On the set of Stargate SG-1 it was an in-joke that Martin Wood (director) and Dan Shea (stunt coordinator) would often walk around with oversized wrenches in the background appearing to do work. In the season 5 episode "Red Sky" they both appear.

Since I'm aware of this now, I keep noticing them in new places on every rewatch!

Film: Project Hail Mary [2026] - Ryan Gosling, Milana Vayntrub, James Ortiz - News and Reviews - PeachZ Reviews

Project Hail Mary mixes sci-fi and comedy in a perfect mix. Yes, the film is over 2 hours, but they're very well used.

Is #ThePhantomTollbooth good? I've never read it. At least I don't think I have. Is it a fun read? #books #KidsLit #SciFi?

The Phantom Tollbooth
A man with white hair stands nose to nose with a HUGE brown dog. The do looks annoyed. A watch is on the dog. I can't tell if it is a part of the dog, sewn onto the dog, or just resting beside him. I suspect it's part of his body.

Project Hail Mary (2026)

Project Hail Mary is one of one a few movies in which I prefer the film adaptation over the book that it is based on. Drew Goddard does a wonderful job of streamlining Andy Weir's already fantastic story. Goddard keeps Weir's story intact, but puts more emphasis on the relationship between Grace and Rocky while simplifying the science of the book. The Grace and Rocky relationship is better in the movie.

Project Hail Mary is a feast for the eyes, this is a beautiful film and there are genuine scenes of wonder in the movie that had me with my jaw dropped.

Ryan Gosling is perfectly cast in the role of Ryland Grace -- he is one of a few actors that can pull off drama and comedy perfectly. I cannot imagine anyone else in this role.

Directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, find the perfect balance in the tones of the movie. They movie smoothly between drama, comedy and action.

Project Hail Mary is a movie is about redemption, sacrifice and friendship. I highly recommend Project Hail Mary.

Grace Rocky awesome. Fist the bump.

I like the ending of the movie better, it is almost the same as the book but a bit more hopeful.

Rated 10 out of 10.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
