I was a projectionist when that movie came out. As a consequence, there are parts of that movie that I watched and parts of the audio I couldn’t ignore dozens of times.
Sometimes that didn’t make me hate the movies that came out when I was a projectionist.
I guess it just means I’m not a big nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake guy because I’m Gen X and I didn’t like Ready Player One either. The book was marginal and the movie was awful. I’m not sure why I even watched the movie after reading the book. I guess mostly because of The Shining part, which, meh.

You can look at banned book lists. There are plenty of banned books which are banned simply because there are queer themes. Some because they talk about race in a frank way. The top 10 most challenged books of 2022 include books by John Green and Toni Morrison. A Handmaid’s Tale also often pops up on banned books lists because we can’t have girls learning about what fascists have planned for them.
By the way, your local public library should have all of these books, but if they don’t, you can either request the library get them or get them through inter-library loan.
I’m 46. I’m married, but if I was single, I find women near my age more attractive than much younger women. The sophistication and poise that can come with age is more attractive to me. I’m not saying I would kick either of the above women out of my bed, but I’d much rather be with someone in their 40s.
“Let us tell you the advantages of adding your uniqueness to our own. Have you thought of what will happen if you don’t join the collective before you die?”
I guess we have different interpretations. It’s always seemed like it was “tricked you into listening to that awful song!” to me. But maybe I’m the outlier?
