rose_griffes: young Luke and Leia from the original Star Wars trilogy (star wars ot: leia and luke)

Marvel's Eternals was alright. An entertaining film, some excellent visuals, and Kumail Nanjiani brought a fun energy to the middle section.

Author Andy Weir has name recognition from his blog project turned novel (turned movie) The Martian. His newest work is Project Hail Mary, which is also a first-person, er... thought experiment. Weir has improved as a writer; still a lot of rough spots, but this book has some real character depth and an interesting (and well-foreshadowed) surprise near the end.

Side note (and spoiler): cutting in case you care )

Lois McMaster Bujold talks a lot about retirement writing, which sounds a lot more fun than the full-time gig. I've read the first three of her Penric novellas, and feel quite self-righteous about helping to keep Bujold in funds. :)
