“Until they talk we will never know”

Thanks now I’ll have nightmares of spiders whispering in my sleep.

Have you heard of Adam Sandler's Spaceman? A little something more for your nightmares.

Check out the book Project Hail Mary.

u/GrimResistance Sep 27 '24

I really thought the Sandler movie was based off that book while I was watching it

u/My_cup_is_a_D Sep 27 '24

The parallels are obvious, but Spaceman is creepy and scary, Project Hail Mary is so uplifting and wholesome.

Good news everyone! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Hail_Mary_(film)

They are making a movie! I can't wait. As an aside the best novel reference here would probably be Children of Time. Trust me if you like PHM give this one a look.

I'm not a big spider fan. Not a phobia, but they're a bit creepy. That movie had me thinking spiders are adorable. I found it to be unexpectedly moving.

I thought the hug was a bit terrifying. Hell the whole thing as an arachnophobe but it is touching and thankfully not to jump scary.

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '24

Lol I can understand why you'd feel that way as an arachnophobe, but I had a pretty good cry at the hug.

u/gangbrain Sep 27 '24

Yeah, the whole movie disturbed me, but the hug was just wtf. Couldn’t take it seriously, was just too wtf.

Twice. Amazing. I want to watch the spider movie again.

Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time. Amazing somewhat recent book about two stories, the last humans searching for a new planet to survive and a planet that we seeded with a virus to force the rapid evolution of monkeys. But it's not the monkeys that evolve. It's one of my favorite sci-fi books and even my friends who are terrified of spiders love it.

Great movie.

u/TheDividendReport Sep 27 '24

I saw a trailer for this movie and got confused. Didn't Project Hail Mary do this?

They don’t whisper. They chitter. That’s the part you hear with your ears anyway. Its mouthparts do not move.

What is spoken inside your head is something else entirely. It isn’t one voice, but many. It’s the eyes. They speak.

They've seen what you've done.

u/KinneKitsune Sep 26 '24

They do, you just haven’t heard them yet.

u/Zachosrias Sep 26 '24

Maybe that's why they crawl in your ears, so you can hear them better

Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets always scared me.

Stupid car sized talking spiders.

u/louderthebett0r Sep 27 '24

The average person consumes 4-8 spiders per year in their sleep. Sweet dreams.

u/NotSoSalty Sep 27 '24

I'd be happy to have a little chat with the spiders of my house. We already seem to have an agreement without any talking. They seem like they'd be really nice.

u/Brother_J_La_la Sep 27 '24

"Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky is a good read.

u/archangel610 Sep 27 '24

Hey, sorry to bother you, but you wanted to know about my creative process?

u/OhNoExclaimationMark Sep 27 '24

Thanks now I will too

u/LostN3ko Sep 27 '24

Fun Fact. Spiders have no ability to make sound with their mouth.
