So why were they called the missing millions?

Also there was about 1 scene in that trailer that wasn't dark blue

100%.

Is there a Jurassic Park reference though? That's what I care about.

>>85299932
No, of course not, but it relies heavily on them to move the plot forward.

But basically the book is about this megaultra billionaire and creator of the de facto virtual reality world(s) called the Oasis, James Halliday, who upon his deathbed sets up this game within his Oasis game to find easter eggs and obtain three keys which will grant the winner the chance to win every single one of his monetary assets.

To find those keys and easter eggs you have to have a beyond autismal knowledge of pop culture references as well as weebshit.

>>85298284
Japan said no. It was the right move.

The book is the biggest pile of shit.

Oh and the love interest is exactly her by with a scar and her friend is a fat black girl who uses a white guy avatar.

And the kid obviously wins the prize from the egg hunt and gets given control over oasis after a fan-wank mech/robot battle where every aspie controls a mech from pop culture.

There. I saved you the hassle of reading that piece of shit.

It's like a race to list as many middle-brow, entry-level pieces of trash as possible. Does the author have no self-awareness?

What's even worse is that even with all the autistic listing, there is no in-depth references made. It sounds like the author has just read a Wikipedia page of 'popular 80s videogames' and written down a few names.

Christ this shit is terrible and if you enjoy it you should be embarrassed.

>>85300590
To be fair, it is literally just what one random Gen X-er liked growing up. The weird part is the way the book treats it like he has godly taste, and truly never again will such a glorious era of media come about

But the memes. The memes! Where are the shitty, normie, low hanging fruit memes God damn it

>>85300590
Brave Raideen is hardly entry level. It didn't even have subs in the 80s.

The problem is that he lists off the references without really doing anything that makes it believable that he or the characters are fans of these things. Same issue with The Big Bang Theory.

>>85300848
Fair enough, perhaps there are some obscure references, but as you say, any idiot with an internet connection could display a similar level of 'nerd knowledge' as the book does.

You only need to read the reddit thread to know how shit this is

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/6owob5/ready_player_one_official_trailer/

>>85300848
I didn't know what that thing was but looking at the Wikipedia entry for it.
>Brave Raideen is considered the first super robot anime to reach a large U.S. audience directly. It was first broadcast in Honolulu, Hawaii on KIKU TV-13, which ran the series with English subtitles created and produced in-house. The series first hit the mainland in June 1976, Sunday nights at 6:00 P.M.

>>85300955

This is when I start to understand why people lose hope in the average audience. Because the Iron Giant is the worst part in this.
It's pure cynical movie-making, it's just producers in a board room that know that Iron Giant means something to people and they put it in because it can bring more people in.
It's prostitution of a meaningful icon that was originally untainted and pure.

Fuck this movie, fuck Hollywood, fuck my life.

Have you considered the possibility that your own over-reliance of pop-culture as a relation mechanism causes you to have a visceral reaction when you see it pointed out and blasted back in your face?

Have you even read the book? Because it actually does make a good point about the whole thing, and literally everyone complaining about the references clearly haven't, and are doing their absolute damnedest to miss the forest through the trees.

No it doesn't, at all. It's all shallow "hurr durr VR sex isn't as good as the real thing" and superficial self-improvement bullshit to appeal to adolescents, the whole plot of the kid sticking it to the big man through playing a videogame and being a nerd is there. In the end the kid becomes a billionaire thanks to his escapism, and mets people and friends thanks to it.

And even if that weren't true and the morale of the book was something less retarded, that still wouldn't excuse shit like

That's terrible prose, it's something I would expect out of an ESL writing gay erotica at furaffinity, not out of a 40-year old man that apparently won poetry contests.

I'm sorry but if this movie looks at all good to you or you actually consider the book to be good literature you probably have a low IQ. I'm talking 80-89 range.

I guess since the movie's in post production they've already done it. Plus since it's Spielberg, the dude with probably some of the most pull in Hollywood, it's easier.

Oh wow! References to things I know and love! I couldn't even let go of my expensive Razer gaming mouse as I clapped heartily and now one of the buttons are is broken off but i'm not mad! I will see this movie eleventy hundred times!!! OMG SQUEEEE! Spielberg is such a cinematic game changer™

Quite the opposite, since knowing this stuff wins the main character money. The writer didn't have the gall (or intelligence) to flip it and go "Wow, this stuff is infantile and useless to obsess over, and escapism + nostalgia makes for a bad mix that causes negligence and eventually dystopia"

>expecting actual non-entry level shit in a book like RPO.
40k isn't exactly the most obscure IP in existence, but anything like it or similar stuff like say 2000 AD, aren't going to be appearing in a book like this. Because the purpose of it isn't to actually make a book about a treasure hunt featuring stuff liked by an actual super-nerd, it's purpose is to cram as many pop culture references that normalfags know as you can into it and then say "see, all this stuff is nerdy." The purpose is to make normalfags feel "lol so nerdy XDXD" because that's what's popular right now, and including anything slightly obscure would completely ruin that. It's the same reason it's practically a list of popular IPs, rather than something that actually makes you think the protagonist actually has an understanding of these IPs. Making it so that knowing the order in which kenshiro defeated the kingsmen in FotNS, or that Ao is the overlord of forgotten realms in DnD would instantly confuse normalfags, and that would cause them to drop the boom right then and there, because they no longer feel nerdy.

So instead we get a list of entry level shit glued together by an overdone plot and terrible prose

Because it's not actually about having to know those references, it's truly just about an excuse to show all this """"nerdy"""""" stuff. It is the most shallow, uninspired and blandest thing a person could create, and is nothing more than a list of various 80's things. It's shit and thus deserves to be shit on

I've read the whole comic before going to see the movie.

>>85308818
No, RPO is science fiction with 0 fantastical elements with a bunch of characters barely fleshed out.
The plot and everything on it feels fantastical because the plot is simply unbelievable, full of plotholes, and it has a criminal lack of a hermeneutical world.
It's a science fiction tale set in a dystopian future that is hard to believe, with a plot that is basic and has a several lack of themes, and characters that are incredibly flat, they undergo extremely shallow and boring "arcs".

Scott Pilgrim is pretend Reddit, it's a film that works on most levels, but that because it associated itself with nerd culture it's consistently branded as being "Reddit" around here, while RPO is something whose whole purpose is being nerdy. There's nothing below the most shallow foundations for a story behind the pop culture references in RPO, while in Scott Pilgrim the references are just that, references, they're irrelevant plot-wise.
