The ending was poo poo. The guy bails on his daughter, yet again AND never bothers to get that woman's mother out of North Korea. He's a lazy sack of poo poo.

I haven't watched anything that has aped Battle Royale yet except Battle Royale 2 which sucked.

I like Battle Royale and the girl in the training video voices Asuka in Evangelion and I like how the cool dude calls the main character and his girl "pot lid and binoculars".

battle royale isn't really one of his movies, he's just in it. i think, anyway. the bit i mentioned before feels like something he probably came up with, because it's a sudden interjection of deadpan absurdism into this pretty standard japanese melodrama tone.

good points all around

Kinji Fukasu directed Battle Royale, and he made Yakuza movies in the 70s that are extremely hectic, violent, noisy, and fast paced. They're called Battles Without Honor and Humanity and yea the Kill Bill song took its title from these movies. They're really really loving good. I'd compare the pace to a Safdie Brothers movie, but it's more violent.

No. Running Man is criminals getting killed with the false hope of freedom for the public to watch. Squid Game is poor people who are desperately in need of $$$ getting suckered into a game where 1/2 of them die without knowing the stakes in order to amuse bored billionaires.

I feel like I have more options than that. I think I might sit outside and drink cheap beer and feed birds. At night I'll cower inside and give into my primal fear - imagining all sorts of monsters prowling in the shadows ready to tear my throat out and drag me off into the bushes to consume.

And what the hell is free guy? Should I avoid watching that too?

I think he can act. It's just that he's being typecast as himself these days. Similarly to Samuel L. Jackson.

Might be the case. Never been blessed to see him in anything with range.

I'm not an arbiter of range, but I think Definitely Maybe, Safe House, and The Voices are worth a watch (that last one is pretty hosed up though).

Edit: that is, worth a watch for different flavours of Reynolds.

squid game was fun to watch. the best character was the crazy lady!

the main character and all the other victims of the game are gambling addicts in one form or another, bent on self destruction. they all lose absolutely everything including the main character. his decision at the end pissed me off a lot (i have a daughter that age) but it was inevitable based on everything we have been shown about the guy.
