i'm ngl japan going from having 54 IMAX 70mm theaters to now having 0 is kinda insane

I feel like pH paper is the ultimate litmus test for whether a substance is acidic or not

@antiAntiperson @NoLifeJordan69 Yeah no need to find a predator or anything just go get it

@NoLifeJordan69 I think it’s so sad that, after the Hail Mary leaves the solar system, Earth is too busy trying to save and fight itself to care that they’ve been given a miracle fuel that would allow them to colonize the entire solar system with absolute ease

Learning about the spin drives and astrophage is crazy 30 million seconds of specific impulse and 60 kN of thrust for a single spin drive With 1009 spin drives on the Hail Mary

@GFunk911 @artwithinpod He's a big cornball but that's what it takes

@artwithinpod The book has strong Reddit-brained writing, as do all his books. And I love Weir. I find it corny but not inherently positive or negative. So maybe it’s a lot of projection from book readers.

genuinely racking my brains trying to figure out what people are talking about as "reddit millennial jokes" in this movie. I've been sensitive to this kind of thing before (it feels very present in EEAAO) but didn't notice anything here!! it's a comedy!!

@devahaz @somewheresy Grateful some teachers still teachthe Creed inside of the classroom. We've had enough of the atheist experiment.

@somewheresy I dunno this guy has also made them fluent in a foreign language, pretty impressive teaching work

It’s incredible how teaching in the US below the college level became a jobs program for people who don’t want to work and shouldn’t be teaching kids anything.

@yFactr @SpoxSpace Yeah what's up with it is it gonna go?

@SpoxSpace this is beautiful , i wish star ship was real

I’ve quoted this tweet like 500 times but I do still think that these windows are peak

@DirtBotch @lil_buts I noticed that and was like well shit two flip top tubes it'll probably go but that's not how you're supposed to do it

@lil_buts I’m personally displeased with how he didn’t balance the microcentrifuge before spinning shit

The only thing you’re allowed to be mad about re Project Hail Mary is that his name is Ryland

@KenKirtland17 I think with this one it'll be such a different experience

Should I still read the book for PHM? I’m guessing I know the answer lol

@SheaSerrano This had Fall Guy fingerprints on it

The Gray Man and The Fall Guy were not good

@yFactr When he pulls open the little late-night-gas-station drawer and he's like "Whoa your atmosphere is pretty hot!" they blow right past the moment but it shows some good speculative biology worldbuilding

Interstellar presents as a serious movie but when you dig down it's silly nonsense. Project Hail Mary presents as a silly movie but when you dig down it's very rigorous and pretty serious

@hecubian_devil Did you go out with 2 Joni Mitchells

One time I was at bar karaoke in like 2015 and two white girls did John & Yoko’s “Woman is the N— of the World.” Everyone audibly groaning at their shit.

@helloimage73 @hairball1952 Was going to say

@hairball1952 Nothing to do with his gorgeous face AT ALL lol

damon albarn is the og performative male

@coopercooperco I still watch the original trailer all the time

Man, remember when the first episode of that animated Uzumaki adaption dropped? And then how that second episode felt a week later? I still can’t believe that lol

@yFactr @hieywieyneue Kowloon Walled Garden

@hieywieyneue This is actually great if you add in subways rooftop gardens and passageway arches

the autistic part of me wants to live in this

@jbillinson Check out Bedjet

It seems like a great product but subscribing to my own bed is a red line I will not cross. Sleep as a Service is an evil business model.

@tszzl Didn't read the book tho

@tszzl Disagree it was a fun movie

project hail mary was unfortunately a middling adaptation of a good book. the script has the unfortunate affect of “language model populism” - where every single line has to be some sort of punched up comedic zinger yet still unremarkable. visuals were uninspired and trite and more or less identical to other space movies. everything good about the film comes from the wonderful world scaffolding of the book and the hard science fiction of it all that lets you suspend disbelief on the alien rocky the movie doesn’t really try to get into the xenolinguistic stuff even at the depth the book tries (someone called it “arrival for idiots” which unfortunately hit ) the thing that elevated the book is the commitment to a hard science fiction engineeringporn fiction at a level nobody else is able to write. the direction of the movie doesn’t really convey the same feeling successfully, and you’re left with flat characters, an alien that is more human than several humans i know, and a marvel populism gosling and the german woman are great as actors, but this movie will not be remembered in a year. it is disappointing to see people do so little with a quarter billion, insane acting talent, and incredible source IP

@haruhiprophet You want Miniso

i went to daiso expecting anime figures or stuff and the entire store was just thing, japan

@BadFilmTakes1 Casino is more rewatchable to me

I'll probably rewatch Goodfellas at least 20 more times before I die. I'll probably never watch Taxi Driver again, because it's such a disturbing movie. They are both equally brilliant, but the delights of Goodfellas are just too intoxicating. I'd choose that one.
