Watched Project Hail Mary last night, read the book last year. This is how you adapt a book into a movie. The changes were minor or they enhanced the story rather than trying to convert it into something it isn’t.
One day a few weeks ago, I changed the playback speed on youtube to 1.25, because the tutorial I was watching was filled with so much fluff. I forgot to change it back to 1.0.
Now I can't watch videos at normal speed.
Do we all speak so slow? Am I ADHD?
(Me to my son taking middle school Spanish)
Me: Do you know what Elvira* means in Spanish?
Son: No.
Me: It means “The Vira”.
Son: groans so hard that a blackhole forms.
*Elvira is the name of our cat.
Backrooms Sequel Idea:
A PA takes a wrong turn while grabbing a coffee order from the Commissary and ends up in the liminal space of endless sound stages, warehouses, and backdrops. She is pursued by a terrible force; is it Security or executives who greenlit flops?

I had a hard time with Alien Earth. My major issue is that so many things seem to contradict the movies.
When I just assumed this series had only a vague connection to the movie, I really enjoyed it. Like Romulus, its connection to the canon is its biggest problem.
One of the most difficult tasks for OBSESSION’s Curry Barker may have been raising the $750k budget to begin with. It is not an easy task to raise money for indie films.
If this was easy, I would have shot eight films in the past seven years instead of just three. Financiers who take a chance on indie films deserve every financial benefit they receive in success.
That success is not guaranteed at all. They are investing in an idea and a filmmaker. They take an enormous risk, so I’m happy they have the benefit of OBSESSION’s financial windfall.
Holy crap! Has anyone else watched this video about stolen Legos that involves corporate greed, legal theft, and alleged police corruption? Crazy.

I need some good news in my life. So maybe if I put some out into the world, I’ll get some back.
This morning I am officially 60 pounds lighter than this time last year. I still got a ways to go, but I’m getting there.
I just watched a playthrough of mixtape. I understand why people gave it 10s, but don’t agree. The soundtrack is fantastic. The vibes are alluring. The characters are meh. There is no gameplay. It is a well done visual novel, though.
@monsterhunter45 "A Crown of Wolves and Roses was wonderful, but Larry lost the plot in The Loins of El've'ns'mo'oor. You just have to push through this one. It's worth it, because Smut Throne is *chef's kiss* Also, you'll want to read this when you're alone, *wink, wink*"

All Through the Night by Cyndi Lauper is woefully underrated. This song randomly came on a music feed and I was instantly transported to a time I only vaguely experienced, but knew perfectly.
