Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

    Sorry I just can’t agree with this one. Stoned or not, that movie is absolutely fantastic. I’m trying to do some mental gymnastics to empathize with people who disliked it…but I can’t…movie is just one of the best. There’s no getting around it :-/

      Well for some people the word vagina scares them. It is a misconception that feminists don’t like coitus.

        The whole scene with Julianne Moore there is so quotable. I say “He fixes the cable?” to just about anything remotely resembling “You can imagine what happens next.”
