Permanently Jetlagged

I was so baffled by how grace would dangle his glasses from his face in project hail mary (as a glasses-wearer) and yeah apparently rg just did that and by the time a real glasses-wearer said “hey man why the fuck are you doing that? no one does that” they’d filmed too many scenes of him doing that to take it out. cinema.

Project Hail Mary is wonderful bc it’s the kind of story that would normally be a sweeping romance - they were destined to find each other, they love each other to the point of saving their entire worlds - but its not a romance! Friendship can be the thing that propels you to save the world!

Shoutout to Project Hail Mary for being the only media where the unconscious protagonist is dragged off screen by an alien spider monster and the audience's reaction is heartbreak on behalf of the alien spider monster.

and the thing about both Project Hail Mary and The Martian is that both stories are grabbing you by the shoulders, looking you in the eyes, and from behind the fourth wall Andy Weir is smiling at you saying "you are never as alone, or as far gone, as you think you are"
