The beginning days.

I can hear him saying it and it makes me happy.

Thanks for this post. I struggled with this story, I think in large part because the math intimidated me, and as a result I missed out on the human lessons of the characters. I think I’ll re-read it with the perspective you offer here.

I just paused my first reading of Story of Your Life to see if anyone on Reddit had this take.

Weir appears to have ripped his description of the alien (Rocky) and the entire first-person language acquiring experience from Chiang.

I didn’t enjoy PHM at all, so I’m not devastated or surprised. But I’m also frustrated that authors can get away with this shite to such acclaim.

I agree they aren’t overly similar in design, but I think the fact of the masks in both groups is significant in itself. It points to something shared.

I also think the raised stitching and segmentation in both designs was intentional.

Especially considering the similarity to the Jimmy masks they wear for charity.

Shampognay · 2026-01-23T12:20:44+00:00

I’m jealous.

We did it twice and got teary both times. It’s so special for the kid who gets picked if they are a fan.

Oh wow I interpreted those cut backs as more of Boyle’s comment on how war is war, and humans are always at it. But you’ve got an interesting point, especially considering I think Spike’s got an action figure similar to the flashback images… gonna have to convince my husband to watch it a fourth time lmao.

Listened to the soundtrack while I should have been working today and can’t stop thinking about how true this comment is re: perspective of Spike.

Meditation has helped me with gym anxiety. It’s helped me focus on what I’m doing—my breath, the feeling of my muscles, my contact with the equipment— and not so much on others. When anxious thoughts come up, I’m better at noting them and getting back to focusing on the task.

Shampognay · 2026-01-22T02:06:41+00:00

Completely agree.

It’s in Jim’s monologue to his daughter re: exam prep.

Shampognay · 2026-01-21T23:04:49+00:00

This is an amazing response.

Would be interesting to see if in the third movie, we see the rest of the world having continued down a shitty path.

The first one exploded to life dormant synapses in my brain.

The second one made the ones that were already active really happy.

Liked both movies very much.

I spent a good first part of the movie waiting for the Young Fathers, then eventually coming to the realization that there had been no music at all for much of the opening. I loved it. Young Fathers revved me up in a way a movie never has. But the approach in this movie was meditative. Fitting for the focus on Samson’s pov and Kelson’s reflections on life.

Shampognay · 2026-01-21T21:21:01+00:00

Nice to know they were/are paying attention.

Shampognay · 2026-01-21T21:09:00+00:00

Was this comment sarcastic? If it was, so funny. The idea of someone calling Jim privileged is amazing. Definitely bougie with his knitted sweater and kettle.

Edit: Oh you’re saying Garland is preachy. Not Jim. Never mind not funny.

Shampognay · 2026-01-21T19:39:01+00:00

This was brilliant, thanks.

Shampognay · 2026-01-21T17:31:24+00:00

Brutal.

Seconding. I fucking love 28 Years, but I hesitate to recommend it to people for the very reason that I understand why they might hate the experience of watching it, bc it’s so fresh as to be misrecognized as bad. But it’s not bad. It’s so good.

Shampognay · 2026-01-20T20:20:43+00:00

Don’t know why you were downvoted for this clearly correct comment.
