I really like the Martian (movie not book), I feel like Proj Hail Mary is trying to tell a character story that's sorta impossible to adapt
even if you let the MC talk to himself a lot
I don't like his books at all, I really thought I would when I first read the Martian
ik for some people they're some of their favorites
but yes, definitely more introspective and technical in writing
without spoiling anything, since I still think most people here would find it worth watching Proj Hail Mary
I don't think you can write a main character who needs to be 10 different characters at once, and gloss over the internal conflict
being scared, witty, smart, etc. all at the same time is sorta exhausting for the viewer
Have you seen and do you like Arrival Leg?
You should watch Arrival
That's the entire premise of that movie
Actually Leg, I may tempter my recommendation to you slightly
I think it is a really great movie, but there may be a couple parts that frustrate you
I think the fact there is never a real language issue is the part that I feel they missed on
if you want to handwave the initial learning to some passable level, sure, I'll suspend my disbelief
but after that, it makes no sense to drop it as a plot point, and treat it as some Pacific Islander "Ohana means family" type exchange every time
though, I can sorta look past it because I'd hate for an entire movie to sound ESL
which probably comes across better described in-text
My issue really is the all-in-one MC, I think it's a hard to suspend my disbelief that he can simultaneously have every character perk and character flaw at once, all the time
The Martian worked better ironically, by giving him less flaws
clearly Leg, the best way to experience the movie is to see it in some random Indonesian dub
get really immersed
one of my favorite parts of the movie, was the classroom scenes when all the kids are talking about the stuff going on
and coming to the realization "oh we're fucked"
in a funny kid sorta way
All day today there have been fireworks spontaneously combusting
the humidity has dropped, a bit, and now it's just a nice toasty 110
Why would they do them so early. Fireworks must suck when it is bright out
not on purpose
oh lol
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 the humidity has dropped, a bit, and now it's just a nice toasty 110
I miss hoodie weather.
I'm still wearing my hoodie
I'll stop at 120-ish
that's when I'll actually start sweating and need to take it off
Sorry Canada
You guys got beat by a fake country
damn...
tbf, it's hot
And these Africans were probably more used to it
I actually think Morocco looks less brown overall
Until you get to those deep interior villages on the Mali border
Where ISIS and Kony 2012 are
I am going to have to cross Canada off my cum shirt now
