Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[gnarlygninja]

I used to be a big fan of Ernest Cline; I also used to be an insufferable twit. These two facts are inherently related

I had already been exposed to his poetry before I knew of RP1 so even in my peak insufferable twit days I did not like him.

I can’t underscore how much I dislike RP1, both the writing and its popularity alongside so many other worthy books.

I actually enjoyed RP1. But I enjoyed it as pulp, not as literature. Like a Roger Corman movie or ticket-spitting carnival game. Fun for what it is, but I don't bother making a comparison to things like The Martian, Lawrence of Arabia, or Shadow of the Collosus. They may technically be the same category, but they also just aren't.
