GAMER

This movie is stunningly terrible but I really want to discuss its numerous plot holes and heavy handed misogyny! Did anyone else see it??? Most reviews I have read don't even attempt to discuss the lolstory. And yes, at the end it says "Game Over" ><

holy fuck somebody saw this movie

1) I was durnk*
2) Extract was sold out

* it didnt help :(

If you die watching Gamer YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE

gonna see this if I can manage to swing it for free. expectations are pretty rock-bottom, no matter how much I liked Crank (and I'm even fans of both Dexter and Kyra Sedgwick)

Gamer is a 2009 science fiction action thriller film written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. The film stars Gerard Butler as an unwilling participant in an online game in which participants can control human beings as players. Gamer was released in North America and the United Kingdom on September 4, 2009.

Has this had much press in the UK? I seem to have slept on it.

feturing Milo Ventimiglia as Rick Rape, according to wiki.

how the hell does your agent get you to sign on as Ricky Rape?

more to the point, why would a scrawny dude as allergic to shirts as Milo Ventimiglia agree to be in a movie with shirtless Gerard Butler

Rick Rape?

you meet him shortly after the twin sisters "Kumdumpstas"

more like lamer i am thinking

this was good

don't try it

: o

I'm going to go all morbius on this and say I don't need to see this to know it is bad

this was good

wht did morbius ever know abt anything

no you see i am taking the morbs approach of condemning the unknown. altho i am sure he will not raise the banner for gamer but that is beside the point

cool

actually pretty good

it was

neveldine & taylor are the noughties' verhoeven; hope someone gives them a superhero licence to mess w/next

wtf how was this good at all??? boring/nonsensical action sequences are completely unforgivable in a movie that is so shitty all around.

u were drunk when you saw it buddy

did u not like crank/crank: high voltage either?

how did this not make sense bnw

So bad, perversely worth watching for lols though.

But what an accurate picture of the future internet: The whole thing has turned into chatroulette meets facebook meets counterstrike with more boobs. Also obese shut-ins don't want to meet/go out/have sex with attractive women, they want to *be* them.

Also, apart from Six Feet Under (ironically) can Michael C Hall play a character that doesn't appear to be flamingly gay?

let me know when this is on netflix streaming

get a room u guys

noooo ILF is just too full of hate

Indeed, Gamer is absolutely contemporary; no film since at least Southland Tales has said anywhere near as much about the world we actually live in today. Gamer is one of those rare films that truly dares to be (in the Lenin phrase I like to quote) “as radical as reality itself.”

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

couldn't make it past the first few paragraphs of that

this movie was honestly pretty indefensible (i mean even less so than super guilty pleasure Crank), but amusing. Michael C. Hall seemed to be the only one who understood what kind of movie he was really in

Only managed to watch about 40 mins of it before I gave up. Can't remember where I read it, but the review that said "this film tries to condemn the commercialisation of violence by making a commercial violent movie" was right.

The AV Club has a bit of fun with it: http://www.avclub.com/articles/gamer,42679/

against all expectations i enjoyed this. best to just not care about the story tho

This AV Club is kinda enjoyable, I wont compare it to some gay chatroulette in term of fun, but it's still pretty close ;)
Nice find !

wow, that is some random spam

Wait, are they implying that you're not going to get an eye full of dick opening Chatroulette and an entirely separate service is necessary to fill this niche? When did this happen?
