and they could have just showed different people in their little rigs having reactions to in-game events

which they did a few times

but they also put in scenes of people jumping over their couches and running around in public

like there was just a lot of shit that i don't understand except in the worst way

shit clearly written knowing the absurdity of it but done so because the audience will mostly not notice or care

stuff where if you've spent even 5 minutes around videogames you know it wouldn't work that way

Shoulda had a scene where someone runs into a fucking wall

yeah that's what i was thinking every time they showed someone with the headset on outside of a rig

i will say this

it took a minute but i totally bought into the anime ass virtual avatars of the main characters

Looking at shit like vrchat of course it's what they'd have

I'm looking forward to rlm doing a review on it.

same

They're going to tear it apart

It'll be fun

i think we're about to see some serious *shit*

with anime faces

in all movies now

we're finally coming up out on the other side of the uncanny valley

i'm interested to see what the reception will be like for that battle angel alita movie

I don't see that working out well

Even if it's good

200 years in the future, people refer to the CLASSICS such as "ready player one" as the definitive historical representation of gamer culture

i liked ben mendehlson in it

he's a good actor

I liked the lead actor in mud

The other work I've seen isn't much

These fucking people

This fucking group

Wait

West as in western world?

These people should be afraid of us

acting like they aren't is part of the game

its actually the entire thing

It's almost as if they want me to be anti-Semitic

they do

Hey Google, where can I find the nearest synagogue?

I'm philosemitic if anything

I love Jews!

Jews Rock!
