🍿 Watched Project Hail Mary yesterday as planned. The whole room clapped at the end, which is a thing we’re doing now, I guess. This was a very fun Thing To Do over the past few weeks — reading and sharing the book before the movie — and we’re a little sad it’s over. I would give the movie a Met Expectations grade. To @jabel ‘s credit, I don’t think the movie itself matched the hype, not without the book. I laughed a lot, and enjoyed it a lot, but always because it recalled that moment or that line or that characteristic in the book. (There were some minor changes and truncations, and one or two big ones.) Still, though I don’t usually like mixing movies with books, this was well worth it. A friend of mine used to wear a t-shirt that just said “I’m good clean family fun.” Put that 5-star endorsement on the cover.
