Gamer (The Movie)

Yeah, that's a good call. ;)

I just watched Death Race recently, so the "get x amount of wins and go free" for entertainment seemed familiar. Even the part where they remind the guy about his family for inspiration. The video game connection for Death Race wasn't literal, but driving over weapon icons for ammo sure had a Twisted Metal feel to it.

Just finished watching it a little bit ago...wasn't too bad but like a lot of modern action movies, the camera cuts are so freaking fast you can barely see what's going on. That drives me nuts. Especially now when everyone touts how great movies now look in HD. Who could fuging tell when poo is whipping by so fast that you don't have time to really look at it. Even the "Society" scenes were quick cuts even though they weren't really high action scenes. They put a ton of info on the screen, like the screen names which I'm sure were meant to be funny, but damn if you could read more than one because the camera cuts to another angle.

    • Cooter, Kurb, others have passed on to glory….  Praise be.
    • Oh good for them! Hope this is the start of a long happy time in their lives here.
    • There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
