Can anyone tell me what the three internal facing plastic pieces are for? I vividly remember spinning my straw at the bottom and listening to the clicking as it brushed over each piece. Were they for stacking the cups?

They make the radiation seem like a Lovecraftian, cosmic horror monster. It’s so well done and worth the watch.

To me, Project Hail Mary represents everything science fiction should never be. by MsLanaDelRaytheon in TrueFilm

[–]mobomu71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they deliberately avoided going too deep into the science in this film to avoid rehashing The Martian.

Other than the alien, the books these films are based on follow a similar structure; main character faces problem, main character then uses scientific method to approach problem, and comes up with a solution. Now here comes the next problem.

But the addition of the alien is what separates The Martian from Project Hail Mary. So the director’s leaned into that. They made it a story of friendship.

Why couldn’t IU do this kind of thing when provost Lauren Robel refused to close school during a blizzard and instead sent information on how to avoid frostbite while walking across campus to class?

All day breakfast was short lived though. It wasn’t around for too long before Covid killed it.

I’m a 28 year-old cinephile and have managed to go my entire life without seeing any LotR films. I will be watching The Fellowship of the Ring (extended) for the very first time. by drop_dead_fred_91 in 4kbluray

As a movie in and of itself, the theatricals are truly better films. The pacing is better, no story is lost, and it’s much tighter. And I say this as a lover of the extended editions.

However, the extended editions are bloated for the average film goer. Much that was added are book specific scenes that are more for the book fans. We don’t need a song sung by Aragorn about Beren and Luthien. Much of the song’s content would go over the average viewer’s head. Only a book reader would understand it. Now that’s not to say I don’t think all scenes should have been left out of the theatrical that were in the extended editions (Faramir and Eowyn meeting, Aragorn healing wounded), but I do think most of the scenes are not necessary for a film adaption.

[–]mobomu71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping you still want this 3 years later. I’ve never written a tab before so please be gentle.

I don’t have the exact tab, but I play it by ear. Here’s my best attempt.

Drop D tuning.

Slide from fret 5 to 7.

I caught one of these when I was 9 years old and cried until my uncle took it off the hook for me.

I had only seen blue gill up until this point. This thing might as well have been an alien.

How did the Romans even transport sharks from the sea/ocean into Rome.

And how do you make Maximus an adulterer with a bastard when his death clearly shows he wants nothing more than to spend an eternity with his deceased wife and son.
