This movie was stupid. This is was actually not too bad of a movie until the end. It's just so unrealistic that I couldn't stand it. Really, it would have actually been somewhat believable that this was all a game if it wasn't for the "bullets." That shit actually made holes in things, broke glass, etc. And to believe that it was all "a game" is unbelievable. One of those bullets could have easily killed him, because they weren't just blanks...

Anyway, it seems too out there and outlandish to believe. There is conspiracy and then there is this... It's just too far off the edges of reality. It's not believable.

The bullets were my main sticking points, but there are other things obviously like what if he didn't walk off the building at the right place, etc. What if he didn't get out of the taxi and drowned? (Btw, getting out that situation is very difficult0

You're complaining about a movie being unrealistic?

I liked it. Unlike you, I'm not always looking for realism in every movie I watch. I want to be entertained and this movie did just that.

god damn why does anyone respond to these posts of his? He's a glutton for abuse and an attention whore. Everything we can say simply tickles him.

You understand there is a thread about movies and shows you watched right? You could have posted there.

I thought it was a stupid movie. My wife liked it though. To each their own.

About

The Game is one of the simplest distortions of game logic ever invented; by which simply thinking about The Game causes one to lose.

Due to the futility and inevitable loss, The Game could be viewed as a statement of the human condition; that is to say, humankind’s struggle against fundamental laws of nature. THE GAME results in a double negative scenario where trying to not do something is the catalyst for said event.
Origins

THE GAME was invented in 1977 by members of the Cambridge University Science Fiction Society (CUSFS)

This example from Know Your Meme actually relates to this thread

A niche execution of THE GAME has come into being in the form of non sequiturers. Essentially a story will be posted where the only goal will be to capture the reader’s attention. At the end of the story however, the true goal is revealed

Example:

You will never believe what happened to me this morning! I was waking up and doing my morning routine, eat breakfast, take a shower, brush my teeth, that sort of thing. When I was about to get changed, I saw something in my window that looked a little strange. I went to look and there he was, a man was staring through my window on a ladder!

Just as soon as he knew I saw him he started climbing down the ladder and I ran for the door outside. On my way out I grabbed the bat I keep under my bed. When I got outside I saw him running down my block and I began chasing after him. We ran for nearly 10 minutes and reached some woods. Then from there we ran another 15 until I lost sight of him.

Lost, in the middle of the woods, chasing a peeping Tom. I knew something like this could only happen to me.

The search seemed over when a bit deeper in the woods I heard the man scream. I ran out there and saw him sitting on the ground a good distance away from me. As I got closer I could see he had gotten his foot stuck in a bear trap! Actually I’m not so sure it was a bear trap because it was a bit smaller but you get the point. I walked up to him with my bat and said the sweetest one liner I could think up on the spot.

“Game over fucker” and I hit him in the face with my bat. He began to sob a bit as he held his bleeding nose, but to my surprise he began to laugh. This startled me so I hit him again and said “what’s funny lovely human!” and he said, “read the first word of all the last paragraphs.”

Simply put, trident's terrible posting skills are an attempt to draw your attention to the fact that you are playing the game and you just lost.
