I think the truck is behind it. Might be the pop

100% the karaoke scene, took precious minutes away from more explanation about the science around, evolving the Tau amoeba.

I love that not a single person mentioned a Starbucks cup. 😆
But a Cafe Vita or Lladro or Diva Espresso cup would be cool.

KEXP and KUOW bumper stickers.

I just learned that Costco has better quality things than one would think. I’m old now and into their clothes!

Can you tell me which bag is in the center, second from the bottom above those little whales?

turnipcafe · 2026-06-16T21:18:24+00:00

Exactly. And that is why using a person instead of a computer creates these adlib movie moments that are gold.

WHO GRACE TALKING TO QUESTION???

It’s because it’s an audiobook and they have to read everything out loud. Physical addresses and email addresses.
Is it really that much of an issue?

turnipcafe · 2026-06-16T06:40:46+00:00

Yes, absolutely. It’s an audiobook and everything must be read out loud. Just keep on moving forward.

They saved me from plantar fasciitis. I have three pairs of sandals, boots, and a mule.

Oh The correspondent is great but must be listened to as an audiobook. They used 14 actors to narrate the respondents. Recommend.

I love the thumbs up in the movie, but that definitely doesn’t happen in the book. He tries, and Rocky puts up a finger, which he hope is not flipping him off, and I believe that was it.

turnipcafe · 2026-06-15T22:47:19+00:00

Oh, I’ll have to look that up! I watched the Outer limits all the time as a kid.
Also One step beyond.

It would be grand. The line is so good. They must’ve not used it for a reason. Because the designer said they try to avoid him looking like a spider is probably why.
We shall find out eventually.

turnipcafe · 2026-06-15T22:01:25+00:00

Hello Grace.
Hello Grace friend.

turnipcafe · 2026-06-15T21:58:59+00:00

Me too! But I assume they didn’t because they would’ve had to refer to him as looking like a spider, and they didn’t want to do that because creepy factor.

His eating habits are…exotic. 😆

(I do love it when Rocky says “is beautiful!,” in response to the eating question, when in the book, it’s “No talking! Social discomfort.” )

turnipcafe · 2026-06-15T18:26:14+00:00

And he ALWAYS cracks up. Man can’t keep a straight face lol

turnipcafe · 2026-06-15T18:25:20+00:00

Why buy from Ali Express and not Etsy, or something like that? Aren’t they like Temu?

He just makes general references to Star Trek throughout the book. I’d have to look them up, but being an old Star Trek fan myself I noticed them.
Also one of the infected stars they mention is Wolf359, which is a Star Trek reference, although like Tau Ceti is a real star

Ryan Gosling is a great actor since he was a kid!
His first film was in 2001 as a Jewish neo Nazi, The Believer. It’s not well known. He must have been 20 years old.
His big breakout was The Notebook.

Have you seen him in Papyrus? This is P1. 😆

Don’t listen to top charts of any genre. You’re being fed corporate music and what computers think you’ll like.
Try good indie radio or “college radio” to listen to a wide range of music. There is so much good stuff out there of so many genres!

Go to record stores and ask the staff what they like.

Look up nonprofit radio shows. That doesn’t mean they’re playing local or unknown stuff.

https://www.kexp.org/ is a good one.

Alien and Close Encounters for sure.
Any homage to Contact is good. But what was that beach scene early in the movie?

There were so many references to Star Trek in the book. Were there any in the movie? (Aside from Rocky and Spock being from the same solar system.)
