I wonder if I'm gonna cry in the theater?
I have a couple of small things to share today, including the source of my possible tears. One of my favorite books of all time is “The Hail Mary Project”, a sci-fi epic by the guy (Andy Weir) who wrote “The Martian” (one of my favorite movies of all time). They're making a movie version of “Hail Mary”, and while almost all cinematic editions of books don't match what you see in your mind while reading, the just released trailer for this one DOES--
I watched the trailer about a dozen times, and then read the comments underneath, and it appears that there is a VERY large community of people who feel the same way I do. I had no idea people had the same reaction to the book as did I, but I DO know that we're all holding our breath in hopes that the film matches our expectations and, indeed, does cause a few tears to be shed in the dark.
We'll find out in March, I guess.
Secondly, when shooting “High School Bowl” yesterday morning, one of the teams, Hurley, had special T-shirts made up with their names and their favorite numbers upon them. One of the players shares my last name and, I guess, he tried to see if he could get a little extra credit--
Remind me to write something about the kids on the show so far this season. It's been quite a unique journey so far.
Finally, yesterday was the drop of the latest “Pieces of the Past”. There are three things that shaped the way downtown Marquette looks. The first is the topography. The second was the Great Fire of 1868.
This week's video is all about the third.
