Last night I watched the end of Ready Player One. I'd put in two sessions of about an hour apiece already so I figured I might as well finish it. It was super uninspiring and trite with a bunch of nerd pop culture pasted all over everything. I enjoyed the book for the latter, but it had some of the former in it too so the movie result is maybe not too surprising. Spotting the bits of nerdery in the background was more enjoyable than watching the action, for sure.
After it was done I fired up No Country for Old Men because I wanted to watch something good and I hadn't seen it since it was in the theaters over 10 years ago. The nihilistic elements make me squirm more these days but the movie is still fantastic. Also, drinking Coors Banquet in chub bottles while I watched it felt like some kind of synergy was going on.
I thought Tommy Lee Jones was just your reaction to Ready Player One. 😂
