Project Hail Mary

[PersephoneSmith]

I was so looking forward to seeing the movie. Genuinely one of the best books I have ever read.
It was absolutely wonderful. I think I cried even more at the end than I did when I read it.
I think it will win best picture Oscar next year. And best actor for Ryan Gosling too.

The vintage knitting pattern for the cardigan has been released. i like knitting iconic cardigans so might attempt this, not sure who would wear it!

The Martian is one of my favorite films and PHM lived up to my expectations! Went with DH and DS 30 and his GF and none of them got the Adrian connection!

I had to explain the Adrian thing to my 10 year old. Don’t think most people under about 30 will have got the reference!

Yes had to explain to my sons who are in their 20s

Really glad I read the book first, really liked the film but I think it glossed over some things and added things which were unnecessary (totally out of character for Stratt to do karaoke!). I’ve never really thought about Ryan Gosling before but wow, he was brilliant. Had me sobbing during a certain emotional book which was less of a deal in the book, I think.

Looking forward to Artemis, which was a good read, but I hope Andy Weir NEVER has a female protagonist again, because he’s one of those male writers who simply cannot do it.

Oh I laughed out loud at that. Was just me dh and adult ds2 in the cinema so I could explain it to them. Dh hadn't got it 🙈

I hadn't much clue what it was going to be about. Ds2 is home on leave atm and said he fancied it. So we went as saved with the meerkat deal. I wouldn't have bothered otherwise. So glad we did as I loved it. I would go again.

Brilliant film.
