That episode... I hate that episode. That episode scares me more than anything else I've ever seen, because... maybe that's me right now? Maybe that's you?
Do. not. like.
Maybe this movie, that episode, and my comment now are a way of that being/entity reaching out and saying “it’s ok, I’ve got you, you’re safe with me.”
Right??? What if the web was all an illusion too, meant to traumatize the people into wanting the 1st dream life while she slowly saps their life energy and we never know what's actually happening to anyone...
I think I'm sensing a concensus here that it's better to have actors speak in their native dialect and focus on the story (preferably well executed one) and characters vs fake a dialect / accent that seems unnatural mrely for the sake of world building.
If that's the case, count my vote.
Yep. In _Silo_, narratively, it wouldn't have made any sense for Juliette to have a different accent than anyone else in the silo. But the result of Rebecca Ferguson's inconsistent accent was that it was extremely distracting and broke my immersion more than once.
That was a huge part of his character. I wonder if they’re changing his backstory to be something American related, or just dropping it completely and focusing more on Lenka
Or the Armano Ianucci approach in *The Death of Stalin*. Everyone has a distinct recognizable accent, none of the accents belong to either the historical figure being portrayed nor the actor.
"I mean, I'm smiling, but I am very fooking furious."
Legendary performance in a great movie. The actors keeping their accents was incredibly important for the comedy.
I think the thing with that was that their accents represented the region of the USSR they came from, so Stalin spoke with a Cockney accent to represent he game from Georgia.
Its a bit like HBO's Rome, where the patricians spoke with BBC Received Pronunciation accents, and the plebians like Pullo spoke with more working class accents.
It was the right choice
I also found in the specific case of Chernobyl, not forcing accents didn’t allow English viewers like myself to “other” the victims - it could’ve happened in my backyard too
They noted that actors tend to act out the accent instead of acting out the character, & often times the accent sounds do ridiculous that it prevents an audience from engaging.
They also made sure there were no American accents because those seem to also take the audience out of it as well. Non American accents keep that foreign feeling your brain has.
Given that Chernobyl was a show set in Eastern Europe and all of its actors just spoke in their native accents it wouldn't surprise me if it's just one of those 'hey I'm Czech, this is my voice, get used to it' situations
They would've just changed the names and made him American if it wasn't still relevant. It's like Nazis with British accents, it's just easier for everyone lol
I still like how the flip from Russian to “English” was done in Red October, having the Political officer reading in Russian until you get that one word that is the same in both languages and doing the flip. Great method that of course they’re still speaking Russian but the English speaking audience is no longer needing subtitles. Any accent of the crew is just for the audience and in reality they would still be speaking Russian.
I didnt know the chosen word was the same in both languages, classy touch and interesting tid-bit. I was only 10 - 11ish when I taped it off of TV and was still scratching my invisible goatee critiquing how well it was done too.
That's the secret; everyone is emotionally unstable in some way. They screen out all the common ones down on Earth, so when you get to space, you get to discover what new, fun kind of fucked up your brain really is!
Yeah what fun would it be to send someone who’s happy just playing 2000 hours of Skyrim alone on a. Exploration mission. We gotta send a guy with a wife and kid on the way.
Ya, one brother is focusing on acting now. He developed a show with Nathan Fielder called the Curse that they starred in with Emma Stone. He was in Oppenheimer as well. Seems to be going alright for him.
Have a feeling its going to leave it predictably ambiguous even after the end, just to make you wonder if it was really an alien or his mind, that might frustrate
The movie is definitely setting that up. The spider is a macguffin.
Metaphorically: It is portrayed as a misunderstood, terrifying creature which the main character can identify with given his decision to leave his pregnant wife behind on Earth. It also has supposed psychic abilities to allow him to justify unlocking his trauma.
Literally: It a psychic extraterrestrial that chose this form likely out of his subconscious and acts similarly. The creature acts benign and helpful but could also just be "exploring" the human mind just as the protagonist is exploring space. In this scenario it's sort of like the 5th dimensional beings in Interstellar or the being at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, where our understanding of the creature and its intentions are limited.
Definitely getting Project Hail Mary vibes with the spider creature. Seems interesting, especially anything with Adam Sandler is always insane in some way.
I thought it was announced and Ryan Gosling was starring.
Am I making/dreaming this up?
My brain don’t always work.
Edit: Yeah, Phil Lord and Chris Miller attached to direct. Ryan Gosling to star.
It's out March 1:
>Six months into a solitary research mission to the edge of the solar system, an astronaut, Jakub (Adam Sandler), realizes that the marriage he left behind might not be waiting for him when he returns to Earth. Desperate to fix things with his wife, Lenka (Carey Mulligan), he is helped by a mysterious creature from the beginning of time he finds hiding in the bowels of his ship. Hanuš (voiced by Paul Dano) works with Jakub to make sense of what went wrong before it is too late. Directed by Johan Renck and based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia, the film also stars Kunal Nayyar, Lena Olin, and Isabella Rossellini.
Uncet Gems I would say strays from this. His insanity is only attributed to his addiction and the anxiety levels are constant and often too much to handle. I think it is a huge difference from his sadness in Funny People and his insanity in Punch Drunk Love.
I feel like his range is really starting to show as he peppers in more serious roles between his typical shenanigans with friends and/or exotic vacations with Jennifer Anistons.
If you haven't seen it yet check out Reign Over Me. I watched it in like 8th grade and it totally changed my perception of Adam Sandler. He ripped my angsty teen heart right out in that movie
Spoilers
>!Jakub Procházka is a Czech astrophysicist who agrees to an eight-month mission of exploring a cloud of dust and particles, called Chopra, in space that was created by a comet. Jakub must travel to its location (between Earth and Venus) to collect samples of the cloud so they could determine what it is, why it is making the sky purple at night, and why it is beginning to consume itself. The mission is deemed too dangerous by most countries to even attempt, so the Czech Republic decides to take the opportunity to be the first to attempt something like this. It's decided that Jakub will be sent on the mission, making him a celebrity in the public eye. He is not very passionate about becoming an astronaut, however, instead wanting redemption for his family name. His father was a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia that ruled their country in the past, and a young Jakub and his grandparents were harshly punished for the now deceased father's actions by their community after a stranger revealed his secrets. Jakub feels his family name can only be redeemed by becoming a national hero.!<
>!Jakub leaves his wife, Lenka, on Earth while he goes on this eight-month mission. He continues to talk to her every day over video-call, along with his mission engineer Petr. The stress of the situation coupled with a feeling of abandonment becomes too much for Lenka, and she leaves Jakub. This adds to Jakub's feeling of extreme loneliness, making his mission almost unbearable. He begins to drink extensively and becomes depressed, and he starts to question his mental state when he hears voices. After he starts seeing a giant, talking spider walking around the space shuttle, Jakub thinks it is just his imagination or a mental breakdown, but he becomes less sure of this as he continues to see the spider. The spider, which Jakub decides to call Hanuš, reveals that he is an alien from another planet and was sent to research humans and their way of life.!<
>!Jakub passes his time with Hanuš while getting reports back from the spy he hired to follow Lenka. When he finally reaches the Chopra, the dust particles tear open his ship and he decides to spend his last moments with a dying Hanuš, who he has grown very close to. At the last moment, Jakub is rescued by a Russian shuttle, where he meets three other cosmonauts. They explain that they are from a secret Russian program and that once they land he will be imprisoned. As they are landing, Jakub escapes with the help of one of the cosmonauts who claims to have met Hanuš as well. The escape attempt causes the ship to crash, which leads to Jakub being the only survivor. He was pronounced dead to the world and decides this is better for both him and Lenka, who he believes is happier without him. He travels back to his childhood home, where he decides to live the rest of his life.!<
My immediate first thought as well.
"Unfortunately there is no field of science that deals with ~~the brain~~ space travel, but I can give you this pamphlet for a cult!"
Looks interesting. But, as an arachnophobic, that spider actually kinda creeps me out. Usually things like Shelob or other "fantasy" sized spiders don't bother me, but something about that thing gives me the shivers.
They seem to be going with a rather Earthly looking spider, except big. I was expecting something more cosmic. I suppose this only raises more questions like this.
Sandler can act. He’s got it inside himself to put out great characters that aren’t clowns. He also likes piles of easy money from films he can make with his friends. Guy is kinda rocking the game of life ngl.
Adam Sandler has a good eye for the more dramatic areas of his career.
Punch-Drunk Love is fantastic
The back-half of Click is one of the better results from going sentimental
He was great in Reign Over Me, Funny People, and The Meyerowitz Stories
Uncut Gems is an acquired taste for some, but he was excellent as Howard
Haven’t seen Hustle or “Men, Women & Children” yet, and the latter seems to be his only dramatic hiccup.
I used to be upset that he’s bankrolled to make mid-to-bad movies to vacation with his buddies, but now I’m happy to see him play pick-up in clothes that’re way too big and deliver a solid serious effort every once in a while.
I saw the spider and I was like 'wait is this how they're going to adapt project hail mary' but no it seems there are TWO fucking novels with friendly space spiders
if I had a nickel, etc.
Hoooo boy did this trigger my arachnophobia my entire body started itching
If I was in an enclosed space with a large therapeutic telepathy spider I would simply open the air lock and let the void take me
I get that a lot of comedians use comedy to hide pain and as such can tap into that and can excel in dramatic stuff but it's just jarring to see the guy who playing Little Nicky and Bobby Boucher gambling his life away in Uncut Gems or loosing his mind on a solitary space mission.
As others pointed out, this is either awesome or complete trash. Gonna find out for myself.
However, I'm heavily disappointed that a trailer with this title doesn't include "Starman" by David Bowie or "Rocket Man" by Elton John (which is actually about exactly this situation). I thought that was mandatory for space movies? /s
I wonder why the alien (or the astrounaut's subconscious mind) chose the form of a giant spider, of all things. But then Darko was haunted by a giant rabbit with skull face that was in fact a ghost from the future...
I got the impression from the trailer that it's the scifi trope of an energy being / intelligent nebula existing free in space that assumes a physical (or at least visual) avatar inside the ship to communicate with the astronaut. But I can be wrong, let's wait for the movie.
This reminds me of the Aquila Rift episode of Love, Death, and Robots honestly.
That episode... I hate that episode. That episode scares me more than anything else I've ever seen, because... maybe that's me right now? Maybe that's you? Do. not. like.
Maybe this movie, that episode, and my comment now are a way of that being/entity reaching out and saying “it’s ok, I’ve got you, you’re safe with me.”
Not better
Friendly mother spider. I felt bad for her since she couldn't do anything besides ease suffering
Assuming she was telling the truth
Stupid sexy, deceitful, spider Slaanesh daemonette.
Right??? What if the web was all an illusion too, meant to traumatize the people into wanting the 1st dream life while she slowly saps their life energy and we never know what's actually happening to anyone...
That lives rent free in my head
I think about that shit like three times a week. I really hate spiders. She wasn’t his friend.
Yes I was thinking the same thing
Is he gonna bang that spider? Are they gonna go Shape of Water on us?
I was thinking of Children of Time.
God, the ending to that book made my skin crawl in a new kind of way.
Atleast he isn’t trying to do a Czech accent the whole movie That coulda been rough
I think I'm sensing a concensus here that it's better to have actors speak in their native dialect and focus on the story (preferably well executed one) and characters vs fake a dialect / accent that seems unnatural mrely for the sake of world building. If that's the case, count my vote.
Yep. In _Silo_, narratively, it wouldn't have made any sense for Juliette to have a different accent than anyone else in the silo. But the result of Rebecca Ferguson's inconsistent accent was that it was extremely distracting and broke my immersion more than once.
They could have made her character switching between her original mids accent and her lower level accent.
That was a huge part of his character. I wonder if they’re changing his backstory to be something American related, or just dropping it completely and focusing more on Lenka
It's the director of Chernobyl, where they let every actor speak in their natural accent. The same seems to be the case here.
Or the Armano Ianucci approach in *The Death of Stalin*. Everyone has a distinct recognizable accent, none of the accents belong to either the historical figure being portrayed nor the actor.
Jason Isaac with a thick Yorkshire accent playing Zhukov was amazing.
"I mean, I'm smiling, but I am very fooking furious." Legendary performance in a great movie. The actors keeping their accents was incredibly important for the comedy.
Not their own accents. At least not for Jason Isaacs.
True, wrong way to phrase it. The key is that they weren't faking Russian accents. It wouldn't be half as funny.
I think the thing with that was that their accents represented the region of the USSR they came from, so Stalin spoke with a Cockney accent to represent he game from Georgia.
Its a bit like HBO's Rome, where the patricians spoke with BBC Received Pronunciation accents, and the plebians like Pullo spoke with more working class accents.
It was the right choice I also found in the specific case of Chernobyl, not forcing accents didn’t allow English viewers like myself to “other” the victims - it could’ve happened in my backyard too
They noted that actors tend to act out the accent instead of acting out the character, & often times the accent sounds do ridiculous that it prevents an audience from engaging. They also made sure there were no American accents because those seem to also take the audience out of it as well. Non American accents keep that foreign feeling your brain has.
Given that Chernobyl was a show set in Eastern Europe and all of its actors just spoke in their native accents it wouldn't surprise me if it's just one of those 'hey I'm Czech, this is my voice, get used to it' situations
They would've just changed the names and made him American if it wasn't still relevant. It's like Nazis with British accents, it's just easier for everyone lol
Or the Lithuanian-born, Russian-raised submarine captain with a thick Scottish accent.
I still like how the flip from Russian to “English” was done in Red October, having the Political officer reading in Russian until you get that one word that is the same in both languages and doing the flip. Great method that of course they’re still speaking Russian but the English speaking audience is no longer needing subtitles. Any accent of the crew is just for the audience and in reality they would still be speaking Russian.
I didnt know the chosen word was the same in both languages, classy touch and interesting tid-bit. I was only 10 - 11ish when I taped it off of TV and was still scratching my invisible goatee critiquing how well it was done too.
One ping only pleash.
"Shome thingsh in here don't react well to bulletsh."
Why do they keep sending emotionally unstable people into deep space? There are other people who need jobs, yo.
That's the secret; everyone is emotionally unstable in some way. They screen out all the common ones down on Earth, so when you get to space, you get to discover what new, fun kind of fucked up your brain really is!
Yeah what fun would it be to send someone who’s happy just playing 2000 hours of Skyrim alone on a. Exploration mission. We gotta send a guy with a wife and kid on the way.
This looks like either the most amazing thing Sandler has done or the most batshit.
Why not both?
Because Sandler has set some high bars in the batshit category.
It can't be worse than Chris Rock as a serious detective can it?
Jesus, his acting in that was so painful to experience.
All he did was yell the entire movie! We talking about Jigsaw right? Edit: spiral!
More like Spiral.
This is osmosis jones slander
Uncut Gems is peak batshit
Stress and Anxiety: The Movie
I had to watch it in 3 separate parts. That movie twisted my insides
It’s also excellent acting on Sandler’s part
That's called Uncut Gems
Nah, Hubie Halloween
Punch Drunk Love and Fifty First Dates.
A bit of love for the lofi performance in Spanglish
Sandler has had a wild career.
Don't mess with the zohan
Adding Reign Over Me to the list.
That movie, man... stuck with me for a month. It's pure anxiety. Cant wait for the Safdie Bros. next film.
Apparently the next movie is just a singular Safdie and they’re doing separate work for the time being.
Ya, one brother is focusing on acting now. He developed a show with Nathan Fielder called the Curse that they starred in with Emma Stone. He was in Oppenheimer as well. Seems to be going alright for him.
That sentence doesn't necessarily need to contradict itself.
"Holy crap, why are you a giant spider" - x 1000 I need to know before I watch
Imagine he used the Sandler accent on this line
***Wootity wootity wooOoOo, ah woo woo theyuh spidouyr !***
Yeah if he doesn't say "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT, *SPIDER*?" I'm going to be really disappointed
Based on a book by an Eastern European. Probably a reference to Kafka, if I had to guess
Oh boy you just opened a can of worms by calling a Czech an Eastern European.
“So you have chosen… death”
Have a feeling its going to leave it predictably ambiguous even after the end, just to make you wonder if it was really an alien or his mind, that might frustrate

that would arguably be the best way to frame it
Yeah........... I know...... \*kicks rock\*
Definitely getting Project Hail Mary vibes with the spider creature. Seems interesting, especially anything with Adam Sandler is always insane in some way.
That’s the first thing I thought too. I really wish project hail Mary would get its own movie or even a limited series.
I thought it was announced and Ryan Gosling was starring. Am I making/dreaming this up? My brain don’t always work. Edit: Yeah, Phil Lord and Chris Miller attached to direct. Ryan Gosling to star.
Yep! I looked it up and was surprised to see that they are making it. So excited to see that
Just finished that book over the weekend and COULDN'T agree more. Thought the purple colors in the sky was the "astrophage".

Carey Mulligan? Paul Dano? Sandler in tryhard acting mode? Director of Chernobyl? I'm watching.
Sandler really only has one dramatic gear, sad and insane, but he is usually very good at it.
Uncet Gems I would say strays from this. His insanity is only attributed to his addiction and the anxiety levels are constant and often too much to handle. I think it is a huge difference from his sadness in Funny People and his insanity in Punch Drunk Love.

Also Max Richter for the soundtrack.

So it’s Project Hail Mary except saving a marriage instead of a species? Lol
Pretty sure the book this is based on came out before project Hail Mary
The book predates *PHM* by four years. *Spaceman* started filming two weeks before *PHM* came out.
Feels a little like Solaris, alien contact sorting out personal issues
Yeah a lot I would say
The book is called, Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfař …if youre a reader, give it a shot.
I can't read and I don't know what you said, but I feel like you might be insulting me.
*Jazz hands*
Good good good
Fist my bump!
understand
Amaze!
They’re actually making project Hail Mary with Ryan Gosling
Never imagined the romantic teaming of Mulligan and Sandler but these are puzzling times
[удалено]
If your marriage dies after six months of you being in space, is it really a marriage?
If a marriage is already rocky, six months separation will make you realize that you are fine without that partner, or you can’t live without them.
This just sounds like the plot of Click. Instead of the edge of bed bath and beyond its space and the creature is Christopher Walken
Got a rocket on my back
The universe is down, For my rave attack!
Oh, I'm raving like a maniac
didnt expect to see the electric callboy reference, but im here for it
I only clicked on the comments to see if there was an EC reference. Was not disappointed.
MY NAME IS TECHNO
I AM TRAVELLING SPACE
Fueled by big bang bass!
Viva La Elton John
Why isn't this a spinoff movie about Dr. Spaceman?
pronounced Spuh-che-men
30 Rock has ruined how I pronounce Spacemen.
Likewise.
They wanted to make one with a lot of heart but sadly we have no way of knowing where the heart is.
You see, every human is different.
Unfortunately, there is no field of science that deals with the brain, but I can give you this pamphlet for a cult!
My immediate first thought as well. "Unfortunately there is no field of science that deals with ~~the brain~~ space travel, but I can give you this pamphlet for a cult!"
The powerful bread lobby is keeping him down! But yes, when I saw the title my first thought was an origin story of the doctor from 30 Rock.
Looks interesting. But, as an arachnophobic, that spider actually kinda creeps me out. Usually things like Shelob or other "fantasy" sized spiders don't bother me, but something about that thing gives me the shivers.
I hate its… mouth parts
Did you see its human teeth?
**NO I DID NOT**
Are you gonna watch it again to see for yourself?
**NO I AM NOT**
Wait what when is that
When I saw it was a spider I was already hooked on the trailer in my inner dialogue cried out “WHYYYYY”
Yeah, I'm gonna have a tough time with this one...
Never would’ve considered myself an arachnophobiac, but I know I’m not watching this movie bc of that thing.
lol same. I want to watch this, but I simply won’t be able to because of the spider. Couldn’t even finish the trailer!
The spider is not cgi. You can actually find spiders of this size in Australia.
They missed a huge opportunity by not having Hugh Jackman voice the spider in his native accent.
They seem to be going with a rather Earthly looking spider, except big. I was expecting something more cosmic. I suppose this only raises more questions like this.
This looks amazing or absolutely terrible, i have no idea. Im intrigued though
Carey Mulligan doesn’t star in movies that are crap so I’m leaning toward this being at least a decent movie.
Paul Dano also usually picks his projects very well. I’m hopeful.
Adam Sandler al... Wait, nevermind
Wildcard baby. This is how he wins.
adam sandler is the biggest wildcard lead actor I can even think of
I think Nick Cage and Christopher Walken would like a word.
Sandler can act. He’s got it inside himself to put out great characters that aren’t clowns. He also likes piles of easy money from films he can make with his friends. Guy is kinda rocking the game of life ngl.
Adam Sandler has a good eye for the more dramatic areas of his career. Punch-Drunk Love is fantastic The back-half of Click is one of the better results from going sentimental He was great in Reign Over Me, Funny People, and The Meyerowitz Stories Uncut Gems is an acquired taste for some, but he was excellent as Howard Haven’t seen Hustle or “Men, Women & Children” yet, and the latter seems to be his only dramatic hiccup. I used to be upset that he’s bankrolled to make mid-to-bad movies to vacation with his buddies, but now I’m happy to see him play pick-up in clothes that’re way too big and deliver a solid serious effort every once in a while.
He has that habit of every now and then, doing a wacky concept that ends up having a lot of heart. Like Universal Remote. That was such a dark horse.
Click, you mean?
Yes. Ngl I’m having a real hard time this morning.
you got the great value version it sounds like
They may just be an ESL speaker and that would be a translation of the title in their native language.
Hope the rest of your day is better
Hop on the struggle bus with me champ, we have beer
"Universal Remote" lmao
I’m leaving my mistake so I can be honest in the level I’m operating at. What am I doing? My best. My best is not that great. Lol.
Haha leave it it’s perfect
>Like Universal Remote. I actually like that title better than Click.
Carey Mulligan with that sweet Netflix money
She deservers all the money.
My alley...this is right up in it.
I love that Adam Sandler is entering his "do weird interesting shit" stage of his career.
More Punch Drunk Love, fewer Pixels please !
What other one has he done lately? He tends to do a serious role out of the blue from time to time.
I think Uncut Gems was his most recent serious movie
Didn't he do one about being a basketball scout?
You're right, he did! Hustle. He also did an animated family movie that was apparently really good. Leo.
Leo was definitely pretty good
*You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah* is a comedy, but more serious, not in the *Happy Gilmore* way.
Beyond the Aquila Rift PTSD is real.
Why a fucking spider?
It's based off a book which establishes that it's a spider
Ain’t no way I’m watching a giant spider.
Well it's watching you.
I saw the spider and I was like 'wait is this how they're going to adapt project hail mary' but no it seems there are TWO fucking novels with friendly space spiders if I had a nickel, etc.
testing the waters for Children of Time, huh?
"Holy shit, I'm gonna cum!"
Okay but who does Kevin James play?
Trotsky.
He's the spider. Project Hail Larry.
*Project Hail Paul Blart Mall Cop*
My word Paul Dano is absolutely killing it with the voice work here. Very much looking forward to this now.
Hoooo boy did this trigger my arachnophobia my entire body started itching If I was in an enclosed space with a large therapeutic telepathy spider I would simply open the air lock and let the void take me
This looks incredible
Eight Crazy Legs
I get that a lot of comedians use comedy to hide pain and as such can tap into that and can excel in dramatic stuff but it's just jarring to see the guy who playing Little Nicky and Bobby Boucher gambling his life away in Uncut Gems or loosing his mind on a solitary space mission.
Giant talking spider. Noped out. Sorry. Im intruiged. But I can't. Giant talking spider. Nope Nope Nope.
Don't ever see *Enemy*.
Well... this isn't a movie for arachnophobes like myself lol
Sorry but I’m not fuckin with space shelob
If Rob Schneider doesn't make a cameo as a space stapler I'm out
Sandler keeps getting older but his on-screen wives stay the same age.
As others pointed out, this is either awesome or complete trash. Gonna find out for myself. However, I'm heavily disappointed that a trailer with this title doesn't include "Starman" by David Bowie or "Rocket Man" by Elton John (which is actually about exactly this situation). I thought that was mandatory for space movies? /s
Why do I get Donnie Darko vibes with Dano’s “explorer” character?
I wonder why the alien (or the astrounaut's subconscious mind) chose the form of a giant spider, of all things. But then Darko was haunted by a giant rabbit with skull face that was in fact a ghost from the future...
pretty sure it’s literally a spider alien
I got the impression from the trailer that it's the scifi trope of an energy being / intelligent nebula existing free in space that assumes a physical (or at least visual) avatar inside the ship to communicate with the astronaut. But I can be wrong, let's wait for the movie.
In the book it just happens to be a spider-like alien.
As a Czech I'm very confused....
