Ready Player Two: interview with Ernest Cline

It’s the thinking man’s Family Guy!

That Spielberg, a supposed worshipper at the altar of fine cinema, chose to rob a generation of the singular experience of The Shining firsthand is unforgivable, IMO. Fortunately, the 14 yo Peas were profoundly impressed and rightly disturbed once I finally showed it for them. It’s hard to top a master.

Also: I’m still angry that the end of RP1 convinced me I had to give Rush’s 2112 a thorough listen. Ugh. (with apologies to all of the Rush lovers here on BBS; it is there we part ways).
