I wonder how soul crushing it must be for them that the trailer for Ready Player One uses Rush. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE71JOvLPvE

Kefin Mahon is a guest on the podcast again for Rush Revere and the American Revolution, a tale of time travel, the American Revolution, and wondering who greenlit that disturbing Rush Limbaugh head on the cover.

I just found/discovered this and I'm really enjoying it. I've listened to only episode about books I've actually read so far (Timeline, Left Behind, DaVinci Code) which other episodes are top recommendations, even if you haven't read the book? E: Nevermind, just read the first two posts in the thread, there's some good ones!

Edit: Aw hell, I have to recommmend some of my other favorites too. Flowers in the Attic (deeply icky Gothic horror-melodrama) List of the Lost (novel by Morrissey that is as pompous as it is short) Sass Girls X (batshit self-published masturbation session) Level 26: Dark Origins (loving hardcore man, can you handle it?) And a special bonus episode of entries in a bad writing contest they held to celebrate NaNoWriMo. Sham bam bamina! fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Jul 25, 2017 |

Oh, come on. All the others are in jeans and sneakers and have big childish smiles on their faces, while she has a much more adult wardrobe and expression. It's bizarre how much she sticks out from the rest, and even if "sexy" was too strong a word for it, she sticks out in ways that seem to show a different mindset from the others. Maybe I was wrong to bring it up, and I don't think that the artist is actually a creep, but I did get a real, unpleasant impression from it.

We know what gets Rush Limbaugh off at the end of this." "Rarely is it a good sign in a book when a high-school teacher - or, in this case, a middle-school teacher - looks at a cheerleader and says, 'My jaw dropped.' " "Yeah, that's a little frightening. The American Beauty reference earlier was spot-on."

RPO isn't just 80's nostalgia though it is primarily that, it's also got a bunch of other nerd references to make you feel like "hey I know that thing". I remember Stargate and World of Warcraft being explicitly called out, among many, many others that it wasn't worth remembering.

Yea in that tweet going around that shows one page just full of references, he mentions that he watched both Star Wars trilogies (original and prequels) so it's clearly not limited to just 80s stuff.

In the actual book, it's not just one page, it's a two-page spread that's entirely a list of media the main character has consumed.

Prokhor Zakharov posted:Why the gently caress is the Iron Giant in a movie about 80s nostalgia? Also why go to all the trouble of making a film whose base appeal is almost entirely on the fact that it's crammed full of pop culture characters and then use such a desaturated and murky visual style that you can't even see half of them? I guess that generic Hollywood blockbuster aesthetic is still better than the awful faux 80s Kung Fury look but it's still bad.

There is, at one point in the book, a list of the favorite science fiction authors, either of the narrator or of the Richard Garriot/Howard Hughes/Willy Wonka hybrid the narrator might as well be the reincarnation of. It is specifically referenced as a list of 80's authors. John Scalzi is on the list.
