Rob McElhenney from Itâs Always Sunny changed his name or stage name to Rob Mac
Seated for Project Hail Mary. Letâs see what all the hype is about.

Hoppers (2026)
This is NOT a kids movie wtf. I would sooner show my child Sausage Party. Hoppers is full of rampant murder and manslaughter. And I mean it is GRUESOME.
Plenty of laughs and heartfelt moments. But would I show this to an eight year old? Absolutely not.

Not my cup of tea but hope itâs good. I hate the name.
Whatâs the youngest age kid you would be willing to show Beavatar to?
Honestly the characters (including the human) are such remorseless psychopaths that I would hesitate to show this to anyone under 18. At least in something like American Psycho or Funny Games, itâs mostly clear these are not good people. But Hoppers presents this community of psychopaths and the humanâs own sociopathy as aspirational and essential to a functional society.
Ah, a microcosm/allegory of the studio system

Alright. Iâll just do a free-form brain-dump.
Project Hail Mary (2026)
I havenât read this book. I honestly knew nothing except that it was a Gosling space movie that was getting raves. Oh, and also I knew that the spoiler babies were all up in arms about something that got shown in the trailer? I donât know; the trailer was on in my vicinity a lot, but I didnât really pay attention to it, so I wasnât sure whether I took in this spoiler or not. And now the answer is: I almost certainly didnât, because nothing that happened in the movie really felt familiar. But another answer is: I donât even fully know what it was they showed that would have been OMG life-ruining if I had seen it. I mean, I can hazard a guess, but all of that yammering had me thinking that whatever it was would be a much bigger deal. Anyway, Iâm now afraid to talk about anything in detail because I might trigger the Frank Costanza âSTILL, I LIKE TO GO IN FRESHâ reaction.
Anyway, itâs a good movie. As Gosling vehicles with bloated runtimes go, it comfortably beats The Fall Guy. As âwatch a star chew scenery by himselfâ space movies go, I probably preferred The Martian (and I think that movie is a little bit overrated too).
I gather from the reactions that others are going to rave much harder than I am. I enjoyed myself, there was more than enough to like to make it worth going.
3.5/5

The âfriendâ he meets a little bit into the movie, was never in promotional materials for the book
I figured that must have been it. AndâŚokay.
Jesus, the way people were talking about it, youâd think the trailer gave away the end of The Usual Suspects.

I loved working with Castulo. He was a very nice man.
Itâs one of the great literary twists in modern books. Itâs a big deal. Itâs universally regarded by book readers as a significant event in modern novels that led to its success.
Is the twist that thereâs an alien made of rocks or some other twist? If thereâs some other twist donât tell me what it is.
But if itâs the alien twist, Men in Black did it first.
Had these critics never read science fiction before? It is a bog standard first contact story. Itâs a great book and I really enjoyed it, but the unique bits in it werenât because of the alien.
Was that before Galaxy Quest?
