Invisible Pretty Birdies Singing in the Dark

PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026) dir. Phil Lord & Christopher Miller

I noticed this right off at first viewing and the second time it was just a delight to watch again: Ryland Grace has this almost immediate effect on people: he causes them to loosen up and just play. People immediately love him and thaw around him. Of course his students love him. But also, Carl melts into someone who is willing to play bowling for foil in the aisle of a hardware store and buy about 50 packs of skittles. The PHM team goes from a team of hardnose professionals who just met a weirdo, to bantering back at him after only a minute or two. Stratt, too, is affected by the warmth of his sun. But tragically, she can't let herself get too close to him (or anyone on this project) because of the kinds of decisions she was hired to make. The movie did this REALLY well, by the way. You can see how heartbreaking it is for her throughout the whole piece.

one way trips

its one thing for grace to see the stars and rocky can't, its another thing for grace to see an explosion before feeling the shockwave

When Rocky, defeated, gives up and asks, Grace admits that he organized them by color, he says it is too explain better how color works to his students, associating certain frequencies or textures with certain colors, but the true is that Grace just wanted to organize his classrroom as a rainbow.

So here it is on its own.

i feel like they would get along SO well plus ms. frizzle could solve the petrova problem in one episode easy

More silly Rocky tries coffee for the first time sketches, since I wanted to draw some lil Eridians.
