I hate being so busy and not being able to work on my projects.  Still, I finally got the next installment of ‘Neitherworld Problems’ ready for your enjoyment.   As a bonus, I added my original rough draft that I made, uhhhh, at least five years ago.

Official Warner Brothers' Ready Player One - Dreamer Trailer

https://youtu.be/kQ7R4nlME78 Spoilers below for Ready Player One Ready Player One is the apotheosis of a rising trend in film that we might refer to as “recognition cinema” — the phenomenon of trying to please an audience by including brief references to other pieces of fiction. It’s common in — though by no means restricted to — superhero movies, which will commonly drop hints or include cameos that demonstrate a connection to elements the viewers might remember from comic-book source material or separate movies in the same shared universe. Typically, such references are given some room to breathe so the crowd can go wild at the excitement of recognizing what the filmmakers are implying. Not so in Ready Player One. In Steven Spielberg’s latest picture, there are dozens upon dozens of pop-culture references in dialogue and mise-en-scène; so many that a single pair of human eyes is incapable of catching them all. Here, we’ve attempted to list as many of them as we could notice and scribble down in the darkened theater. Let us know in the comments if you find ones we missed, of which there are surely more than a few.

Today’s prompt “Truth or Scare” for Beetz N’ Deetz Week, presented me with the opportunity to work on one of my Neitherworld Problems comics. I’ve had this one waiting in the wings for a few years and didn’t have the chance to color and post it until now. Making these comics have been a blast and so are the prompts from @itsaship-literally

It’s common in — though by no means restricted to — superhero movies, which will commonly drop hints or include cameos that demonstrate a connection to elements the viewers might remember from comic-book source material or separate movies in the same shared universe. Typically, such references are given some room to breathe so the crowd can go wild at the excitement of recognizing what the filmmakers are implying. Not so in Ready Player One. In Steven Spielberg’s latest picture, there are dozens upon dozens of pop-culture references in dialogue and mise-en-scène; so many that a single pair of human eyes is incapable of catching them all. Here, we’ve attempted to list as many of them as we could notice and scribble down in the darkened theater. Let us know in the comments if you find ones we missed, of which there are surely more than a few.
