"Do you ever feel evil?"

This movie cuts right into the nerve where that vulnerability of poverty sits, the uncertainty baked into life itself, and how badly it hurts, and how badly it can make people hurt each other. God it's good.

Ready Player One is a giant maybe-ironic self-immolation, much like Jurassic World but maybe a bit more brutal in its effort to kill itself.

It's fun in that theme park way Spielberg can be when he's on autopilot, but it also reads as a damning cudgel against pop nostalgia corporate culture itself. I feel like it exemplefies the latest batch of post- post-modern blockbuster which seems to wear its resistance to its existence on its sleeve. It's a demonic scream for help from the center of the abyss, and it's legitimately entertaining.

David Lynch's grand masterpiece. If this counts, it's the greatest film of 2017 by a long shot.
