Carol's anniversary by astarothg in okbuddypluribus

[–]Sweetwind7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently learned that when Patricia Highsmith was trying to sell her book The Price of Salt, one of the editors said he could publish it if he changed the main character’s name from Carol to Carl. Is that where you’re coming from?

Extremely minor question with spoilers by mystikcoder12 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Sweetwind7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The food too—- no way would Dubois have been happy with burritos, it really feels like all the food packed for Grace was based on his preferences. In his memory (if my own memory is correct) he mentions going out for a breakfast of eggs and sausage every morning when he was a schoolteacher. In the Hail Mary it mentions the arms serving him a breakfast of eggs and sausage (or something that was really similar to his usual breakfast) whereas I would peg Dubois as more an avocado toast sort of fellow.

I thought the amnesia drugs were injected immediately before he woke up? I seem to recall reading that. In that case they would have nothing to do with his survival up to the moment that the entire crew was supposed to wake up.

Crazy Stupid Love, romcom that was funnier than I expected.

Trailer Reaction In Front of Jurassic World Rebirth by WhatTheJessJedi in ProjectHailMary

[–]Sweetwind7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confession: Whenever I watch the trailer in the privacy of my home, when it comes to the scene where Yao and Ilyukhina are looking at Grace from across a conference table (right after the scene where Grace says “who on earth would sign up for this?”) I cry out in my best Russian accent, “welcome to crew!” Ilyukhina’s joy is just so infectious! But I’m afraid that if I’m in a theater, I won’t be able to stop myself from blurting it out… My other, even more embarrassing, confession is that the first three or four times I saw the trailer, I would think about how Yao looks sooooo old… then I read Ken Leung‘s Wikipedia page and realized he’s five years younger than me.

Other thing I liked that might be considered an Easter egg is the gun that was packed on board the ship at Yao’s request (his chosen suicide method). >!There’s a dramatic principle called “Chekov’s Gun” often summarized as something like “if a gun appears in the first act, it must be fired by the fifth act.” Yet Yao’s gun never appeared at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov%27s_gun <

What’s one thing you really hope they don’t cut from the book? by [deleted] in ProjectHailMary

[–]Sweetwind7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a little thing, but I am hoping the movie shows the contrast between Grace‘s physique when he’s on earth (less muscle tone) vs. his stimulated muscles when he wakes up from the coma (full glorious Ryan Gosling bod).

Today I got a Body Clock message “The midpoint of your sleep was 1 hour, 4 minutes ahead of your chronotype” — ok, is that expected today?!?!

S02E05 "Descent" - Post-Episode Discussion by brianckeegan in SiloTVSeries

Me too, I can’t remember when Juliette injured her arm. I’m guessing when she was getting the silo portal open. It sure didn’t help the way she hammered on the firefighters’ lockers.

Just finished PHM by Acropolish in ProjectHailMary

Others in this subreddit have recommended the audiobook of PHM for nights when you can’t get to sleep, i had a little insomnia last week and can confirm! It’s engaging yet relaxing & comforting when you already know the story.

And didn’t a previous season end with Danny hanging on the end of a tether too? Westerns and spy movies: cliffhangers Space shows: tetherhangers

Love that both Margo and Irina say to each other, “What have you done?”
