…I’m excited for this film, but so scared that it will be another enshitified movie of a great book with the story twisted and warped by producers and other interests.
Like Ready Player One turned out to be; utter garbage.
Yep. Book wasted time with unnecessary callback lists, obscure shows, and a hero that was kindof a jerk. The movie was fun - not deep or anything, it didn’t waste time though.
I agree wholeheartedly. The book and movies are just vehicles for delivering nostalgic references, but while in the book 80% of those references were just listing off one thing after another, in the movie I could see and hear them, which makes it much better for that nostalgia.
Ready Player One the movie wouldn’t have been any better with him playing PacMan and Joust for hours or quoting Monty Python and War Games word-for-word.
Amaze!! Amaze!!

Ungh….
uh
Admittedly the book is waaaaay better than the movie. Neither are great though.
I actually like the movie. It made the best out of the book, which is meh at best.

Same worried they will fuck it up. But just saw The Life of Chuck and they did a decent job of sticking with the story.
