience looking up things! this is a very widely experienced irritation and you're definitely not alone in this, but i am here to share everything i know!

so, ways to get around this:

turn off AI results. they're literally nonsense to us

don't use pinterest because the sources/provenance is often hard to trace

a standard internet search can be okay, but museum collections are the top tier (list of collections below this list)

instead of broad terms like victorian, regency, tudor, renaissance etc. try using the decade you're looking for. if you're not sure of what decade it is but have a vague image in your head, look on the fashion history timeline and just jump around until you find it. but even changing to e.g. 19th century will give better results than victorian

including terms like womenswear/menswear, daywear, formal wear, evening wear, court dress should increase the value of your search too

including "fashion plates" in your search can give you a nice impression of the intended silhouettes of the era. some of these might be a little stylised but will show you what was considered in vogue

for pre-fashion plate eras or things like makeup and styling, you'll have to look at portraiture or manuscripts. these are harder to actually find what you're looking for, but searching museum collections and limiting results to specific date ranges will be your friend

when looking at art, do bear in mind sometimes artists would paint fabric extra flow-y to show off their skills. it might not have been exactly like that in terms of fabric weight or drape. so, a pinch of salt required!

if you find something on image search where the provenance is dubious, reverse image search and you might find a source! i've been able to trace random pinterest images to real sources, but this does take a lot of time and effort and is often not worth the headache

some online resources and museum collections:

fashion history timeline is an invaluable resource if you're trying to get a feel for everything and should be your first port of call. it'll also link to good examples

the met has a vast number of extant examples of clothing, as well as fashion plates

costume institute fashion plates is a subcollection of the met for fashion plates (1800s-1922)

v&a also has many extant garments, fashion plates, and incredible articles on clothing and aesthetics. read the details of the objects because they'll often reveal a lot about the piece

lacma is good for C19th-20th pieces

nypl digital collection for photographs

national portrait gallery or similar for portraiture, or literally any museum in your country that has historical art

national museums scotland can be useful situationally but might be oddly specific

stout style history is a great collection for finding image references for fat people wearing historical clothes. survival bias of a lot of museum pieces tends towards smaller clothing that couldn't be repurposed, but this aims to counter that. it's not sortable, but is still a really nice resource

wikimedia commons is surprisingly handy! and the images, if you should need to link/repost them, are public domain

auction websites sound like a funny one to recommend. some won't have mannequins and some will. just look up historical garment auctions and you'll find some!

anyway, i hope this has been a good place to start for anyone interested! there are probably some i've missed because there are so many museums across the world and i don't know about all of them or can't remember them. but these are the ones i've used the most! (my specialisation/jobs i've had to research for have only really been in western fashion, so my resources reflect that)

[haemey]

Wikipedia has a list of fashion museums. Unfortunately, the page itself is only available in German, but the introductory paragraph is very short and after that, it's organised by country, and then it's a simple list. If you click on a museum's article, the website is usually linked in the overview table.

The Sun rises over Earth in a postcard illustrated by Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, recalling the 1965 mission when he became the first human to walk in space.

[carryonmysociallyawkwardson]

Alexei Leonov was a prolific and talented artist, and drew and painted many pictures inspired by his experiences in space

This particular picture is rather special though, because he drew the first draft for it while in space using coloured pencils he took with him:

[bullgirldick]

The first walk in space coincided with the first art in space. Humans literally can’t not do art

[helila]

my dude Alexei made some insanely cool space art

As I pulled myself back toward the airlock, I heard Pasha talking to me: “It’s time to come back in.” I realized I had been floating free in space for over 10 minutes. In that moment my mind flickered back for a second to my childhood, to my mother opening the window at home and calling to me as I played outside with my friends, “Lyosha, it’s time to come inside now.”
