It’s really not 30-50 years, the movie has clearly fucked that up with overwatch characters and whatnot. The guy who triggers all this was obsessed with pop culture from the 80s and early 90s. And not just pop-culture, nerd pop-culture. And perhaps even obsessed is wrong, he was deeply immersed in the pop culture of…

The basis for the pop culture obsession in Ready Player One is not nostalgia. It is because of a specific set of interests held by the creator of the game so that they can try and win his treasure hunt. Therefore they are limited to the time period which he was interested in.

I think that annoys me most about all of these adaptations and reboots we’re getting these days are these adaptations and reboots that take the basic premise of the original story they’re adapting, look it, laugh derisively and smugly announce “Seriously?

This post deserves a wedgie.

It is, mostly for legal reasons. In the fifties, Ian Fleming had worked with two other writers on a script that he later transformed into the novel named Thunderball. He made the mistake of not crediting the two other guys for their contributions. They sued him, and won compensation in the form of the filming rights…

Maybe not for the movies, but there have been plenty of Star Wars stories that had nothing to do with the Rebellion or the Empire. The Han Solo Trilogy from the late 1970s followed Han and Chewie’s exploits in a region called the Corporate Sector, which was controlled by giant corporations and had a more-or-less…
