>implying it isn't already

Yes
I'm gonna go off topic, but fast forward into the future let's say we are at the peak of VR and have a VR world like this.
What would you do?

Does ANYBODY else see these references? Should I point them out? Only gamers really can see them so I'm wondering if I need to tell anybody them...

It looks embarrassing.

From the trailer it looks like the premise is a huge VR world filled with everyone's favorite recognisable characters being used to distract the population from their miserable dystopian lives.
Is the irony intentional?

Pretend I'm Barclay in a holodeck.

When you put it that way, it actually sounds pretty good.

Mercy slut with enhanced tits and hips

Yes, unless they dance off to Party Rockers in the House Tonight in which case it becomes /our movie/

>Hey, Popculture Reference: The Movie

Looks like shit desu. Kind of reminds me of the Thing novel. "And he looked like x character from x movie." "And then he turned into y character from that popular y movie."

If I live in a vr world I'm 100% going to titty bars or vr sex then I'll just fucking drive everywhere because I love driving.

People tell me that if you read the book as a dystopian satire with the main character being a cautionary tale then it's absolute kino.

One of the main premises of the RPO universe is that culture has basically stopped and hasn't produced anything worthwhile for decades, which is why people in 2048 are still jizzing themselves over 80's shit. It's almost prescient, given that Spielberg is by no means a stupid man I wonder if he's aware of the subtext.

imprison my coworkers

.
I've already seen people creaming their pants over Gundam cameo. Even if old Jew makes it into satire, it'll end up like Starship Troopers - a movie with message so finely intertwined into story that most people never noticed it.
But who am I kidding. It'll be pure "rememebr dis?" marathon/

live out all my degenerate fetishes with my VR anime harem

That could actually turn out great.
Seeing the reactions to this movie everywhere but Sup Forums though makes me think the irony is lost on most people.

Anyone got those excerpts from the book that have been posted a few times> It was absolutely the worst thing I've ever read.

Reading those excerpts actually reminded me a lot of the American Psycho novels with how Bateman would have this stream of consciousness rambling on about fashion and shit, as a way for the reader to realise that he's hollow inside.

Be Knuckles from Sonic the Hedgehog and run around doing a Ugandan accent.

It has to be intentional right? Some sort of commentary about people losing themselves in franchises (like we see right now with SW, capeshit fanboys etc) and the erosion of culture caused by mass media.
Otherwise I can't seriously believe someone could write something like this and think and endless list of pop culture references could be good writing.

Ernest Cline owns a delorean with the license plate Ecto88 and added Ghostbusters decals to it.
Here he is sitting in it next to Game of Thrones author GRR Martin wearing an Atari T shirt and a jacket that has emblems from popular scifi

good answer

Forgot picture

I doubt considering how the protagonist reads like a blatant self insert. He's awesome, gets /fit/ in matter of several pages and basically never looses. It's too braindead to be a satire.
That's the book though. Movie can go completely different way, just as aforementioned Starship Troopers did

its pretty clear that the author based the main character on himself and he's being entirely unironic in his fanwankery if you read his other work.

This is the first time I've seen a photo of Ernest Cline.

He looks EXACTLY like I pictured him.

You guys like poetry? Here's a poem the guy wrote. He would have become another Elliot Rodgers if he didn't have an incredible stroke of luck that got him famous and rich.

Starship Troopers wasn't really based on the book though iirc
Didn't the guy just write an original script and then somebody mentioned that it sounded vaguely like some book so they got the rights to make it into a movie.
Basically just slapping a pre-existing name onto a totally original movie.

RPO is already based on the book from the start. Probably some hollywood exec heard it had 80s references and that's 'in' right now so it will be an instant hit

>"So this is the power of post modernist pop culture?"

Laws and IP protections mean there's no need for OC user. ?? Worship mouse overlords begins

is he the author that had his wife turn him down, until his book became a hit and he became a millionaire, then somehow the chick realized what a great guy he is?

>projecting this much

Just embrace that youre a gamer ;^)

Based

Rape. EVERYTHING.

No he claimed to start reading the book but he then dropped it because it sounded to much like nazi propaganda to him. He decided to make the book another way round.
I call some bullshit on it because he definitely read it whole and just switched some bits to better fit the message.
>Switching filipino protag to white chad to appear more like propaganda
>remove power armor to make troopers appear more pitful and ill equipped for combat
>merge teacher and sergeant into one to save screentime

>literal Toy Story 1 graphics

lol

>the excerpt is actually real
I will never, ever be 100% convinced that this book is not some elaborate society-wide prank.

This

Oh no, this was that guy?
Jesus Christ

MOTHERFUCKING
BATTLETOADS

If this had come out post-Gorilla Channel I wouldn't believe it was real

I enjoyed the book, maybe because I'm not a nerd.
Seems like nerds find it offensive

What the fuck is the movie even about? Why the fuck did Stephen "I direct pretentious 2deep4u oscarbait horseshit" Spielberg agree to direct it?

If you are here you are a nerd, dont kid yourself

Source on that? Wikipedia says he already had a script written and somebody noted the similarities to Starship Troopers, mostly that they both had alien bugs.
THEN he read a bit of the book and gave up, but just took the character names and other details from the book and put them into his own script for the movie.

B U G

didnt the author of the book not even realize the subtext of it all being a vapid distraction

I feel the same way about it. I can't believe people are going to pay money, walk into a theater, and watch this. It looks like if you designed a ride at an amusement park called "The Manchild Experience" it would just be a theater playing this movie.

>the soy meme is real

>medieval fantasy with elfs
>be happy
if only both of them weren't out of reach

I can't prove anything but I've read the book and watched the movie and there's enough similarities in the story for it to be unlikely to be just name swapping.
Things like cripple recruiter guy is ripped straight from the book down to the dialogue.
It's just my own opinion though.

Makes me think, you might be right

No that's John Green

Nerd porn has existed for decades, as has tons of porn featuring women nothing like you're describing, and if you're turned on by intellect and physique is irrelevant then why in the fuck are you watching porn? Retard.

do u kno de wey

holy fuck he's literally the king of the bugmen

I'm only watching it because it's set in my hometown. Movies are literally never set in my hometown.

I also want to see if Spielberg's post-apocalyptic depiction of my hometown's future turns out to be real.

WOT IF

Is that... femShepard? Oh come fucking on

Shit post on Sup Forums

yes

>Didn't notice it until just now
>It is
>It really is

Fuck me.

Arent these just those 3d models everyone uses in those porn gifs?

Male Shepard is in a scene as well i think.

Drink Barry's Red Cola™

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.

there will be lots of porn right? Thats literally the point of this technology to virtual fuck everyone

is that overewatch and chun li? I thought this was an 80's nostalgia flick, not games from 2016+

>I thought this was an 80's nostalgia flick

You thought waaaaay wrong. It's 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s.

She's also seems to be ugly like I made her in the character creation while being high.

I hope Uganda Knuckles makes a cameo in Ready Player One.

Hollywood would have to be completely out of touch with VR nerd culture to not include at least one.

Today's kids are too young to get 80s references so they had to broaden it to be more relatable

yes that's overwatch, a pretty cool guy. eh munches carpets and doesn't afraid of anything.

inb4 Link and Mario together do the pivotal thing in a 20 second or less scene to save the world and everyone sheds many tears and rates the film 11/10 because muh childhood. that and they are the kings.

>Guys need porn
lol no
guys just need to cum
if you need porn to cum you're fucked

Did you not see the page where RX-78-2 fights with EVA-01 and... was it Voltron?

I also find average porn to be fucking trash and wish for something more tasteful
then I went halfway through that post and my hair fucking stood up

It's actually both

Here's Ernest's wife Cristin O'Keefe, who finally married him in 2016 after 20 years of friendship and who the Art3mis character in Ready Player One was based on.

dude icecrown lmao

yeah, he got a couple of pages in and gave up. I'll admit that henlien did go a little too hard on the moral philosophy stuff

I'D FUCK MY PHONE

ouch!

I don't know who any of those are except Voltron and he's not a vidya character.

yeah yeah, I didn't play your shitty fps

I got you senpai

well, I sure do see a lot of filler characters. half of the image is skeletons.

I'd do this

>chun li
>tracer
>tomb raider or some shit in the background
wow what an impressive roster of my childhood heroes

So, uh, how the fuck is this movie supposed to make any money with all the royalties they'd have to pay if they want to include even a fraction of this shit?

yes because the source material is Reddit: The Novel.

>Full name is Cristin O'Keefe (((Aptowicz)))
>Former writer for Gawker
>He met her at the National Poetry Slam

Make it stop.

Beautiful

I feel like I'm reading Fanfiction.net.

Instead of doing what the novel did they'll rely on contracts allowing free reign of licenses from a couple big companies to supplement designs already owned by Warner (like the Iron Giant). Hence Blizzard, hence Bandai.

Yeah. The whole book is like that.

It's the first time since Fifty Shades of Grey that I couldn't believe something so poorly written was taken seriously enough to get a film adaptation.

Reddit and sjw already hate it because fucking white males

It was utopia after all, a hyperbole on specific forms of running society. People think Heinlein was militaristic nazi but they forget that he wrote books portraying different ideologies and outlooks

>no nintendo references

who fucking cares. not that I'd see it if they had any, but come on. they're missing a behemoth of pop culture.

Killing of a sacred deer. They actually think it's good despite being an absolute pile of shit
