Are you ready for the geekiest film of this century?

Are you ready for the geekiest film of this century?

If they tone down the 80's """"references"""" I'm down. It was a neat world and I think the post-apoc imagery has some serious potential. Plus Spielberg's removing all nods at his work.

One of the worst books I've read, and I've read some shit.

reddit's gonna freak!

I saw several pages on the internet. It was wrote like a bad fanfic, I have no hope for it.

> Spielberg's removing all nods at his work
Seriously? All the references and nostalgia are part of the appeal of the book.

If you think this is bad then try his next book. It's legit awful.

>no clue what this is
>look it up
>best friend/rival is a black lesbian pretending to be a straight male

Are you triggered? I hope you are and got mad.

Will tumblr riot?

>dat pic
If you think about it, TPB were progresive as fuck. You have gay couple with kinky fetishes, drag quens, transgenders and even a fucking transracial person.

Why would they?

I love nerd culture references as much as the next guy, but this book was tripping over itself by trying to cram as many references as it can into every sentence.

"So I put on my leather jacket, like Michael Jackson from that old music video Thriller, and hopped on my motorcycle, like the one Kaneda rode in the anime masterpiece Akira, and listened to the soundtrack to The Empire Stikes Back, composed by the great John Williams, and I rode home like I was Speed Racer, from the anime of the same name, driving his Mach 5."

Generation X needs to die.

That's not real is it?

>All the references and nostalgia are part of the appeal of the book.
funny because they're the worst part

I couldn't get through this book. I stopped around the time he met the female avatar competing at the game and helped her through the first obstacle. The references were cute at first but they never ended.

It's an exaggeration but Tbh not by much.

He might be paraphrasing.

This is real.

I tried to read the boo but stopped on page 2. It was written so badly and the references were so irritating I could genuinely believe that post was straight from the book. I can't believe it's so well received.

*book

Fucking atrocious.

Makes sense Hollywood likes it. "They're in it for the money" is a clear lie at this point.

They're ok to lose money for ideological films.

this is so cringey fuck me

she must be a hambeast to be that tall and weigh that much

>there's no way she can't be a chubster since my height and weight are identical and I'm a /fit/ muscular manlet
>tfw have no face

>“I wish someone had just told me the truth right up front, as soon as I was old enough to understand it. I wish someone had just said: “Here’s the deal, Wade. You’re something called a ‘human being.’ That’s a really smart kind of animal. Like every other animal on this planet, we’re descended from a single-celled organism that lived millions of years ago. This happened by a process called evolution, and you’ll learn more about it But trust me, that’s really how we all got here. There’s proof of it everywhere, buried in the rocks. That story you heard? About how we were all created by a super-powerful dude named God who lives up in the sky? Total bullshit. The whole God thing is actually an ancient fairy tale that people have been telling one another for thousands of years. We made it all up. Like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. “Oh, and by the way … there’s no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. Also bullshit. Sorry, kid Deal with it.”
>― Ernest Cline, Ready Player One

And they say you shouldn't judge a book its cover

Holy fuck, that was awful. Strained "le quirky nerd xD" shit at it's worst.

What the fuck. And this guy wrote a best selling novel?

Believe what you want but don't shove it down peoples throats

What's ideological about that excerpt, it's just lots of Big Bang-tier references

Normies love """""""nerd"""""" culture, so they're going to capitalize on that.

No shit. Artemis's whole character arc revolves around fat acceptance - her avatar in the big MMO is noticeably fat which is weird because who presents themselves as fat online. At the end she uses her new fame and fortune to launch a plus sized clothing line for girl gamers.

And they hire a typical Hollywood thin actress to pay her

>people like this succeed and you do not
i wanna kill myself but i'm too lazy to even do that

>The 80's was a long decade (ten whole years), [...]
As opposed to 70' that was only 6 years or 90' that ended in 1992.
Jesus Christ, how could anyone publish this shit.

This can't be real

>There people like this on Sup Forums right now

Fuck me even redditors would find this euphoric.

'Sorry kid. Deal with it'

Embarrassing.

...

But they're the butt of the jokes. That's not what progressives want to see on tv.

If everyone who liked Ready Player One was beaten to death with a fucking crowbar the world would be a better place.

>"[...]there’s no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. Also bullshit. Nothing personal kid." - he said as he pulled his katana.

>kek

can't wait to see everyone freak over it
>They'll condemn this but praise the black tower for casting Idris to play a character which does not match his description at all

I saw people on /lit/ call RP1 "Reddit Player One," but I thought they were only exaggerating. Is the whole novel like this?

I agree. Nothing of value would be lost.

Don't worry I'm sure there will be:
Bad parents
absent father
inappropriate humor (i.e. the helmet scene in SPR)
view thru lenses
etc.

Don't worry he can't help it.

>At the end she uses her new fame and fortune to launch a plus sized clothing line for girl gamers.

pls stop im dying

...

...

STOP

What the fuck am I reading?

EVERY. LINE. IS. A. REFERENCE.

THERE'S 400 PAGES OF THIS

>MFW in 20 or 30 years someone will write similar book but instead of 80' references there will be memes and internet humor

A friend once recommended this book to me and I never took him up on it. I used to regret that decision, but now I don't.

...

>something worst than john green and GRRM

This is fucking garbage.

Same. Now I know why my other friends don't like her so much.

Already exists in many forms

It's funny Yuri should say that

Here's the author in a DeLorean with GRRM

whoa. i write better than this...maybe i'll write a book. what do i do? write 300 pages, email it to a bunch of publishers, and wait?

>yuri
"You" fucking autocorrect

This is some tucking self-hypnosis level delusion. Newton was famously unsexual and Galileo, like most Italian men of his time, was probably plowing prostitutes from age 15. Fuckin hell this is sad, someone post a picture of the author.

>fuck me is Green a massive cringe worthy autist

>tfw I'm a left wing 'liberal' as you faggots would say
Damn is he a one man cringefest

Looks like a typical numale

...

Read it in Patrick Bateman's voice

He face looks like it's been photoshopped onto his body. Imagine looking like that every day.

Calm down tumblr

Why do people constantly spew this garbage in defense of this defenceless piece of shit?

Sure almost anything be good if you put really talented people behind it and you're lucky, but why pretend like this black hole of original ideas isn't the colossally doomed hot turd that it is

I honestly don't know if I've ever read anything worse than the few pages I've seen posted here, no hyperbole

Since i gave up on the book halfway through because it sucked so much. No, I am not ready.

user, that is the best-selling novel

My name is Earl had all of that but was an actual enjoyable show

I get that reference!

Did they make the game? Brilliant!!!

They didn't yet? Oh dear!!!!!

Never mind, I'll watch the film,

>half of those 'definitions' are wrong
>no reference to baneposting

this books is cancer

Sick references, bro! Your references are out of control, everyone knows that

The best was that time he went on a rant about how misogynistic our society is because people didn't like the Twilight books.

A book/movie like that would be something similar to Idiocracy I believe.

>kek
swear the books are basically the wet dreams of a middle aged woman in which her main character is exactly what SJWs would hate
>beautiful, depending on two separate men for protection and affection

...

>all these excerpts from the book

I can't believe I was still planning to get it because a friend recommended it to me, its utter trash.

This movie will be entirely 80s references, in the book the author doesn't even acknowledge the fact that culture or video games existed after 1984, which is retarded.

That's some MovieBob self-insert Sonic fanfic-level shit right there.

>7 inches shorter than I am
>8 pounds heavier
Thank Christ they found someone who isn't a literal walrus

Really people of 2044 love 1980s too much?

It reads like a one of those copypastas

>In 2018 everybody make battles Perzival vs Kirito

that looks super cozy

>Cripplechan is mentioned in a textbook

What an age we live in.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck it hurts to read tihs shit
how the fuck did this become a best seller!? are americans devoid of quality literature!?

>a fappening occurs when groups of trolls get together and ogle pornography

>are americans devoid of quality literature!?

David Foster Wallace was heralded as americas best ever for years. go figure.

They'll have to tone it down, no way the studio has any hope of getting all those intellectual property rights. So long as they get the biggest references done right, I'll be happy.

I hope it tanks

This is so gay

Not to mention Thomas Pynchon and Cormac McCarthy are still writing books

How the hell does the plumbing and electricity work?

How is Armada?

its the same shit, really

Lol, post the bit where he and Aech make fun of the bully for not knowing his vidya

Well, who holds the high score?

This is like Sonichu except it's not funny-bad or endearing. So much shit from other, better works of art showing up for no reason.
