Ready Player Spielberg

Throughout the novel "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline, it takes place in a futuristic Oklahoma, focusing on an 18 year old boy named Wade Watts. A character with a sad life around him with school, and his family, but is able to escape within a digital virtual reality called The Oasis. There, he can be whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and with no limits. Making it a dream come true for a simulation to live in.
Throughout the novel, Wade hangs out with his friend Aech discuss about the games they played, while also talking about old movies. While this is occurring, Wade brings up a Steven Spielberg while talking about classic movies. Being that the movie will be directed by Spielberg, I thought of it as an ironic quote, and that gave me an idea for a script for the movie.
Maybe when Wade is going into The Oasis, he can work or act in a Spielberg movie, and work directly with Spielberg on his famous movies. Such as E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, and even his other movies.
This would work by having Wade enter the world through his Oasis goggles, and the scene would end by having him take them off.

Scene begins with Wade walking to his van, getting ready to go into the Oasis, then shuts the car door behind him.
Wade: Alright, time to go in. zoom into goggles while being put on.
Show transition of Wade's character forming on set.
Spielberg: WADE!
Wade: Mr. Spielberg, I, I, I.
Spielberg: Don't bother giving an excuse to why you're late, we have to film.
Wade then heads to the set where he will play the older brother in E.T.
Spielberg: Aaaannnd, ACTION!
Wade: Wait what? Uh, E - Elliot, why are you keeping this thing here?
Kid Playing Elliot: He was lost, we have to keep him safe, so no one tries to take him away.
E.T: Huuumannn.
Kid Playing Elliot: Michael, please keep this secret.
Wade: Uh, y-yeah okay, uh I don't really know what else to say.
Spielberg: CUT! (Walks up to Wade to talk) Alright listen Wade, I hired you to play the older brother in the movie, if you're not going to take this seriously, I will find someone else to do it. Your next line is "Just don't tell mom." Alright?
Wade: Okay right, sorry about that.
Scene ends with Wade finishing off the scene with the rest of the cast, then exits out of the Oasis.

Media: The Message is Clear

Media, can be the best of things, and it can be the worst of things. The way we as humans learn about the world we live in is through the media. From news, to social media, to observing it from our phones. Sometimes if we hear a piece of news that is unnatural to our beings, we look away, and try not to think about it. We have the ability to look past the harsh realities of the world, in favor to look forward to the more positive viewings. However it's because of our abilities to view the news we want to hear, and learn what we want to learn that we often fall behind to the rest of the world. Social media for example is how we view not only news, but how other people view it. Sometimes people can be overly dramatic when delivering "grave news" on their Facebook pages, but often it can be seen as overbearing to everyone browsing. Truly a nuisance. This can also be a way to think differently about the person you know. (Disastrous news article + Dramatic response = Overrea

A Voice in Graphic Narrative

Throughout the week, I've read both My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris, and Ghost World by Daniel Clowes. Both are graphic novels about characters lives, and are based on an abstract take on reality. Though Ghost world is more of a narrative novel, and Monsters is a graphic novel like a comic book, both tell stories of human emotion. In Ghost World the story follows two teenage girls Enid, and Rebecca as they graduated high school, and wonder what they will do for the rest of their lives. While pondering their futures, they also take the time to wander their town criticizing pop culture, and the people they meet. While their friendship is big, their bond is testes throughout the novel when Enid plans to move out of town to go to college. My Favorite Thing is Monsters focuses on a young girl named Karen Reyes as she discovers to her dismay that her neighbor was murdered. Conflicted, and curious Karen, and her mother try to cope with their friends, neighbors, and other ch

Godless: Long Form Television

The TV show I chose to watch was Netflix's Godless, a Western drama about living in the Old West during the mid 1880's. Throughout the show it follows numerous characters as they live their lives throughout the Wild West, and how they live their lives around the world. From criminals, to wealthy business tycoons, to sheriffs, every character in the show has a story to tell. One thing that stood out during the show for me was the way many of the characters broke their norms from the average stereotypes we associate with from the Wild West. In fact I would say in many ways, the women in the show are the real main characters. From how they act, to their positions in the world, and the more we learn about everyone. The show also breaks tradition of typical Western Drama entertainment as a lot of the stories told in each episode are honest in the way their characters act, and talk to each other. The main story of the show follows Roy Goode, an outlaw on the run from his former bos
