60 of 244 · most liked firstthere's a moment early in the film of Ready Player One, where the voiceover says, "the only limit was your imagination", as the screen fills with pre-existing characters & IPs. It would one of the most on the nose satires of modern culture if not for the fact that it's meant entirely without irony
negative · AI labelView post →I’m not usually “that guy,” but I just had two unfollow these film nerds on IG who were ranking Top 10 Spielberg movies, and they ranked “Ready Player One” over “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” I don’t even hate RPO, but that opinion means I don’t trust anything you say ever again. GTFO of my house.
neutral · AI labelView post →(Before you hate on Ready Player One, know that a) Ernie's my pal and I dug the book so I can't pretend to be objective about it, b) I LIKE THE MOVIE IT'S ENTERTAINING AS FUCK SO THERE, c) in many ways it's the Spielbergiest of all known films in the universe, search your heart, you know it's true)
positive · AI labelView post →The time I made a Lynx OC because there was a furry in the Ready Player One movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Damn. This is all @rincewind.run's fault but I'm Bitch Eating Crackers mad at READY PLAYER ONE all over again. This means, as a Friday treat, I am going to import my Delta Movie File thread from 2019 over here. You're welcome/I'm sorry in advance.
negative · AI labelView post →I wrote about READY PLAYER ONE, a genuine desecration of the joys of reading, film, and video games, and a profoundly sad and pitiful vision of the world. www.patreon.com/posts/980139...
negative · AI labelView post →Ready Player One is slop and an insult to film as a medium. I wrote about it here. www.patreon.com/posts/98013988
negative · AI labelView post →I’m 20 minutes into watching the Ready Player One movie for Adaptation Decay and I already feel dead inside. The idea of an entire world frozen in place by one very powerful person’s pop culture obsessions is so goddamn bleak.
negative · AI labelView post →He’s exactly like that shitty bad guy from Ready Player One, only dumber, weirder looking, and racist. And that movie sucked.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ready Player One is one of the funniest movies ever because you have this whole fictional VRChat world full of different popular IPs, but there are so many obvious glaring omissions because of real world copyright laws preventing them from being in the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →The guy who wrote Ready Player One wrote a poem about the porn women he wants and the fact that this guy got a movie deal instead of a trip to The Hague says a lot about society.
neutral · AI labelView post →if you wanted to know my basic opinion Sonic 3 >>> Sonic 2 > Sonic 1 = Super Mario Bros. Movie = Super Mario Galaxy Movie > Super Mario Bros. 1993 > Ready Player One (don't ask)
negative · AI labelView post →Rewatching READY PLAYER ONE for the first time since it debuted and while the dialogue is still really groanworthy, this movie has aged in a fascinating way regarding the continued obsession with 1980s pop culture and a tech billionaire desperate to look cool.
neutral · AI labelView post →contemplating the existence of Space Jam 2 and the Ready Player One movie, the fact that Warner Brothers produced multiple movies the central thesis of which was "isn't it cool that we have access to all of this IP don't you like seeing all of it?" within a few years of eachother
neutral · AI labelView post →Ready Player One but it’s only the fandom fetish versions of those characters idk I just want a movie where people call their attacks and the call is “Google Sonic inflation!”
neutral · AI labelView post →NGL I'd have been way more excited about a Magic movie back before the IP became Ready Player One.
neutral · AI labelView post →Almost daily I think about this quote from Ready Player One, the movie as I don't think this was from the book: "...we estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures..."
neutral · AI labelView post →I know this is just me and I'm a monster for it, but the white Big Trak toy seen in the background in the Minecraft movie, and in the movie Ready Player One, was only sold in the UK, the gray one was sold in the US, where these movies purportedly take place. Left: UK Right: US You're killing me!

neutral · AI labelView post →This is something I noticed with that Ready Player One movie. Apparently dudes in the near future cared enough about Battletoads to make it their entire online persona, but there's not a single 7 foot tall muscular catwoman?

neutral · AI labelView post →Listening to a relatively brutal critique of Ready Player One (mostly movie over book but both) and oh my god it's absolutely a new red flag for me if anyone actually likes this lol
negative · AI labelView post →Alright, since it was requested, my notes from the Delta Movie File on READY PLAYER ONE. It is @edzitron.com's fault I watched this.
neutral · AI labelView post →Right, you know how Ready Player One is nobody’s favourite Spielberg movie? I feel like we’re about to get a long demonstration of why it isn’t
negative · AI labelView post →I just watched Ready Player One. I knew all about the movie and the book going in. and yet I was still unprepared for how absolutely soulless and vapid it was. I don't even know how to express the banality here. jesus what a bleak landscape
negative · AI labelView post →It's like... the non-evil version of the Ready Player One effect. If you know: spaghetti westerns, Kurosawa film, Buddhism, etc., you can see the influence on A New Hope and go "oh cool!" but they're not like, placed there in order for you to do that
neutral · AI labelView post →#stevenspielberg I’ve worked for him on three of his movie involvements: Casper, War Horse and Ready Player One. 🎥
neutral · AI labelView post →Eddington is not a good movie it's just Ready Player One for people who were terminally online in July of 2020
neutral · AI labelView post →OTOH I could not have hated READY PLAYER ONE more as a novel, and then somehow they pulled it off and made me hate it more as a movie. So with you there.
negative · AI labelView post →Every Seedance 2.0 clip caption: “the entire film industry is now OBSOLETE!” Every Seedance 2.0 clip: some Ready Player One-ass bullshit that looks like a genie made a 10-year-old’s notebook margin doodles come to life
negative · AI labelView post →Super Bowl ads are kind of like if a Ready Player One movie was evenly divided into 50 separate advertisements.
neutral · AI labelView post →Missing the point of the movie by as wide a margin of miss as the presence of the Iron Giant in the battle scenes in Ready Player One.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ready Player One is such peak nerd comfort movie 🥰
positive · AI labelView post →Making a ramblefap audio watching VR chat porn Makes me think of that Ready Player One movie and remembering how sexless its metaverse was like "where's the 8 foot tall poorly animated anime mommy avatar with a HUGE cock?"
neutral · AI labelView post →the worst part about this movie is that It makes Ready Player One feel like it was designed well
negative · AI labelView post →Ready Player One sucks so much tremendous ass. The book is already The Worst Book I Read to Completion, but the movie isn't much better. There's one cool part, but it's maddening.
negative · AI labelView post →“The problem with Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is that it’s not as good as the motion picture adaptation of Ready Player One” Film twitter is in shambles
neutral · AI labelView post →thinking again about Ready Player One, a very stupid book adapted into a very dumb movie that nevertheless is absolutely worth watching because even on autopilot, microwaving his own leftovers, Spielberg just can't help but cook.
neutral · AI labelView post →Moving onto a modern film with 80s and 90s nostalgia for days in it. Yep it's time to watch Ready Player One for the hundredth time. Love this film #filmsky #readyplayerone #nostalgia #genx
positive · AI labelView post →i saw the Ready Player One movie during the summer of MoviePass and to this day i don’t believe Spielberg directed like 85% of that movie
negative · AI labelView post →The Ready Player One movie. Sure, it's Gamemaster Anthony's birthday party, but sometimes I just *like* to turn my brain off and watch a bunch of toys being played with. (Also, it can't be overstated just what an improvement the film is over the source material.)
positive · AI labelView post →I'm the only one of my friends to have read Ready Player One. When the movie came out my friends were like "I hate Ready Player One lol" and I was like "No. No you do not. *I* hate Ready Player One." It's a credit to Steven Spielberg that he transformed that dumpster fire into a merely bad movie.
negative · AI labelView post →"Original film" is doing a lot of legwork here because that means they are excluding Ready Player One, War of the Worlds or Minority Report because they are adaptations. Something people got really mad at ME for doing when I pointed out that Backrooms was an adaptation, funnily enough. 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →Worst movie you've ever seen? I keep trying to think of one that i hated watching more than Ready Player One to this date.
negative · AI labelView post →Ready Player One is an underrated movie. That's it... that's the post.
positive · AI labelView post →Man, imagine making a movie like Ready Player One and it's not about Johnny Mnemonic and Bobby Digital teaming up.

neutral · AI labelView post →listening to a podcast recapping the movie READY PLAYER ONE, and I can only assume the people who said nice things about it watched it with the sound off.
negative · AI labelView post →Bravely being the guy who insists that READY PLAYER ONE is a pretty amazing film in which Spielberg has his cake (brilliant action and teary sentiment) and eats it (he’s obviously disturbed by a world he himself helped to build). He’s Halliday! And this warps the source material productively.

negative · AI labelView post →Thinking about how much Ready Player One (the book, I never saw the movie) sucks total ass Genuinely one of the worst books I've read in my life
neutral · AI labelView post →Howard the Duck rules. Godzilla 98 is solid. The Lost World kicks ass. I worship Ready Player One (the film). We need to be more vocal on unpopular opinions.
positive · AI labelView post →other nominees: - Princess Bride - Jaws - American Psycho - Ready Player One (not that the movie is great, but fuck was the book awful)
negative · AI labelView post →Thinking about the mass market's fluctuating tolerance for retro hipster nerd stuff and trying to organize some kind of quadrant diagram where the four corners are Ready Player One (the book), Ready Player One (the movie), Scott Pilgrim (the comic), and Scott Pilgrim (the movie)
neutral · AI labelView post →Remembered Ready Player One the movie existed Holy shit I cannot believe I actually saw that in theaters - to date that remains the most awkward movie I've ever had to see in public
negative · AI labelView post →KFC Everything Bowl of recognizing characters. Ready Player One book was patient zero, but it got worse though the movie and the Space Jam sequel.
