@goslingsfilms Dude was straight. Awkward as fuck, but straight.

#TACO @realDonaldTrump is still a pussy. He'd nuke Tehran if he was serious. He's a coward

@rockyandgrace WTF are you talking about? He's definitely awkward. The rest are questionable.
English

@sudsmixer @JWhitebread1 At least Rocky looked more like the book than the ship did. (Not complaining, the movie was far better than the book sketch on this).

Project Hail Mary is an exceptional film. Great adaptation of the novel. Go see it. Anything I could criticize about it would be nitpicking.
...
BUT HEY! THAT'S WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR! SO LET'S DO THIS! NITPICKS AWAY!
If you loved the parts of the novel of where Grace "sciences" his way out of problems, a hallmark of Weir's writing, you aren't going to get much of that out of this film. They chose instead to focus on the relationship between Rocky and Grace, which was the right call. It's mostly a story about a man finding his courage through an unlikely friendship.
Still, there are hints to those problem-solving scenes in the movie. One of my favorites is near the end of the novel where Grace uses the spin-drives on the Hail Mary as an improvised IR LiDAR to find Rocky's disabled ship. If you look at the displays, you can tell that's what he's doing, but they never explain it, it's more of an Easter Egg to fans of the book to let us know, hey, we love that part of the book too.
Still, the movie has a LOT of musical montages, and long cinematic scenes where nothing much happens other than gorgeous visuals. They are beautiful, but, they could have cut a few minutes of those and put a LITTLE more of the science into the movie, I think.
Overall, very great film though, great performances, great sets and visuals and really heart-warming.

@tuckthetank @DougWahl1 Because they are being demonized by the press and liberals for doing their job, which is endangering them.

@CinemaTweets1 I listened to the audiobook first, so I imagined Stratt a little more frumpy, but Hüller really did portray her very well.
English

Catching #ProjectHailMary a second time late last night, Sandra Hüller really stood out. The way she’s used in the film & her timely appearances throughout Grace’s journey are so important. I can’t wait to see where she takes her career from here, I love everything she’s done.

@rob_rubsam @CraigGaIIagher Doesn't matter. Still more successful than you

@CraigGaIIagher Resentful of what? The ability to pad out a sci fi manuscript with high school science projects?

@ThePatriotOasis Obama is pissed Trump keeps copying his homework

🔥🚨 BREAKING: President Trump reveals that Iran has agreed NOT to have a Nuclear Weapon
President Trump has done it! 🔥
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "We are having REALLY GOOD decisions with Iran.'
"They've AGREED to not having a Nuclear Weapon!"
"I think there is a GOOD chance that we end up with a deal!"

@DC_Draino He's just letting the markets settle before some stupid announcement on Friday.
English

@allenanalysis He's a cowardly pussy. He'd use nukes if he had any balls

@2xsam_ you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the long dark teatime of the soul
English

@2xsam_ In the end, it was the Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness which starts to set in at about 2:55, when you know that you've had all the baths you can usefully have that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the papers

@allenanalysis Bibi has been saying "two weeks" for 30 years
English

Joe Kent on camera tonight:
“All 18 of America’s intelligence agencies agreed — Iran had no capacity to develop a nuclear bomb.”
“But Israel was telling us they would be able to assemble ten bombs in two weeks.”
18 American intelligence agencies: no nuclear capacity.
Israel: ten bombs in two weeks.
Trump chose to believe Israel over his own entire intelligence community.
This is not the first time this has happened.
Iraq 2003: Ahmed Chalabi told the Bush administration Saddam had WMDs. The intelligence community had doubts. They chose Chalabi. 4,500 Americans died. No WMDs were found.
Iran 2026: Israel said ten bombs in two weeks. 18 agencies said no nuclear capacity. They chose Israel. 14 Americans dead. No nuclear program found.
Joe Kent ran the National Counterterrorism Center.
He just told you on camera what the intelligence actually said.
And what was ignored to start this war.
Never stop connecting the dots.
