I would like everybody who's complaining about all the pop culture references to remember those complaints next time they go to post a gif as a response.

Thank you.

Oscar knew he had to do the right thing. The list of names was in front of him, like high scores on a Galaga machine. What would Ferris Bueller do in a situation like this? It was clear, he would employ Jews at his factory. This would be the wildest trick pulled on the Nazis since Indiana Jones pretended to be a Scottish lord.

It was then that Oscar remembered Amon Göth. Colossal jerk, the Biff Tannen of Birkenau.

Oscar turned to Itzhak Stern.

"Got our work cut out for us this time, Mr. Stern Pinball. High stakes. No cheat codes. No extra lives."

"Oscar. The list IS life. Every life saved is a 1-up."

Funny thing, this kind of works. You at least have the clash of tone going for it as an interesting point. Better than RPO?

Every time I enter this thread, I'm hoping discussion has turned to Spielberg's work on the movie. It's interesting that he's shouting in the Volume again ala TinTin.

There have been articles this week saying he sought tech help from Cameron in how to shoot this film, but I have a feeling they've misunderstood and are referring to the time when Spielberg trained with Cameron for TinTin specifically.

But you know. Source material is shit. So let's talk for another 10 pages about that.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.

Wait... he wrote Fanboys as well? Holy shit this dude is a walking stereotype. Not surprised he's up in the Harry Knowles wheelhouse.

He also wrote another movie (I believe unproduced) about a 30-something gamer going to a gamer tournament to show he's the best gamer ever.

Easy solution: never use your real name, always change pseudonyms. It's like forums 101.

And to add to that, make every post as if everyone you will ever know may read it.

I'm really hoping for some Minority Report channeling for style, and it looks like we may see that with a bit more color.

And while I'd love for some tangential Cameron involvement, I'm going to assume you are most likely correct. He's been... busy lately. Unless Cameron has shared a few tricks from his tech crusade post Tintin?

Speaking of the internet, I can NOT WAIT for the buzzfeed and bleedingcool articles that will show me each and every Easter egg I missed for this movie.

So, about the Iron Giant:

If the Iron Giant is being USED by this kid as a means to win, I dont' know that I'm gonna like that.

Like, the Giant isn't a rock 'em sock 'em robot. The whole point of him is that he learns he isn't a gun. He is who he chooses to be.

So Cyclops chooses to pilot the Giant like Jaeger to win Wonka's factory or some shit? And I'm supposed to cheer for that?

Ehhhhhhhhh.

Geek culture does not have time to consider meaning. We must consume, like the Rancor in the movie Return of the Jedi, the third movie in the original Star Wars trilogy.

Bobby, you're doing it wrong. You're not supposed to absorb the meaning of the films you watched back then. You're supposed to quote the lines out of context endlessly.

Yeah, I kinda dozed off at the parts about the kid or something? A kid on a bike?

Anyway, this movie looks amazing, I recognized stuff I liked! It's like someone is finally making things FOR ME! It's being made FOR ME!

havent read this outside of maybe a few pages worth of excerpts and it was one of the dumbest things i have ever heard of. just a cultureless list of shit that everybody knows. consumerism as a virtue, but not even real, deep, soulful consumerism, just a list of, again, shit that everybody knows. its a hollow and incoherent fantasy. it isn't science fiction. its logo porn. its coupon religion. its the final end state of bottom of the barrel postmodern consumerism, where we have decided life has no meaning because the meaning of life is consumption and consuming is in reality a fruitless endeavor. our only hope is that the next step after this pseudo intellectual cynicism is total material rejection.

That honestly looks like a ton of fun.

Some of the cool kids made fun of member berries and now everyone's jumping on that bandwagon.

I sometimes wonder if most young white men only understand the world around them when South Park explains it to them.

Iron Giant isn't even an 80s movie, what the hell
Click to expand...

People have to stop assuming it's all 80s, the book is riddled with post 80s geek cool stuff. Firefly for instance, and I think Patrick Rothfuss gets name dropped too. There's also a lot of 70s stuff mixed in there too.
