@@The-jr9ik its facts, you know there are some ppl on games that use racial slurs and say things like "ez" and i dont see why it would be different on this game case
This movie has an insane B-list cast… - The kid is Percy Jackson - Fucking Ludacris - Starkiller from the force unleashed as the child custody guy - 300 man - Funny old spice man - Dexter Jesus Christ
“Pussyblender,” and “Myballshurt,” sound like actual names in a game. I feel like I’d be shot by a sniper while playing some CoD, or killing them in Warzone and then getting called numerous slurs.
@@qbertking1910hmm lets see..:communism, exploiting the common people, lot of propaganda, corrupted and propaganda filled media, should i continue? but i suppose you like being exploited to death. you know, financially and therefore literally. disgraceful commie
7:12 When I saw this movie, my take from this guy wasn't that he was an "average gamer", but instead rather the concept of the warning "you don't know who you're actually talking to on the internet", taken to an absolute extreme. The guy's got a great looking girl as his avatar, fooling the people he interacts with online, but behind her lies a different person entirely. Like the old saying, "online, all men are men, all women are men, and all girls are undercover FBI agents". Also, not gonna lie, I massively respect the actor for taking on this role. The auditioning went "Hey, we need someone to play a fat disgusting outcast of society, who serves as a deterrent to the rest of humanity" and this guy just went yep, I can do that.
BTW I checked and they indeed make pistachio butter. Would be even better if these two just ad-libbed the pistachio butter part and mr. David really didn't know they make it.
Ok so the person who wins 30 games is likely the most violent person there right? So that means that they are letting only the most violent people out of prison, wat
I get the ping idea, but I also feel like someone with zero fear of death- experience with shooting and no pain thresh-hold would still have the advantage. Terry might be playing a badass serial killer but surely he doesn't have experience fighting in a warzone of fearless solders/ surely he has like... some natural reactions that would actually put him at a disadvantage XD
You're telling me that Slayers can be liberated just based on how good their gamer is? Wouldn't this just mean that some incorrigible serial killer would be released all willy-nilly because he was controlled by a 15 year-old who spends 12 hours a day gaming?
Yes. No one would support that. But in the movie Slayers is justified because the US is going bankrupt and the profits from Slayers funds the entire USA prison system.
Imagine reading the script, seeing "ping" and doing a sound effect and no one corrects you and you keep that take because no one knows anything about games.
@Maurits Gaming is widely accepted nowadays. People just can't agree on what "gaming" means. My Mum got wierded out when I told her she's a gamer for being addicted on Words With Friends. Lots of "gamers" woud be upset about being associated with my middle aged, mobile-gaming mother. Such is life.
It's sort of telling when something like Wreck-It-Ralph pays more adequate homage to games culture than something that goes through great length to pack in all the visual stereotypes imaginable. "Gamer" isn't much more than the product of non-savvy producers thinking that your average consumer plays Call of Duty eighteen hours per day and somehow has no concept of self-care. It doesn't help that Neveldine and Taylor thrive on shocking imagery, so even *if* some basic starting research was performed, it was obvious they would've gone for the overt sexuality and violence of the medium's most popular representatives at the time.
We used to watch it a lot at my boarding high school. It's a shit movie, but has all the mindless testosterone filled violence teenage boys need to enjoy something
NPC lives on tiktok, the trendings, the stuff people do on cam for money.... shows that Gamer was ahead of it's time. A true display of our society plus some nonsense that make it funny
it's like batman saying that he doesn't kill criminals, and then proceeds to punch one to a point where all their bones are broken and they're motionless
It's basically a dollar store version of the Running Man starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Except without any of the charm, inventive killers, or Richard Dawson as the charismatic evil host.
Idk if the shot at 12:51 has been edited for this video or if that's how it was intended in the original film but I actually do kinda like how creative it is. Looks like something right out a scene from Sin City or a comic book where they introduce a new mystery character and their face is in shadow and shaded out. Could have used a more aggressive angle and exaggerated Terry's features to make him seem more intimidating.
With how many good actors are in this movie I’m convinced the only reason they all said yes was because they thought this was supposed to be a meme or something
Shibuya Crossing in Japan, the most famous crosswalk in the world. Behind the scenes reveals the Tokyo drift scene was an elaborate set posing as the real place as it’s impossible to shut down the crossing for filming, and just as hard to get filming permission from the Japanese government.
oh jesus im getting the flash backs my bf at the time (we had dated most of high school and broke up soon after this movie actually...lmao) anyway the dude loved this movie cinematic genius he called it and no, im not lying, he thought this was on the level of blue velvet his fukkin words watched this thing on repeat, and i kinda just grimaced through it, we roleplayed alot then and he started changing the worlds and character to fit the themes, a lot of the games he'd play he'd start spinning these theories about them being connected to this world so he could make more rps outta them with friends and stuff it was weird all for a very subpoor movie i just i couldnt understand it, still cant, and seriously i can recite this movie scene for scene and you just need to play me the opening act i hate it help me
@@MamaMOB Nah Tumblr is more organised than this. At least on Tumblr you feel like your high in a good way, but this movie makes me feel like a sad drunk.
@@tamasrehany6532 its because they did. Unless they Just so happened to come up with deathrow inmates beeing used for tests for a month with the promise of Freedom before having them killed. You know. As you do.
The scene in Castle's base is exactly the one scene of the movie I remember. And obviously all the scenes in Slayers are grey. it was the style at the time. Right at the time when Battlefield went onto the Frostbite engine with Bad Company and Call of Duty had Modern Warfare 2 released. Every shooter tried to be dark and gritty and color graded at the time.
Right? and the stuff all over your screen, yes its using the idea of game play HUD. Has Joesippi ever played an FPS? I really enjoyed this movie. In lines of Pacific Rim, is it "good" no, but is it really enjoyable, absolutely!
@@jamesd3874 he misunderstood the entire plot and i sincerely worried that he somehow managed to be insulted by the fat slob eating waffles and that this review was some sort of personal revenge. If someone tells me in the day and age of vr that trying to fuck everything that moves and naming yourself "myballshurt" isnt absolutely typical for our scene i am worried whether or not this guy has any contact to modern games. Also gamer is a future dystopia and they predicted the trends VERY well
@@LeOssiTrollterrible yeah, and all the "offensive" and overly sexual stuff makes a lot of sense since that's how the voice chats were in games back in the day. I wonder if Joeseppi has ever played a public CoD match
I enjoyed the movie. It was very original in many ways and it's satirical which some people don't seem to get. Look at how obsessed people became over MMORPG's, how much really money was transferred around, people actually doing prostitution in online games and now look at how they are trying to push virtual reality and AI technology. There are even "virtual girlfriends" you can have on your phone now, talk with, train. The scary part is how much the movie was not only honest about the past and present but predicted the future.
I thought it was pretty entertaining, too, I love me some mindless straight-up action once in a while. The one main gripe I had was with the main character, who you'd expect have some understanding and respect of people being controlled as avatars, seeing as he was one of them. Nonetheless, when coming into Society, he hurts and (I think) even kills NPC people who he knows full well have no control over what they're doing, just because they happen to be in his way. And when he reaches the NPC guy who's putting the moves on his wife (against his will), he straight up just murders him by breaking his spine. It felt like a classic "being violent for the sake of being violent" movie move.
20:36 I mean during the Gladbeck hostage crisis a journalist got into the car with the hostage takers and gave directions just to get a bonus so there has been crazier things that have happened than that.
Maybe I'm really getting old, but I had no idea who Ludicrous was and his characters actors name is announced like it's a big deal, but in the scene a few seconds later I instantly recognize actor John Leguizamo who is just referred to as an unnamed "pointless side character.. with not even the characters name being mentioned. LOL! I guess fame is in the eye of the beholder.
Wait, he murdered rick who was being controlled by another sweaty redditor, because the guy controlling Rick was trying to have sex with his wife!? wtf man. Unless I skipped something he just snapped the spine of an innocent man…
@@bennettr9218 Well then you can argue that ready player one is a better version of this movie and took the concept since this came out in 2009. Please mind that I'm taking your word for it since,while I have seen this movie, I have never seen ready player one.
I have to imagine the players are sens capped to prevent these cases OR each player must spend hours calibrating their slayers and possibly days of free run/gun training for the slayer to adapt to the "strings" and for the player to get a proper feel for any latency issues. though, I also have to imagine it would be fucking hilarious to see that in person lul like, would the head turn too fast for the body and eventually just spin off in a gory spiral? would the torso be the cutoff point? what happens to the human brain if its mixed up at a Mouse DPI of 4200 and in game sens of 200.00?

Billionaire: Controls humans against their will and gets rich doing it Activist group: "We don't like you because you might some day eventually control people against their will"
Well, presumably, most of it was supposedly consensual. People in Slayer and Society signed up for this. But of course, he wouldn't be the bad guy if he didn't also do it against their will.
As far as capitalism is concerned, nothing is against your will as long as you agreed to it for money. If you’re stuck in that mindset, any boss’s treatment of their employees is ethically unassailable. After all, the workers agreed to the boss’s terms of employment; if anything bad happens to them, it’s their fault for accepting a bad agreement. Capitalist ideology is a hell of a drug
@@HobgoblinGirlboss that's only one side of the story. There's a reason for existing work councils. You can't only let money and competition make the rules or else you have to build rescue nets to keep your employees from jumping off buildings.
All I see when terry crews is on screen is him saying “NINENINE” and the clip of him shooting the pinyada(I forgot how to spell pinyada) in Brooklyn nine nine
Indeed, today people are aware of a lot more things and think of others... Buuut there are enough crazy people that violent entertainment would be possible.
At least you aren't playing cod, or we can assume you have a voice crack, are saying the n and f word because everyones giving you shit for your voice cracking
also, call of duty, gta, etc were "+18" games but those are the kind of games that are **sterotipically** played by children between the ages of 7 to 17.
Here my dad buyed like 3 ps2 games per month, here in brazil theres so much stores that sells ps2 pirate games, 3 games for 2 dol (10 brazillian reais), it was worth, gta san, Shadow of the colossus, Black. Good times
"Actually, I've acted in movie before" "Oh awesome, what was your character called?" "Well it was Rick... Rick umm... Rick Ra- it's... yeah I forgot waht he was called."
Imagine being controlled by a dude in a real life or death scenario and he makes you t-bag. What would you think? Also, imagine being controlled by a dude with crappy net and you're just stuck idle awaiting your death as he attempts to reconnect.

Not to mention "fragging" was supposed to represent killing someone in a way that causes their body to fragment. But that definition has been muddied over time.
holy shit why aren't there more youtube videos like this that save you the hassle of watching an entire movie, but still go through everything that happens
