Asked a friend for a movie recommendation tonight. He told me to watch the 1997 film The Game and refused to give any context. Please no spoilers. I also have no idea if this is his idea of a joke. Hard to tell this early on.
Bets on how long I last watching this movie?
3 minutes in and there is a seymour butts joke.

Can’t tell if the background music is nostalgic or creepy horror film. Cool. Cool cool cool.
So this guy gets a birthday card to call some number Consumer Recreation Seevices. He has no idea what it is and stumbles upon their business. He’s crazy right?
OHHHHH IT’S A GAME. THAT’S THE NAME OF THE MOVIE.

His application for The Game was REJECTED. Someone’s gonna die, right?
Aaaand 1 minute later there’s a creepy ass clown laying in the driveway. WITH A KEY LABELED CRS
And ope, enter the female love interest maybe???
He watched a man collapse and ended up in the ER with this woman.

WHAT IS HAPPENING? THE ER IS FAKE
Honestly walking the line of bored and intrigued.
They just got chased by a dog from what’s probably a fake security guard at this point. Is this the Truman Show sequel?
That whole hotel room scene was forked up. What the actual hell?
Ok. He’s definitely legit crazy. Is this The prequel to Beautiful Mind?
Okay definitely intrigued. Planning which episode of Parks and Rec episode I will watch when this is over.
The taxi driver just jumped out of the car and let the guy almost drown in the bay.

DUDES WITH ASSAULT RIFLES WHAT NONSENSE AM I WATCHING @adam_locker
New theory: this isn’t a game for him, but for the CRS people. They hunt people for fun.
The love interest character tried to tel him her house was bugged and now they’re on the run from the assault rifle CSR people
OPE. He was drugged.
Update. She’s not a love interest. I was very wrong.
He ended up in what o think is Mexico with no money no ID no passport. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this was how the movie ended.
Okay so why is there an underlying theme of his dad dying when he was a kid. I still think he’s crazy.
Okay so he’s gone mental. Threatening to kill people. Cool. Cool cool cool.
He’s found the mother load of all the people who aided in his game.

WHAT. THEY KNEW HE WAS GONNA JUMP?! WHAT AM I WATCHING ?!?
HIS BROTHER DIDNT REALLY DIE?!?
THIS IS WHY I HATE SURPRISES.
HOW DO YOU GO FROM BEING COMPLETEY MENTAL THREATENING TO KILL PEOPLE TO JUST BEING FINE WITH A SURPRISE BDAY PARTY
I was right about one thing. SHE WAS THE LOVE INTEREST.
@adam_locker you owe me $3.99 and 2:08 hrs of my life back please and thank you.
In case you’re dying to know, the Snake Juice episode from Parks and Rec is by far the best.
