Currently picked up on Ernest Cline's debut novel "Ready Player One" where I had left it (somewhere around page sixty out of nine-hundred and thirty eight.) So far there's been more depth, and biting socio-economic commentary than was afforded by its Hollywood counterpart, which on first view I found lacking.

Ready Player One is about Privacy, Digital Rights and Ageism
A lot of people have a mixed bag of feelings when it comes to Steven Spielberg's 2018 masterpiece Ready Player One. They dislike the nostalgia bait, and the countless references. They poke fun at logical inconsistencies. Yet nobody can deny the fact that Spielberg apparently is incapable of making a terrible movie. Still, how many of you actually looked at Ready Player One seriously? How many of you thought about it's messaging? How many noticed the politics that Spielberg is hiding in plain sight?

Had two experiences this last weekend with movies made from books.
Saw #ProjectHailMary having read the book first, and read #ReadyPlayerOne having seen the movie first.
I usually prefer the books, but these two really push the respective media.
In both cases, I love the world building in the books, the details and nuance that sometimes gets lost in a movie (I felt Grace waking up was rushed and frantic in the movie), but both also benefit from amazing visuals (that I wouldn't think would work without feeling uncanny, e.g.. Rocky).
In both cases, well worth watching/reading both if you're into that genre, but I would say you get more from reading PHM before watching the movie.
RPO is varied enough that both are enjoyable trips into the universe.

Ho finito di rivedere per l’ennesima volta #ReadyPlayerOne e come ogni volta penso che 19 anni prima c’eravamo - quasi - arrivati noi per primi 😅
Ciò detto, il film della Gialappa’s, rivisto oggi, è un immondezzaio di cose “che non si possono più dire e fare”. E non perché siamo cattivi e bigotti OGGI, ma perché eravamo stronzi e volgari IERI.(È anche brutto come film, tolta la patina di nostalgia del me stesso quindicenne che andò a vederselo in sala).

Well, "speak of the devil, and in he walks"
I've periodically popped off about #HBO because when I'm on break and I tune around & nothing good's on anywhere else, I'll go there but only to find repeated repeats of aged movies--which is fine, if I missed 'em when they first came out, but repeating even good movies until they become tiresome is something else again.Unless it turns into an Easter Egg hunt. I'm a damn sucker for Easter Eggs, I'll admit. And the latest old film that HBO is currently driving into the ground is Spielberg's #ReadyPlayerOne and that one's ALL about Easter Eggs. Spielberg is the devil who virtually walked in upon mention.
He's got a short blurb in this political magazine I picked up (The Week), in the upper left corner of p. 10. It pretty much explains his own family background to explain how he did such a damn good deep nerdy dive into things in that movie: he's the son of a computer engineer, and when his parents divorced (he was 15), that's who got custody of him. But it's obvious to me that his dad wasn't an engineer for Texas Instruments, or there would have been a nod to the TI 99/4A in that movie. That one did cartridge games AND voice synth whereas Atari did just the games. Atari did do computers too, and that seems to have escaped nerdy notice.
In the final frames of that movie, though, there were tributes to Star Trek merch, but what a lot of antique pop culture nerds of nowadays aren't aware of, Star Trek the computer game was one of the FIRST games played on networks, long before personal computers were invented. That originated on a mainframe in the 1960s before Intel even contemplated putting an IBM 360 on a chip and called it the processor 8080.
