It was bad, but it was fun bad vs bad bad I can't believe how many people said it was awesome though. It was like a C- movie at best.

Great writing, players in an MMO were constantly surprised at abilities and power ups in their own game, even when it was cross promotional drek like Star wars and Fortnite. Just Oscar material

the new Reno 911 on The Roku Channel is good. pretty much just the same as always but with more of a "gently caress the police" attitude

Finished "Peacemaker". Add this to my very short list of "superhero stuff I genuinely enjoyed". I even thought the budget Deadpool was good. Junkie Disease posted:Free Guy is awful I refuse to watch the film because of the title. NOBODY says or has said "Free Guy". It's always "Extra Life" or something similar.

Is that actually what the title is supposed to mean? Jesus. I never thought that before or after watching it. It's kind of a baffling title for a movie. It's not a fun play on words or video game tropes and it doesn't invoke any of the themes going on in his movie. he's just a character named guy who becomes free.

Polygon actually tracked down the etymology and yeah it was a regularly used term. 40 years ago when you scored high enough to get a free play in Pac Man.

It seems like they had a bunch of ideas for action scenes left over from Ready Player One and couldn't figure out a believable setting for the action scenes they wanted to use, so they made Free Guy. There's some individual parts that are fun in a vacuum and even some neat ideas, but they don't connect very well. It's like a movie version of an internet meme.

It was written by the dude that WB had writing a Matrix sequel before Lana came back on board and jettisoned his script. I don't think it's a big stretch to guess it's a repurposed story concept that Reynolds turned the Wacky Dial up on.

Just finished Barry on HBO, and wow, such an incredible series. Stephen Root is amazing but so is the entire cast. NoHo Hank might be my favorite character in any show currently.

No gamer gives a poo poo about pre-crash gaming. It’s all lame as gently caress compared to what came after. You don’t see gamers going Gaga about early 80s arcade releases on NSO or similar services. Hollywood has this weird fetish toward “the Pac-Man era”.

Jose Oquendo posted:This is definitely not true. Retro gaming, even pre-crash stuff, is popular. Yeah but I think the target audience for Free GUY is modern gamer youth subculture. Like, it's really shooting for people who are into twitch streamers and youtube and poo poo. So naming it after a phrase that I, a 40 year old who actually played pacman in arcades, along with basically everyone else itt had never heard seems extra weird.

"Free Guy" is another movie that squanders the opportunity for a zillion jokes about video games that would be funny to both gamers and everyone else, but instead just seems like it was written by someone who only knows about Grand Theft Auto from what they saw on the news and that's about it. I was also surprised at how bad it is.

Free Guy strikes me as a movie for the 45+ crowd that only knows about modern gaming and streaming culture from exploitative news reports on how dumb and dangerous the things their kids like are. At the very least it was written by that kind of person.

It's always amusing to me despite video games being so huge how the film industry is always "how do you do fellow kids?" with gamers compared to films centered around music, sports, cars, or even tech. The closest film to getting it right was "Scott Pilgrim vs the World" and even that felt off at times. Just little stuff like Scott saying Final Fantasy III instead of Final Fantasy VI.
