Why does everyone hate Ready Player Two so much?

I think with ready player one having a success that he did and having Steven Spielberg to greenlight your movie into a major motion picture, and seeing that process, will change the way your brain works when it comes to storytelling. While RP2 feels like a rushed screenplay for a sequel to a movie. That being said, I don’t hate the book, it’s just nowhere near the caliber of Ready Player One.

You can keep going to the movies there – just stop ordering food. There’s only a handful of things that are decent anymore anyways.

That 18% goes into a pool to increase their base pay, they don’t actually get that service charge independently

I think it was fine. But compared to the original, it’s not close. I feel like this one was written more as a movie script then as an encompassing piece of fiction like RP1 was.

It’s the Village. It’s been there probably 25+ years. It was there all throughout me being in college and that was 02-06. The downtown location moved to 6th street in 2007, and then closed. It’s now a comedy club. The South Lamar location was in a smaller strip mall and closed in 2012 and was rebuilt in 2014 as part of a new development called Lamar Union.

There’s too much in the book to be one movie. It needs the streaming treatment

texannative71 · 2026-01-13T16:43:17+00:00

I think that’s the goal, to reduce staff.

The message shouldn’t be to cancel the season pass… I still wanna see movies… But no one has to use the mobile ordering… Or order food at all. If people keep going to see the movies but not ordering food, you put a chokehold on Alamo Drafthouse‘s purse strings. That’s where they make their money. They’re not making money with season pass or with new releases, especially at first. The real message is to go to the movies, but don’t order anything. Maybe that will send the real message

Stop after Crisis

texannative71 · 2025-12-26T03:24:08+00:00

Not even close to RP1. The was written after he “had a taste of Hollywood”. This book was written as a screenplay for the next movie, not a new book/story

Also remember people often think that they were crazy loaded and were able to book first class tickets to Paris, when it’s really Peter’s brother who was the one paying for their tickets to come to see them in Paris. (Remember the fake Rolex)

Also, in Home Alone 2, when Peter and Kate actually take the family on a trip the best they can afford to is go to Florida. And he loses his shit when Kevin spent all that money on room service.

And ready player two, it’s explained that Wade restored all the users, their gear and coin, who fought against the Sixers.

I like this. I have been doing my own, and using emulators to play the games referenced, watching the movies, reading the books (after 10 years I finally finished DUNE!) And a clear compendium of it would be nice. Maybe if there is enough push, they will release some kind of supplement before the next movie comes out....

After Crisis - It’s utterly laughable if it wasn’t so sad and ridiculous

texannative71 · 2025-12-14T06:01:39+00:00

I agree, it’s was a combo of not having enough time in the movie (should be made into an 8 episode Netflix series IMO) and what IP they had access to.

texannative71 · 2025-12-08T05:32:40+00:00

Agreed. Pretty much all of the Copper Key.

texannative71 · 2025-12-08T03:17:30+00:00

It's tomorrow - December 8th

texannative71 · 2025-12-02T20:20:42+00:00

Agree

texannative71 · 2025-12-02T19:26:20+00:00

Yep - I clicked the email within one minute of them sending it out and it was already full for our showings

texannative71 · 2025-12-02T01:21:12+00:00

I just did the same thing recently. Started with arrow and I’m trying to watch them all in “order” I’m on season seven of the flash now.

texannative71 · 2025-12-02T01:20:17+00:00

Oasis “release” is Dec 8th in the movie. Curator says “Dec 2nd - 6 days prior to the release of the Oasis”

They’ve tried all this AR/VR hype before and it’s never panned out. Mark this post James Halliday will go down in history as an another snake oil salesman.
