SADDO: THE MOVIE (aka READY PLAYER ONE)

the reference-heavy, self-aware book

one of these adjectives is very wrong

Ready Pop-Cultural Ouroboros

listening to audiobook of this. can't quite decide on which part has been worst so far, but the part where he describes the plot of bladerunner and who all the characters are is certainly up there

that's like cutting your own ear off just to see if it's as painful as you imagine it would be

Sounds like Cline might be looking at a lawsuit from Wikipedia.

kind of reminds me of how on Nathan For You he hired a dude off Craigslist to ghostwrite a workout book but only gave him a week to write it, so there are entire pages which are just descriptions of the foods he likes

Thank you for reminding me to read my copy of The Movement: How I Got This Body By Never Going To The Gym In My Life by 'Jack Garbarino', which I'm sure is a more inspired read than Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

great thing about that title is that it draws you in while never once claiming that jack's body is a desirable body

its definitely got more of an emotional core, thanks to the death of Dende the jungle child

(I'm willing my supple and elegant comedic mind to come up with an adequate bridge between The Movement and Ready Number Two in order to construct something that resembles an actual joke instead of just a couple of poop references that make me giggle like a six-year-old.)

The sequel will be called "Continue? Insert Coin"

ready player pwn morelike amirite fellas

the best thing about the audiobook is Will Wheaton aka the worst fucking character from TNG doing his 'Japanese person' voice. it's really special.

O_O

MIckey Rooney couldn't be summoned from beyond?

wow, can you share the audio at all? or is that a bad idea?

There are certain segments of the audiobook up on YT, but I don’t know if that one is there:

Oh I hated this movie so so much. What an irredeemable piece of treacly, incoherent garbage https://t.co/zYWSJA5PA2

lmao @ the shining, movie could not be working harder to personally call my bluff

Eric didn't hate it enough for you bitches

i'm genuinely looking forward to hearing your impressions of this, morbs

lol by the time i'm READY it will be gone from theaters, very likely

"Ready Viewer One."

"What?"

"Well, you're the only one who bought a ticket."

Morbius the Unready

my ideal viewing experience: I am alone in a 300-seat theater

(it happened once)

There was the time it was my, my mom and my sis in the center of a huge theater, and one other couple well away up the front. Sadly, the movie in question was Howard the Duck.

only time it happened for me was a screening of tank girl in 1995

it's pretty common at the theater here if you go at night during the week.

so this movie flopped? is that right?

even on the weekend i've gone and there has been only 2 or 3 people at times. my own private screening palace.

there was an ilxor on facebook who totally went to this. where is his review?

Dude.

Three guesses what I was about to post.

This is officially getting spooky now.

are you fucking shitting me

"so this movie flopped? is that right?"

it opens like, today.

me and a pal went and saw v.i. warshawski because of kathleen turner love and we left in the middle of it and we were the only ones there and sometimes i think about that movie playing at the theater to nobody.

xxpost If it helps to diminish the spookiness, a friend and I cut class to see Tank Girl so I wasn't technically alone alone. But still.

huh, weirdly i was thinking about vi warshawski for the first time in forever yesterday!

ol, it diminishes the weirdness only slightly but tbh i'm still on the verge of an existential crisis wondering whether we're in some kind of tyler durden situation here

The travel costs incurred in maintaining this duel identity is killing us, dude.

no wonder i always feel jetlagged

it opens like, today.

lol I thought it opened last week

I saw Ishtar at the Ziegfeld (~1500 seats?) and I think there were a dozen or so ppl there.

This has literally never happened to me. And I saw Benji Off the Leash.

Nor me. Closest I've come was many years ago, an afternoon screening of Peter Sellers' last atrocity, The Fiendish Plot of Fu Manchu.

This rules

maria went to see a movie in town here during the week one night and there was nobody taking tickets and she wandered around the theater and there was nobody there. like, nobody. she went home. she wins the ghost town movie prize.

i'm just so glad they are still open. i don't know how they do it. it would suck so bad if we had to drive to the mall to see a movie. it's not close.

The Couch Trip in 1988, Liverpool ABC (aka Cannon). Four people.

there was one other person in the theatre when I saw a matinee of Le Roi De Coeur on Tuesday

amazing that this movie is able to replicate the feeling of sitting in a movie theater alone in the 80s

Cool World, probably '93? Me and a friend, and a couple who left halfway through. Also iirc I was a kid expecting a kind of Who Framed Roger Rabbit thing but it was wayyyy raunchier and a bit fucked up.
