The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
the part with the detective and his brother on the cliff, what the hell was, "you know why" supposed to mean? i kept wondering if i missed some important dialogue prior to that scene. that was weird.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Hunger Games meets Saw meets Hostel.
I read where it was written like 10 years ago but nobody would green light it (see what I did there) until recently.
Loved the reveal where it had been going on for 20+ years and the player archives. That also explained the tunnels and whatnot they were using to extract and sell body organs.
I didn’t like how some games guaranteed half the players would die. All this talk about “equal opportunity” … I mean every player could have technically survived RLGL and Honeycomb. Even the glass steps. But damn Tug Of War and Marbles were so fucked up. So fucked up. Damn.
I don’t think the detective is dead.
Curly-haired chick’s annoying AF voice over was clearly intentional to make you hate her more.
I know they have to make money on this but I really wish it would have ended. Like, the old guy dies on Christmas Eve and they shut it down. All they did with the ending was find a way to set up season 2. Kinda lame.
That said I want to see in season 2 the background on where these red-clad soldiers come from and how they’re recruited into it. They gotta be in their own desperate situations.
And then in the inevitable season 3 we learn more about the host, VIP’s, Front Man etc.
I'm pissed that the old man wanted to play the game, but didn't want the full stakes. He could have died in the tug of war, and there's no way to fake that. He should have been killed just like anyone else.

i havent seen it nor i want to, but im surprised on how well they market some stuff. Everyone seems to be watching it because its Netflix´s big new thing.

What else is there other than him who was terrific?
Exactly!
It felt very Hitchcockian, with the entire film being him in a room on a phone. Watching him work through the emotions was damned impressive, but as for the larger plot...meh. I didn't ever care what was happening, the twist felt corny, and the ending bit about what happened next was just like "ok whatever where's Seinfeld?"

yeah, "timely" to the point of pandering.. there just wasn't enough to it... if I wanted to watch a guy on a phone for 90+ minutes, I'd ... well... I'd probably just not choose to do that... even if it's Daniel Day-Lewis
