A little late here, but "Ready Player One" was a fun movie. But if you read the book first, don't expect to see the book onscreen. Way too many differences. It's really a similar yet different story.

This is one of those books that should have been left alone and either not made into a movie, or followed the book as closely as possible.

But kudos to Spielberg for getting a ton of 80s icons in the movie.

Saw Deadpool 2 and took my kids to see Oceans 8, too. DP2 was funny as hell. O8 was somewhat entertaining. I am higher then "meh" but lower that "that was really good!". My kids thought it was awesome though. Side note, they might both be considering a life of crime now. What have I done??

All the pardon talk in the news lately made me recall a line from an 80's movie where the governor was pardoning someone on death row. The quote was "You're pardoned, and she's pardoned, and he's pardoned, and you're not." So I found it; the movie was a Burt Reynolds-Kathleen Turner-Christopher Reeve film called Switching Channels. It is from the 80's; so dated; but I laughed uproariously for some reason.

I’m not sure how you look at a poster like that and not see where feminists are coming from.

Don't ruin my 80's nostalgic misogyny moment with your hippie nonsense.
