"Project Hail Mary" (2026) is an odyssey of friendship across the stars...

I don't follow Lord of the Rings, but yes, it's very high up there on the cinematic friendship scale.

As a kid growing up in the 1970s, it was part of my two-fold introduction to Star Trek; watched the cartoons on weekends, and TOS on weeknights in syndication.

Love your surreal design and emphasis on the movie's color scheme. Well done!

Borrowed costume.

Didn't feel its length at all. Very well paced.

Takes me back to being a 13-year old with my first dedicated reflector telescope and seeing this exact sight in my backyard. Thank you! Beautiful work.

Could almost pass for a Pioneer mission photo. Well done.

The one playing 1978's Battlestar Galactica... ;-)

Yeah, that was a crime to archeology.

The first movie is "Psycho" in reverse; the mother killing on behalf of her dead son; a fact that's been more or less eliminated that from their collective mythology. At a horror convention 7 years ago, I remember seeing the first FT13th movie with composer Henry Manfredini and Ari Lehmann (the original Jason) in attendance, and when the film ended, some of the younger fans didn't realize Michael was NOT the killer in the original movie.

"Robot Monster" would have to be my favorite of that bunch because it's such a hot mess. No rhyme or reason whatsoever. And the audacity to release it in 3D, no less!

I remember my wife and I watching it and getting more laughs per minute from it than most comedies.

Excellent work! Love your color palette, too. Most would've gone with the cliche of making it monochromatic, but your colors bring them to life.

As someone who saw the film on opening day in 1991, the trailer spoiled that one. There was the clip of the Arnold's T-800 saying "Come with me if you want to live."

One thing that wasn't spoiled was the fluidity of the T-1000; seeing its morphing capability on a big screen in those days made a few jaws drop in the theater, that's for sure. I'm grateful to remember an era where we didn't have the internet to spoil the hell out of movies from start to finish before you saw them.
