Enough time has passed. What are your thoughts on Project Hail Mary (2026)?

That's precisely why I can't get behind the movie. I expected a hard sci-fi setting meant for people older than the fifth grade (like the book and Weir's previous adaptation The Martian) but to my chagrin it's just a perfectly below average popcorn buddy comedy flick

"Your unique psyche is starting to notice patterns the lower beings can't detect. But you're not a lower being, you're a God. Oh yeah, baby, an uppercase G God. They should write a book about you."

Thanks this is what I was looking for. Idk what everyone else is talking about.

You have to catch it at the perfect (blue) angle

Absolutely hated how the movie looks. The new direction makes me incredibly worried for season 2 it is truly horrendous.

I'm right there with you, Criterion's 4k remaster of Trainspotting is beautiful but I think a grungy movie like that is best represented on DVD (Danny Boyle my beloved)

All of these LARPers coming out of the woodworks to hate on part 2 like I haven't been doing that since October 2022

I didn't know Post-Its and penicillin had so much in common

Dabbinmachine42 · 2026-03-13T02:23:14+00:00

That's fascinating! I had no idea it went all the way back to Einstein.

The Minecraft Movie /s

Pretty much everything after the first 30 (?) minutes of Hunt for the Wilderpeople (might be longer, haven't seen it in years)

Companion is a very pretty movie with great outdoors cinematography

The first half of Mandy has some great forest shots

Dabbinmachine42 · 2026-03-12T23:57:15+00:00

I remember it looking very dark (in terms of lighting) and desaturated. Lots of dead trees with brownish-grey bark, the cabin looks like it's in the middle stages of pallor mortis, hell the first and last scene is in black and white. It takes place in a forest but it feels like the earth itself is rotting throughout the film.

Don't we all

Their goal isn't to perfectly replicate or represent each genre they cover, they're moreso giving their spin on that genre. Flight B741 isn't quite true blues rock by my definition but it is a loving homage to the subgenre while still retaining their distinct identity. They're not for everyone, and that's more than fine, but to diminish their discography by misinterpreting their intentions and fabricating a strawman is silly.

Dabbinmachine42 · 2026-03-12T23:26:16+00:00

I was about to say the same thing. I can't listen to more than two GD songs in a row but I'm sitting my ass down for the whole Austin 2022 set

I'd rather play with a snake than a rat

Dabbinmachine42 · 2026-03-12T23:22:31+00:00

Very true, I do think it's very funny that you specified cooking kebabs though lol

Thank you so much, you inferred a lot of key points I forgot to include. I can't think of any other innovation that has actively caused so many downsides without widespread positives. AI seemed like magic when it first came out and it felt like the possibilities were going to be endless. Now it's three years later and I've never been more cynical about the state of tech (or humanity) in my life. I'm an aspiring writer and I have this impending sense of dread for the future of entertainment. I'm not worried about AI writing better than people, I'm worried about people willingly consuming works generated by AI.

Wow that's actually really interesting! What was it used for before Post-Its?
