“t gets worse. Despite Ready Player Two being packed with ‘80s pop culture references like the previous novel, this time Cline felt it necessary to bemoan certain aspects of the decade he so lovingly paid tribute to. The characters lament the “lily-white landscape” on the virtual planet of Shermer, Ill., (which houses recreations of John Hughes movies) and note the “serious diversity problem” “like the whole of ‘80s cinema.” The homophobic graffiti on Bender’s locker in The Breakfast Club also gets called out.”
Don’t you just love it when they dump on better and more beloved & memorable movies than they can even so much as dream of?
*dream of making?
My Bad, just realised it was a new book not an actual movie sequel.
