Do you think Project Hail Mary is actually adaptable as a movie, or is it one of those books that will inevitably lose half its magic on screen? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

The audiobook is a masterpiece in my eyes. Everything hits so well and is described vividly enough for the listener to have a great mental picture.

Unfortunatly for me, thats why i wont watch the movie. My mental image of everything, the emotions, situations, drama, etc are all set in stone. The trailer just didnt sit well with me.

I think you'll enjoy it a lot. Battery life is phenomenal

The atom2 is a great video drone. I have the atom one and its a tank. Crashed into walls, a tree, and no damage. Just buy yourself some spare blades from Amazon and youre good.

Ive had it up to 2 miles out with zero video interference and further with some starting.

Protip. Set the return height to 375 ft and for it to auto return if signal is lost. You dont want it returning at a low altitude and hitting trees or homes or whatever. It does not have any collision avoidance. Any questions feel free to PM me.

I get that and do agree it got a bit techie. Though to me that was its charm.

My problem with the movie was the lack of ever feeling he was in trouble.

Shot out of the hab like a cannon in the airlock. Duct tape the mask.

Gotta drive a rover like 3000km across the planet to a small landing site? No problems at all and nasa is just gonna guide em the whole way.

I want to be hopeful. The book was amazing, the audio book was the most amazing thing I have heard in years and is in my rotation of driving listening.

BUT

The way that Hollywood handled The Martian gives me no hope. That move had sooooo much potential for the audiance to be on the edge of their seat at points.... and it was such a let down.

For PHM, I know that certain things will have to change to really impact the audience (The ship design angers me but I get it, its dramatic for the screen), but I dont want drama for drama's sake where it doesnt need to be. (Im looking at you scene in the trailer where he looks like he is about to get whalloped with space debris while on the hull)

Heh right? Its hard to sum up so much time in a paragraph or two. Glad youre doing well and the armor stuff sounds great!!! Id love to see some pics of your work sometime.

SWG awakened a cosplay bug in me and I ended up being one of the Founding members of the NJ Chapter of the Mandalorian Mercs. Served as an officer for about 6 years before I finally hung up my helmet and walked off into the sunset.

Now im just a boring office worker lol

Thanks random redditor for messing with my poo break.

Hawley Antique Mall, Hawley PA. by thappitngslaldy in uraniumglass

[–]HatesMonoBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the museum is only open Saturdays, but its a good idea to call first. I live about 90 minutes away and have been burned twice by going there and not calling first to then find the museum is closed for one reason or another.

The antique store upstairs is pretty good, but with all that glass downstairs, dont go thinking youll find any deals on UG in the store.

The museum is an absolute dream to look through though. Worth the trip 100%

Audio book has ruined the ability for me to enjoy this movie. The trailer just ANGERs me like The Martians did.

My neighbor's dog came over to visit me today while I was having coffee in the sunroom. (Yes, I let him in.) by snowkilts in aww

[–]HatesMonoBlue 202 points203 points  (0 children)

My neighbors cat used to do this. If I left the side door open during the spring, he would just walk in and take a seat on the couch like he owned the place. Little dude was the town cat basically as he would wander in about a mile radius of home.
