Why can't we go backwards for once? Backwards, really, really fast, as fast as we can. Really put the pedal to the metal, you know?

I really love this line because in a world where we are always reminded to move forward, sometimes you just really want to move backwards for once!
Ready player one was amazing ! Have you read the book
The movie was indeed amazing! I haven't read the book, though. Is it worth the read?
The book is actually a hell lot better than the movies. No offense to the movies but as we all know every movie adaption of a book obliterates small, significant details and the book would complete those gaps.

I couldn't agree more. That's why I always make sure I watch the movie first before reading the film to prevent future disappointments. I guess I'm just really waiting for the right push to read Ready Player One. Did the movie stay loyal to the book?

That's a really good tactic, I do it the other way round actually. I read the book first to criticize the movie or show to my hearts desire. The movie is not exactly quite like the book, the casting is acceptable but the plot is much more enhanced in the book.

I have seen the movie only. It was pretty good and the CGI was in point. Now that I know the story, reading the book seems like a chore.

I once did that but I end up feeling very disappointed about the book, that's why I decided to watch the movie first.

Thanks! I might finally get to read it soon.

Like I said the movie WAS pretty great in terms of casting and I agree the CGI was amazing too. But my point is the book is quite a bit different than the movie and no offense, better. But I'm not forcing anyone or something, its just a opinion.

"Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!"

Aragorn, lord of the rings.
