[1334.52 --> 1334.88] What do you think?
[1334.90 --> 1335.68] You still haven't seen it?
[1335.70 --> 1335.88] No.
[1336.06 --> 1337.56] I read the book a long time ago, but I haven't seen it.
[1337.58 --> 1338.04] Oh, okay.
[1338.92 --> 1340.66] There were some obvious flaws.
[1341.04 --> 1341.32] Okay.
[1341.32 --> 1343.46] I've actually heard very mixed reviews.
[1343.60 --> 1343.98] So I'm interested.
[1343.98 --> 1345.66] There were very obvious flaws.
[1345.66 --> 1353.66] Like they had a lot of fun with the idea of people in VR looking like complete idiots in real life.
[1354.14 --> 1354.58] Okay.
[1354.70 --> 1355.76] Do you care about spoilers?
[1356.36 --> 1357.36] No, because I read the book.
[1357.50 --> 1358.14] Okay, cool.
[1358.80 --> 1361.48] So during, and guys, I'll be pretty vague with this.
[1361.48 --> 1366.58] So during some kind of situation where a lot of people are charging in one direction.
[1367.06 --> 1367.14] Okay.
[1367.20 --> 1369.84] You probably know what point of the movie that is.
[1369.84 --> 1371.20] I've got a couple guesses, but mainly one.
[1372.92 --> 1380.24] There's a cutaway where they show the real world and everyone's in the real world wearing their headsets charging down the street.
[1380.90 --> 1381.06] Right?
[1381.56 --> 1381.82] Yeah.
[1382.58 --> 1383.14] Okay.
[1384.36 --> 1384.64] Yep.
[1384.64 --> 1388.32] So they conveniently ignore that.
[1388.46 --> 1390.96] And there's, so there's one part where someone gets like hit by something.
[1391.04 --> 1391.94] This is very early on.
[1392.00 --> 1396.02] Someone gets hit by something and that zeros out their account or whatever.
[1396.02 --> 1399.88] And they fall backwards off their couch in the real world.
[1401.16 --> 1406.12] And it kind of goes, okay, but what about the preceding five minutes when they were leaping around?
[1406.40 --> 1408.26] That wouldn't have worked in this living room.
[1408.40 --> 1411.16] So they, like, they took artistic liberties.
[1411.16 --> 1418.04] They had fun with the aspects of the concept that were convenient when it was convenient and just ignored it otherwise.
[1418.58 --> 1420.12] See, that's probably fine.
[1420.68 --> 1425.68] But it seemed self-aware enough to me that I was okay with it.
[1426.02 --> 1426.14] Yeah.
[1426.14 --> 1436.94] They also, they, I think that something that some people, whether they like to admit it to themselves or not, probably did not appreciate about it is that it did poke fun at gamers.
[1437.60 --> 1438.06] Okay.
[1438.16 --> 1454.64] In a pretty, if you are, if you are even remotely capable of reading the subtext of a book or, you know, an email or a movie, you're, like, you're pretty aware of it.
[1454.64 --> 1458.68] Like, the badass guy that's, like, the enforcer.
[1460.82 --> 1462.88] And this is, again, this is very early on.
[1463.06 --> 1464.34] The actual person, I'm assuming.
[1464.56 --> 1467.14] The actual person has, like, kind of a chronic neck thing.
[1467.14 --> 1479.90] And, like, so is probably not in great health, but, like, lives in this escapist, you know, dream world where he's, like, the keeper of the mighty artifacts or whatever.
[1480.18 --> 1480.36] Yeah.
[1480.56 --> 1486.70] And so it's got kind of a, it's got a scent of, you know, the South Park World of Warcraft guy.
[1486.88 --> 1487.22] Okay.
[1487.40 --> 1488.12] About it.
[1488.34 --> 1488.58] Yeah.
[1488.66 --> 1490.90] And the whole movie does.
[1491.54 --> 1491.96] Okay.
[1492.68 --> 1493.48] Things I liked.
[1493.48 --> 1498.82] They casted just normal people, which I thought was really cool.
[1499.24 --> 1505.52] The love interest is a, like, moderately attractive normal chick.
[1506.32 --> 1513.88] And the guy, the hero, is, like, I actually can't tell if he's moderately attractive.
[1514.00 --> 1515.04] I have kind of a hard time.
[1515.12 --> 1515.34] Yeah.
[1515.46 --> 1515.92] With that.
[1516.14 --> 1517.82] He's not repugnant.
[1518.12 --> 1519.54] Like, I can tell that.
[1519.54 --> 1523.12] Which, for guys, seems to usually be, like, you're kind of fine.
[1523.28 --> 1523.48] Yeah.
[1523.82 --> 1525.00] As far as I can tell.
[1525.14 --> 1530.00] As far as I could tell, he was just, like, a pretty normal dude.
[1532.08 --> 1539.38] Apparently, she's supposed to be, like, super unattractive in the book.
[1541.00 --> 1541.02] So.
[1541.12 --> 1542.02] If I remember correctly, yeah.
[1542.02 --> 1546.94] The best they could manage for that was she has a birthmark on her face, which is interesting.
[1547.12 --> 1553.26] So, my daughter has a birthmark on her face, which, if that's sort of the Hollywood standard
[1553.26 --> 1559.22] for really ugly, I guess sort of has a bit of a personal meaning to me.
[1559.66 --> 1559.78] Yeah.
[1559.96 --> 1562.02] Apparently, the lead was the...
[1564.58 --> 1565.32] Oh.
[1566.56 --> 1566.94] Sorry.
[1567.02 --> 1567.40] One second.
[1567.52 --> 1567.92] No worries.
[1568.24 --> 1568.72] Well, okay.
[1568.72 --> 1571.08] Apparently, the lead is about as attractive as me.
[1571.92 --> 1572.20] So.
[1573.12 --> 1573.88] That's a shame.
[1574.12 --> 1575.12] Wait, did she...
[1575.12 --> 1575.94] No, that's this.
[1576.04 --> 1576.38] Okay.
[1576.60 --> 1576.78] No.
[1577.04 --> 1578.26] I was like, whoa.
[1581.32 --> 1581.68] Okay.
[1581.90 --> 1582.26] All right.
[1583.66 --> 1584.02] Anyway.
[1584.92 --> 1585.36] So.
[1585.58 --> 1585.90] So.
[1586.28 --> 1587.62] I forget where I was going with this.
[1587.68 --> 1587.86] So.
[1588.64 --> 1591.60] I turned my brain off and had fun.
[1592.20 --> 1592.40] For.
[1592.62 --> 1592.76] Okay.
[1592.90 --> 1593.38] Two hours.
[1593.56 --> 1593.76] Okay.
[1594.16 --> 1594.60] But.
[1595.00 --> 1596.18] I can do that with movies.
