Ah A film centered on the internal and endless struggle of all humans. Is my current glass prescription strong enough, or should I go to the optometrist and see if I need to get a stronger prescription.

It's about the time that a company gave an entire town mercury poisoning, and the photographer who exposed it.

I remember my cousin complaining sometime back about shots of men peeing. Independence Day was one I remember her complaining about, but at the time she had a list and started rattling them off.

Tom hanks’ thing is peeing in his movies right? If memory serves he pees in Forrest gump,and in Green mile he can’t pee until the magic man sucks the blockage out,that’s how it happened right?

Like, the first act sets it up as like Nightmare on Elm Street with a video game, with the characters dying in the way they die in the game, but then by the second act, people are just dying randomly and it entirely forgets there's a video game in the third act while it focuses on a New Orleans ghost.

Oh man, I remember renting this when I worked at Hollywood Video. I literally don't remember anything else about it. But there was a knock off called Gamebox 1.0 or something equally dumb that was direct to video around the same time.

Oh god the cover is as bad I remembered

It's a very basic concept that speaks to all of humanity on a primal level. I don't think you can credit a single source for it.

It might be, this was 2006. But also this movie didn't seem to have much of an impact, I think its entire marketing budget was the one Game Informer story.

The best part is the Game Informer article said there would be an actual game based on the one in the movie for the DVD release and

Well

I never saw it, but I do remember GI mentioning in a fan mail response that they had made a mock-up cover issue about the titular game that was used as a prop/set dressing in the movie. Don't remember any article about it, though I do remember that the game footage shown in the trailer looked like it's graphics were outclassed by Resident Evil.

surprised to hear that it drops the video game concept entirely late in the plot, though. You'd think that a third act about needing to "hack" the game or some dumb CSI-tier understanding of how video games work would be obvious for this kind of poo poo.

I remember reading the comic strip 'COMPUTER WARRIOR' in 1985 which ran on this as a central concept

The wiki page is slightly incorrect - you only got sent to the 'nightmare zone' on losing once you had proved yourself by winning some games, losing before then just meant you were dead IRL

I didn't remember the name of the movie, but I remember very frequently seeing a commercial for a movie where a character utters that exact phrase. I always thought it felt very on the nose, explaining a concept we've all seen hundreds of times as if it were a new thing. I guess it must've been this.

“また遊んであげるわ!”
The main thing that stood out to me about Stay Alive was that they used a mythologized version of Elizabeth Báthory as the in-universe game's Big Bad. I think that combined with the "YOU DIE IN THE GAME, YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE!!" concept was enough to vaguely unsettle my 14-year-old brain when it came out but like. In retrospect it was definitely B-movie tier

Aphrodite

'If you die in the game, you die for real' is the movie quote and 'life' kind of got added on the end there by repetition. Also apparently it's not even in the movie, just the trailer.

I mean, I know it's not a film that's ever had particularly good art linked to it, but ouch. I like the non-backwards reflection in the 20? 60? year old Steve Martin's glasses.

Steve Martin has been old my entire life. He has not aged a day.

E: I guess he wears glasses now
