SADDO: THE MOVIE (aka READY PLAYER ONE)

it is nothing like that and has no redeeming aspects

^

it was Speilberg doing a reference to the ending of the Fate of Atlantis videogame

Writing Credits (WGA)
David Koepp ... (screenplay)

George Lucas ... (story) and
Jeff Nathanson ... (story)

Thank u for the Fate of Atlantis writing credits, Morbs, now we know who Speilburg ripped off for his Crystal Skull screenplay.

fun detail

At the time a sequel to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure was decided, most of the staff of Lucasfilm Games was occupied with other projects such as The Secret of Monkey Island and The Dig.[25][26] Designer Hal Barwood had only created two computer games on his own before, but was put in charge of the project because of his experience as a producer and writer of feature films.[25][26] The company originally wanted him to create a game based on Indiana Jones and the Monkey King/Garden of Life, a rejected script written by Chris Columbus for the third movie[26] that would have seen Indiana looking for Chinese artifacts in Africa.[26][27] However, after reading the script Barwood decided that the idea was substandard, and requested to create an original story for the game instead.[26]

again, that "criticism" is like "my childish relationship to this nostalgia bait trumps your childish relationship to this nostalgia bait"

like you *already lost* if you have an opinion on if how the Iron Giant is represented in Ready Player One is good or bad

wait til you snowflakes get a load of the carnivorous moomins

jk some things are sacred whiny is Ernest Cline and I claim my 5

The Westing Game is peerless I hope kids are still reading it

looks like I'm gettin dragged to this opening night. tempted to steal the idea of shouting every reference and getting it wrong

tho the theatre didn't exactly erupt in anger when someone said "Hellboy!" when Thanos showed up in the post-credits of Avengers

Whiney u are such a grown-up, I hope I can be a grown-up like u someday, please teach me to put away my childish things oh please won't u, I'm so tired of *already losing*

Whinesplainin

lmao at y'all cuckflake babies who don't think everything Ted Hughes ever wrote should be rented out by Warner Bros

i agree with Whiney and can't wait for the scene with Captain Planet rolling coal

just lmao at all you idiot loser babies who like things. I don't like stuff

otm

no tbf i like age-appropriate stuff

Can't wait until I'm finally old enough to watch Matlock.

adherence to historical context is such a childish endeavor.

superiority is the only true adult sport.

hence why adult shows feature real heroes, cops and lawyers, catching bad guys

the scene with Captain Planet rolling coal

this sounds good, but the audience reaction would make me feel bad

god how amazing would it be if the Dukes of Hazzard and Clyde out of Every Which Way But Loose were in this

giant Arnold Jackson battlebot

the duke boys and clyde team up to impregnate sonic the hedgehog as battlecat looks on

some Dino Riders, Snorks, and Skeletor all part of gun-running venture

Batman murders an innocent man in the first scene and deadpans "that's why you don't mess with THE DARK KNIGHT"

fuck a batman get some care bears up in that shit

FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOM

may the force be with you, says my girlfriend Princess Leia while the entire cast of Strike Force whips out their proton packs and proceeds to do the Electric Slide. I ponder the nature of the universe while whacking off.

it's all about fan servicin' kids

apparently ProStars ran for 3 months when i was in my early 20s and it's still indelibly etched

prostars! someone bring that shit back.

lol i watched that shit

Can't wait until the nostalgic revival of shitty early '90s celebri-toons begins in earnest. I need my gritty Hammerman reboot now, dammit.

someday kids will be nostalgic for that time when culture was dominated by 90s nostalgia

Doug Funnie beats up Roger Klotz

Wish Kid ftw

Totally had a Wish Kid reference lined up. Must now scramble for a replacement. Perhaps Life With Louie will do.

obviously not all of your fine children's programming made it across to our side of the Atlantic

The Westing Game is peerless I hope kids are still reading it

FWIW, my older kid read it when she was younger and thought it was just OK. My younger kid (10), we coincidentally tried it last week or so and she wasn't having it. So who knows?

they should have just made the movie a 15 minute "We Didn't Start the Fire" music video with Billy Joel just singing all the characters as they appear on screen.

Goddamn it, I am now almost certainly going to wind up spending a large portion of my day reconfiguring Billy Joel lyrics. Thanksalot.

i do feel that gen x's inability to let go of its childhood pop culture b.s. really poisoned culture to some degree

I agree mostly because it's one thing to talk about all the fun shit you grew up with wistfully, still ok to quote movies and shit around friends...but some years I go to our local Fringe festival and see a show that's all goddamn references and people howling and it is nuts.

Everybody wants to blame Family Guy but its references were often more obscure and inside baseball. like how many times a day do I need to hear Princess Bride quotes?

and a lot of these people are the same folk who say "80s kids remember REAL music and movies" on Youtube comment sections about fuckin' Bananarama
