I actually loved that movie

iirc the game was for prize money, not just survival. The contestants went into it voluntarily. I would imagine for a show, they'd give some characters sad backstories about having no other options or such, which is arguably about as unethical, really.

Considering the first movie adaptation of a book was 1896 and the oldest person alive was born 1909....no.

Translation: Does anyone else miss being young enough not to recognise all the older films that new releases were recycling?

As if they'd wait that long.
