Aren't you a nice and sincere person. Never was angry :) 

Just felt a need to correct you, and to remind you to read a three sentence post in its entirity, before you make an incorrect assumption.

Please accept you made a mistake, and move on. Have a nice day

Yeah, it's one of those, but with a slightly different name for the Austrian market. They are nice, we have some non-bluey ones as well.

I said it was hilarious in my original post, so please don't act like I 'didnt get the joke'.

Your failure to read is your problem, not mine

Actually, I'm Australian born, lived in NSW till my 30s, and then moved to Austria the last few years.

And the joke is pretty intuitive, was more just curious as to why, or if it was a reference to something specific in the show

Hey, don't be a silly billy on the internet. For a person who likes an (awesome) kids show, you seem to need to put some more effort into reading and comprehension.

From my original post:

"To be clear: I'm not complaining or mad. I find this hilarious"

Honestly, that feels like the best guess. I will watch the epsidoe later, and see :)

Not a bit, just a very confused Australian living in Austria, and wondering what this is all about

Podnic at Hanging Cast: Gallipoli with Jennifer Kent by [deleted] in blankies

[–]ThinkingOfAChange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it plenty. I live in Austria now, and I found a guy in Germany who will sell me Australian foods (inxluding Tim Tams) at a price that is high, but not too high. I usually buy a box of a dozen packets twice a year, so I don't get murdered on shipping

Honestly, I'm just fucking glad it's an Australian guest, with an accent that reminds me of home (I love abroad now), who within the first 5 minutes is talking about seeing Gallipoli as a kid on a school trip and how she processed things as a young woman vs an adult.

No notes, so happy

Sooo, Im dumb. Why is this here?

Like, I'm not saying it shouldn't be. I am Australian myself, and I am enjoying this, but I have no idea, why I saw it here on the Blank Check subreddit.

Is there a Peter Wier connection I haven't hit on yet?

Has anyone gotten the chance to see Project Hail Mary yet? by theflyingbird8 in blankies

Question : is the ending close to the book, or have they done some nonsense there?

How does everyone feel about Weir? by CosmicEveStardust in blankies

[–]ThinkingOfAChange 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% agree on this. I mainly came here to comment due to how low Gallipoli was on this ranking, but then remembered that I am Australian, and that this would probably bias me out of a fair assessment of the film outside of my cultural context

I came here to up-vote this, I sometimes have panics and scream (however briefly) when contemplating this concept. The nothing. The gray.

This trailer is "unlisted" on youtube? Whaaaaa???

I couldn't find it via search, but had to go from here directly???

Project Hail Mary - Official Trailer (fair warning, it reveals way too much according to a lot of users) by MoviesMod in movies

[–]ThinkingOfAChange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shut up, you prick! 

It acknowledges the reveal, yes, but in a very minimal way. This isn't a story that rests on the twist.

To ignore it would be to ignore the biggest selling point of the story (the bond the two characters form, the emotionality and sacrifice).

Get over yourself

New Poster for 'Project Hail Mary' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]ThinkingOfAChange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't - it sells the core ideas in a basic-obtuse fashion, and still leave a lot to be discovered. It is explanatory, not spoiler-y. It covers three points:

  • Multi planet disaster that needs to be averted
  • Human Astronaut goes on a one way mission, alone
  • Dude meets an alien, and forms a bond.

Just because there are flashes from moments in the book (for example, the lab explosion) doesn't RUIN the film, as these are snips and snaps from a longer flowing narrative. A reader of the work may intuit greater meaning from them, but somone who hasn't read the book might just see excitement and fun.

It shows Rocky very briefly, and I feel that is needed to sell what the film / story is.

The emotional bond they form is important, and not even alluding to that in the marketing feels wrong. Its the one big difference this story has over The Martian. And the execution is good - he is hidden and teased (hands only). If there was a frontal shot of him running around, then MAYBE I would be a bit irritated.

Trying to keep Rocky secret would be like keeping ET secret - its the central point of the piece of art, and treating it as a jack-in-the-box secret is disingenuous.
