re: Ready Player One trailer

After reading this thread, decided to pick up this book. This was a good read and this trailer with it's weird race shite kinda pisses me off. Can't believe I missed this book before now. Why would they change the plot that much for the race???

It's clear Parzival is the Dolorean without the reddit grab. He owned one in the book. Guess Aech is in the bigfoot and I would of thought Shoto got the Akira motorcycle, but apparently that is Art3mis.

Art3mis looks super skinny in the trailer. That's kinda a big thing against what the book was going for with her and her issues. Would of expected Wade to be bigger IRL too.

Yeah, I would've made the teaser a faux trailer for Oasis itself with a URL for Oasis promo site and not done a full reveal for a while.

right when he logs in, he passes Harley Quinn and Deadpool

I actually almost bought this book the other day at B&N. Had no idea they were coming out with a movie. So as someone born in 1982, is this a book I need to read?

It's a really fun read the first and second time. All the references are great and put in in creative ways.

It's certainly not great literature, and the main character becomes more unlikable the more times you read the book (at least to me). But that doesn't change how much fun I had listening to it.

I'm excited for the movie. I imagine the Japanese brothers are going to be left out, which is fine by me. I just hope they keep the DnD section and the Zork section.

I'll be honest, the trailer doesn't match up at all with how the book felt. We'll see. I was thinking the visuals would have more of an '80s feel.

The Aech reveal can't be as big of a thing in the movie. He isn't a white male, he's a big ogre dude. Kinda blows up that whole thing.

Good point, I guess I just imagined them a little different, like a NASA room when a space ship launched.

Well, that looks fricking awesome.

I have a serial down voter, I guess I irritated someone discussing the book.
