Ah, I thought I published this a while ago, but the technology gods were against me and I lost it before I could get it printed. I did see the movie and I really enjoyed it. I want to see it again, maybe many times, and try to catch all of the details I missed in the first viewing. The music is awesome too. This movie is an homage to easter eggs in technology and popular culture.
Have you ever seen a movie that was radically different from the book but still honored the spirit/essence of the book? That is this movie. The cast and main characters are excellent. The details of the book, the challenges, the clues – all different. It works!
Also, I listened to Ready Player One- Audiobook on audiobook. I usually hate audiobooks, but this one, narrated by Will Wheaton, is excellent! I highly recommend it and have been telling everyone I know about it.
Are you a child of the 1980s? Did you appreciate the mind-blowing meta cognition required by Steven Spielberg to direct it? The 80’s movie master directing an 80’s tribute, excellent job!
