I wish I liked this #ProjectHailMary better because it’s very well-made with stakes, atmosphere, and production values. Unfortunately, its seriousness battles against its glib humor creating a tone that undermines the mission. My further thoughts can be found at TheEstablishingShot.org.

We have a Chan Is Missing discussion coming up w/ @kickseat (Rick Schmidt @LIGHTvideoRick edited that one), and also a Slacker (Linklater) discussion coming up - both of those movies are sources of inspiration for @53Spaceships movie (along w/ Star Wars 1977) - in March-April.

Recorded an interesting discussion with film critic @KICKSEAT about Rick Schmidt movies, + his experimental, improvised new movie Bread Machine. Mixed opinions on the movie - people can see the ep in the near future. Schmidt is a very interesting filmmaker with a unique career.
