Occasionally you will see me reply the most thirsty online weirdo shit ever to this one e girl but rest assured it’s okay - she’s my wife

You ever read a book and you’re like “holy shit this is my favorite book” and then they make a movie of it and you’re like “I hope they don’t screw it up” and then the movie comes out and you’re like “holy shit they didn’t screw it up and this is one of my favorite movies ever”?

Four beers in, I’m watching the Manosphere documentary

@VitoCC2 Absolutely loved it

@daviddashcoby Did you guys like it? I just got out

When these came on screen my wife asked if they were real and I had no idea. Now we know :)

how it feels to walk out of the theater after having seen project hail mary

Got my horse to water. Now for the easy part

“Are those real?” “You know…honestly……..probably dude I dunno James Webb goes stupid sometimes” “Wa…wait what?” “I…the James Webb space….wait hold on is there an after credits scene?” “I dunno” “We can’t even google if there is it just came out” I swear that’s how it went lmfao

when she looks straight at ryland and sings the lyrics “remember everything will be alright, we can meet again somewhere, somewhere far away from here” yeah just drop me

The idea of them filming one of the most beautiful scenes ever with IR lights on chicken wire, while Ryan was pretending to touch things he couldn’t see and everyone else crying watching the monitor because it was so beautiful, is just so funny to me😭

liking every positive tweet about project hail mary

Haven’t been able to stop thinking about Project Hail Mary

I get the chance to tell them *why* this post sucked and now I’m realizing this is probably going to be used as free AI training

I HAVE THE DISLIKE BUTTON WATCH THIS FUCKING SPACE!!!!

@goslinq The entire coma process was fine tuned by Thailand iirc! The only taste of Americana hubris is the inventor of the Beatles and they actually ended up saving humanity!!!

“all project hail mary does is glorify america and promote american exceptionalism” meanwhile this is the quite literally the hail mary mission patch and the co-collaborators and astronauts are chinese and russian 😭

You can be pretty confident that someone doesn’t read when they say “raped over at Kohl’s” rather than “raked over the coals.” As literacy declines, we are seeing new & unparalleled malapropisms.

@lilydsmith Worth it. Fantastic book, fantastic movie

clearing my schedule to finish reading project hail mary to avoid any spoilers before i see it in theaters.

• be Torakusu Yamaha • the son of a low-ranking samurai astronomer in 19th-century Japan • obsessed with Western machines, you make a living repairing watches and medical equipment • 1887: a local elementary school has a broken American reed organ. Nobody in the small town knows how to fix it. • you take it apart, realize it’s just two broken springs, and easily repair it • but instead of just handing it back, you realize: "If I can fix this, I can build it." • you draw a blueprint of the inside of the organ and build the very first Japanese-made reed organ from scratch • you show it off. People tell you it sounds terrible. • most people would quit. You sling the heavy wooden organ over your shoulder on a bamboo carrying pole. • you physically carry it 160 miles (250 km) on foot, trekking over the brutal Hakone mountains just to reach the Tokyo Music Institute to get real feedback from experts • the professors play it. They tell you the mechanics are brilliant, but the tuning is completely wrong. • you don't get defensive. You stay in Tokyo for a month, sitting in on university music theory lectures, holding a single tuning fork to your ear until you completely master the mathematics of sound frequencies • you walk 160 miles back home • you build a second organ. The professors test it and declare it "as good as those from abroad." • you found Nippon Gakki Co. (which later becomes Yamaha Corporation) • you decide to make your company logo three interlocking tuning forks to remember the pain and discipline of learning music theory from scratch • decades later, your company uses its piano woodworking expertise to build wooden airplane propellers in WWII • after the war, the company uses its new metallurgical expertise from the airplane engines to build motorcycles • you accidentally create a timeline where repairing a broken elementary school organ directly leads to the creation of the Yamaha YZF-R1 superbike • absolute, relentless horizontal integration based purely on figuring out how things work The ultimate testament to reverse-engineering reality.

It’s a privilege to make a movie. A bigger one to do it with your best friend. Bigger still to have so much help from so many brilliant artists and friends old and new. But the biggest privilege of all is when people you’ve never met give you their time and attention and take a seat. Without that generosity a film cannot exist. Thank you, friends. Thank you strangers. Hope you love it.

I still think of the time they made fun of Kamala Harris for using wired headphones because she actually listened to the NSA briefings
