... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreThe wall goes from 7 at top to 14 at bottom that's 1/14 shot even with ten chances for millions round. Way too much talking dragging out of show. At start states 1or 7 represents the most chances of getting the highest figures which are at 2 and 13 at bottom right and left. So then balls were placed firstly on those two sides magically the two balls end up in the middle somewhere at bottom 7-8. By that stage it's too late to take it back and the couple has to adjust to the misinformation. This is the tactics the host plays. Double up / triple up prior says potentially chance to land on 2/3 millions. Both times double up sure enough the balls don't land on same figures as insinuated. Free green balls at start add up 50k however the red balls add up to millions at end. The contract tricks the guy to go for the safe option of roughly 1/10 of the wall. That's if the wall hasn't already been down to zero when somebody risks it all only to go home with nothing. Impossible odds you'd get better odds on roulette or horses. Difficult game to understand at first with different rounds and balls and wall size amounts.
... View MoreYou better be black! There has not been any diversity of people for the last 6 shows, only black contestants. Seems to me that there are many people that would love to be on this show that may be Asia, White, Hispanic, Purple or Green. I'm done watching, too "Politically Correct" for me, When will it end? Why can we not go back to the days of racial equality before Obama made it a thing again?
... View More"The Wall" is a game show where a married couple competes against The Wall for money. And The Wall is very impressive: 4 stories tall, a massive video display, complete with built-in cameras. The host, Chris Hardwick, says the show is designed to provide "good opportunities for good people". We might wonder how they defines "good people".In the first four episodes, the contestants include s school teacher, two marines, a parole officer, a police officer and couple that gives free donuts to police and fire personnel. Obviously, giving service--especially in the government sector--is what makes one good. As far as I know, this is the first game show with a political/philosophical agenda.The game-play involves dropping balls down the wall, like a giant pachinko machine, and seeing if they land in slots designated as large money amounts or smaller money amounts. You can count the number of slots and their values to determine the odds of getting big bucks or not. But some balls subtract money, making it even more a game of chance. Yes, there are (embarrassingly easy) multiple-choice trivia questions involved at some point, but they only serve to distract one from the randomness of the outcome.The ideal contestant is someone who (besides working for the government) is not too smart, likes gambling (e.g. dice, the lottery, or slot machines), likes to be the center of attention, is overly dramatic, voices every thought, and is superstitious. Expect to see every game show cliché. Expect contestants to give inane reasons for choosing certain numbers. Expect them to talk to the balls, perhaps even kiss them. And you can definitely expect them to provide lengthy, sometimes irrelevant justifications for their trivia answers.The first couple is from Akron. So is LeBron James, producer of the show. A coincidence? Or just a totally random outcome, like The Wall?If you like games of skill, try "Jeopardy". If you like games of chance that last an hour, "The Wall" may be for you.
... View MoreHoly moly, this is painful. Kind of reminds me of that weird game show hosted by Ryan Seacrest a couple of years ago where people were kept underground in NYC...and then they were brought up to compete, then taken back down...they actually lived in this bunker... Oh, Lord, that was weird.This compares. When somebody watches a good trivia show, they truly do not care about the contestant...except to feel superior to them when they get stuff wrong. This is a show that involves a couple, and then they separate the couple, and the couple professes their undying love for each other, and every question involves one or both telling a very boring, long story about why they are answering this way....interspersed is "I love you!" "I love you, too!" and speeches about their kids, and their hardships...and this is AN HOUR. With one set of contestants. And then there are green and red balls, and then a rip-off of Plinko, and then some weird twist at the end when one half of the pair has to either accept a contract or tear it up..I am not making any of this up. I wish I was.
