Don't need to watched it, I've already seen a Youtube video of all the killings.

This is fair, people are like "It's a critique of capitalism" when actually it's about people playing children's games for money, but if they lose they die. Those bits are good, the rest is boring.

Anyone here seen Squid Game? It's a Kraken show.

I don't know, I've never watched an anime

You should, especially Legend of the Overfiend. Good wholesome entertainment.

I saw a gif on twitter that I assumed to be from Squid Game but it turned out to be from Cabin In the Woods that I'd already processed historically but could not recognise in collapsing ultra-playback mode.

Ah, here



But for about 3 seconds there I felt connected to humanity like you wouldn't believe

Let's play a squid game, play a squid game
Do you want squid, or you want fame?
Are you in the game?
Dans the squid game

Walked into a heated conversation about a TV show recently and I assumed they must have been talking about Squid Game, but turned out it was a Channel 5 documentary about fetishes and none of them had seen Squid Game. Naysayers take heart.

Really enjoying this, some great performances and endearing characters. Not everything is bad just because it exists.

It's only a squid game
So put up a real big fight
I'm going to be squid-d-ling you

but I watched the forest two episodes last night and I want to talk and talk and talk and talk and talk about it!

I did actually like it, although it hasn't changed my life.

Neville Chamberlain

I've watched the first two episodes and it's great. I like all the slow stuff more than the killing stuff.

If I mention how fed up I am of people banging on about Succession, will I get told repeatedly that's not the same thing? The same U.K. d if people who raved about it also went on and on about Call My Agent, and I didn't even finish the first episode of that.

I've had that one frequently mentioned to me, can't be arsed with dramas in general and the only bit that would have been remotely interesting to me has already been spoiled by the folk recommending it:
Spoiler alert
Every single one has mentioned Brian Cox's kid buying him Hearts even though he is a Hibs fan
[close]
.

I also cannot be arsed with Squid Game, but whatever, enjoy it if you enjoy it, the world is your oyster (not a squid)

I was annoyed with everyone talking about squid games so I watched it to SHUT THEM UP if you know what I mean and you know what?

It was alright.

Hope no one objects to me saying I really like Brian Cox[nb]Not that fucking DReam cunt, obvs.[/nb].  He was great in Deadwood and on Question Time.

Povidone

Can't imagine why anyone would, he's a good actor and seems like a generally decent sort. I'll even throw some love at the other Brian Cox purely for his existence bringing about a lovely little running gag in an episode of Down The Line.

I don't care if everybody else is into it, I don't care if it's a popular refrain, I don't wanna be a puppet in a theater, I don't wanna play your squideo game.

Tiger King 2 is out in a few weeks, it's gonna be Squid What? after that.

Fambo Number Mive

QuoteThree primary schools in New York state have banned Halloween costumes from the hit Netflix series Squid Game, over fears they could glorify violence...

But some parents are reportedly unhappy with the schools' costume ban.

"It's a costume. Just don't let your kids watch the show," one woman told CBS.

Another parent called the ban "overbearing".

Love the idea of children dressing up as characters from a show they have never seen - I suppose they've seen pictures of the characters on social media though. Unless the decision for the costume is the parent's. "No, Brian, you can't dress up as a scarecrow, you're dressing up as a character with a square on your face. What's the costume about? I'll tell you when you're 18."

Squid King. Combine the franchises, Joe whatshisface could have a mullet made out of tentacles like Geoffrey Rush in Pirates of the Carribean. Music by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

You're thinking of The Squiding Game.

One time in the pub, my mate was talking about buying some manga comics. I goes "Tentacle porn, is it?" "Nah, I'm into stronger stuff than that" he replied. "What, gay tentacle porn?" I jested, whereupon our other pal pipes up - "Octopus snuff".

McChesney Duntz

Anima Calamari. I've read that one.

I've just watched squid game I think, it had Steve Irwins in it.

Buelligan

What was it like from a marxist perspective?
