Axe

Yeah, the old baby making machine. Been gathering dust for a while now but you never know when you might need one. You hope you won’t, but you never know.

Basically my uterus is an old unused tool in my dad shed that I refuse to get rid of

Right after I posted this I got an ad for becoming a surrogate. Don’t think you can get me to use the old guy that easily, advertisements.

your weird obsession with having a fully formed white picket fence found family who all speak like they've inhaled their therapist who you subconsciously want to be adopted into is ruining your ability to interact with the source material

You ever think that in the middle of an argument, Grace once reminded Rocky that from a physics point of view, gas is considered a fluid, so whenever he cycles ammonia through his vents, Rocky is technically leaking fluids everywhere, and how close do you think Rocky was to threatening to kill them both

Project Hail Mary is a fantastic example of how filmmakers can create a faithful adaptation and still take artistic liberties. The writers didn't try to copy the book to a tee, and added their own elements (the mental health room, the astrophage transition, the beach scene on erid, Grace's wardrobe etc). They understood that a film is a different artistic medium than a book and tried to write the story in a way that best suited that medium, all while staying loyal to the original story and themes.

AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

This is such an abstract type of comedy I don’t even know how to handle it

What doesn’t get talked about enough is that, all those 40-something years, Rocky had all the supplies he needed to go back home. He had the fuel, he had the food. But he didn’t. He tried and tried and tried. He kept going. He took measurements, gathered data, built new Astrophage samplers but could never get it right. He maintained the Blip-A, a ship that was built in a hurry and just kept breaking, for over FORTY YEARS. When Grace found him, Rocky wasn’t just sitting idle in orbit. He was still working, still trying, he hadn’t given up. He was tracking the stars, probably to watch for a potential second mission from Erid, when he spotted the Hail Mary in reverse-thrust. Rocky calls Grace brave. Truly, Grace is. But I’d compare Rocky more to Stratt. How much of yourself would you be willing to sacrifice to save your planet? Rocky was willing to stay at Tau Ceti for the rest of his life until he either found a solution, or died.
