"Ready Player One." What say you?

[Iggo]

Workmen are finishing up the plumbing and electrical, and installing the new appliances in our kitchen. It's my day off from babysitting them and I'm hiding out at the movies.

Ready Player One looks good.

Is it?

1. I read the book and enjoyed the movie.

For a film with so much CGI, it is surprisingly human. I think that is Spielberg's particular gift.
hope this helps.

2. Spielberg? I didn't even know.

I'll give him the benny of the doubt.

Thanks for the heads-up.

3. The book is better than the movie but

how could anyone ever get all of it into the movie? I was an arcade teen so the references in the book took me right back there. I don't think you'd need to have read the book to enjoy the movie though. It's the kind I'd like to see again to catch stuff I may have missed.

4. Never heard of the book...

...but I basically lived at the Sega Center back in late 70s and 80s. I was there when Asteroids blew up. (Yeah. I was that guy.)

Anyway, movie starting in two minutes. I'll report back after.

6. Re-reading the book, then gonna see the movie

Great book, so I'm looking forward to seeing it play out on the screen

7. I loved it.

I have NOT read the book, but have no doubt that it's better. Books almost always are. But from someone who only saw the movie, it stands quite well on its own.

8. I've got the book on kindle but haven't read it yet

I'm supposed to read it as part of my writing and editing course. My teacher recently went to see the movie and thought it was an abomination lol
