Late in the movie, they have linked up Discovery and Leonov. Discovery has used up its fuel and Leonov lets it go. Then they fire up the Leonov. First she counts down to ‘blast off’, then a few moments later as they’re still accelerating, she says blurts out something in Russian (I presume). What is it? ---

What is it? “Should I get my tits out now?” I mean, It is Helen Mirren and up until that point in the movie I believe they had remained fully covered. ---

Yeah, at about 0:15. ---

The DVD captioning has it. She’s saying “**[SHOUTING RUSSIAN]**.” Glad to help. :smack: ---

My Russian isn’t great, but it’s definitely something to do with давление (pressure). Keeping in mind that Helen Mirren–while of Russian descent–doesn’t actually speak the language in real life, I think I’m hearing “Не давай ты давления, опасны на то давление” or “Don’t give it any [more] pressure. That pressure [level] is dangerous.” Again, I’m no expert, but I don’t think that’s perfect Russian. ---

> [@Turek](#): > > Maybe she was shouting “Shouting Russian” in Russian. Now THAT would have been meta. I just wonder if any movie composer ever wrote a piece and titled it _The Non-Diegetic Background Tune._ ---

Wasn’t part of the closing credits music for Doctor Strange “Movie Closing Credits Music” – or something similar? ---

> [@Trinopus](#): > > Wasn’t part of the closing credits music for Doctor Strange “Movie Closing Credits Music” – or something similar? The soundtrack list ends with “The Master of the Mystic End Credits”, if that’s what you mean. The second-to-last entry is “Go For Baroque”, which amuses me a little, and there are other minor-joke titles sprinkled throughout. ---

Michael Giacchino is pretty shameless that way. Titles of tracks on the \*Star Trek \*soundtrack have names like ‘Enterprising Young Men’ and ‘Does It Still McFly’. ---

Something wonderful. That joke occurred to me right away when I saw the thread title, but I got distracted and it slipped my mind. ---

I thought the novel might have a clue, but I should have remembered/guessed that the boost sequence was far less dramatic there, all of 1/10G acceleration. The big worry is whether HAL will fire on time and whether the carbon-fiber bands holding the ships together will cut automatically or not. They seem to have jazzed it up a little on screen. How odd.
