@ReaderJohn Hmm. Two cents warning… Certainly anyone can watch a movie and have opinions without reading the book. No problemo. But to, by all appearances, have not read the book on such a clear book-to-film adventure and get published? I wonder who edited, or failed to edit, Bruni’s review right out of the Times. I actually have a hard time seeing how they could have shortened it without losing/changing even more essential stuff from the book. And I’m entirely unaware of what multiple endings he’s talking about. Maybe he really just wanted an excuse to talk about Tom Cruise, but I half suspect that Bruni would like the option to watch movies at 1.5x, or to have AI remove all the “unnecessary” parts for him — you know, so he can keep all that time the movie editors are stealing from him 🤓

🍿 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...

Finished reading: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir 📚

I stalled reading Ross McCullough’s The Body of This Death over a month ago, mostly I’d say for reasons also mentioned by Mr. ReaderJohn — namely, its notebook aphorisms quality, which does not promote page turning. But the book does reward at random. It’s nothing if not interesting.
