Moments when a piece of entertainment completely rocked you.

Just thought to check the "Kids" section of Xfinity On Demand last night and found five episodes of Gravity Falls on there. I had watched the first nine or so on Hulu a bit ago, but, man, I forgot how solid that show was.

It's the kind of show you'd probably want to binge through due to the continuity nods. The first season finale is much more enjoyable if you remember the first episode for instance.

The shout outs alone make it awesome. Fight Fighters is the example that comes to mind most readily, but that's because I watched it in the last 24 hours.

I especially liked the part where Rumble McSkirmish is asked to stand still and does this:

Finally saw Gone Girl. All the gender politics and spin-doctoring themes aside, the use of Board Games within the movie was utterly brilliant.

Could you elaborate? I just read a few reviews, and none of them mentioned board games.

Josh_Kablack · Post by **Josh_Kablack** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 7:18 pm

Not my fault most movie reviewers miss the important stuff, so here goes:

Gonna spoiler the images to try to save some bandwidth:

Figure1: Summary of the entire movie via a boardgame and three words.

While this works with just the game's title, Mastermind is a game themed about cracking the code your opponent selects, which is a metaphor for both the troubled marriage of the main characters and the central mystery of the film. The line "you loved it" in a scene where a man and a woman are each remembering the past differently at The Bar has intentional he said / she said implications of the gender politics that permeate the film.

Figure2: Mastermind goes beside the stack of Let's Make a Deal, Emergency!, Bingo, Yahtzee, Backgammon, and a Ouija board. Those are all the sorts of old games from my childhood that could be decomposing on a shelf, but the placement of Yahtzee next to Bingo is a tell that the game-wrangler knows their ludography and each is placed there for a reason.

Let's Make a Deal: While the title alone works as a plea to make unpleasant compromises to save a failed marraige, the game itself is an even better metaphor. This is a boardgame recreation of the Monty Hall show, where players take turns trying to bait other players into taking worthless objects instead of unseen prizes, but the players don't actually know if they should stay or switch. This can work as a metaphor for big dealio feminist life choices, such as choosing between marriage or a self-sufficient career and choosing between faithfulness and cheating within a marriage on your spouse.

Emergency! is an obscure 70s game, where the title refers to the actual crime in progress happening at Nick and Amy's house when the scene takes place. There's probably also a gameplay metaphor here about rushing to scenes of emergencies, but I am not actually familiar with this game to be sure.

Bingo: You may wonder what this game is doing here, but let me give you some history:

Marvin Kaye, [i wrote:A Toy is Born[/i] page 53, Also reprinted many other places]
Returning to his home in New York, Lowe bought some dried beans, a rubber numbering stamp and some cardboard. Friends were invited to his apartment and Ed Lowe assumed the pitchman's duties. Soon his friends were playing Beano with the same tension and excitement as he had seen at the carnival. During one session Lowe noticed that one of his players was close to winning. She got more excited as each bean was added to her card. Finally there was one number left - and it was called! The woman jumped up, became tongue tied, and instead of shouting "Beano," stuttered "B-B-B-BINGO!

"I cannot describe the strange sense of elation which that girl's cry brought to me," Lowe said. "All I could think of was that I was going to come out with this game, and it was going to be called Bingo!"

An overexcited woman changing things and yelling in a way that makes give a man a sense of elation as he declares "I am going to come". Do I really need to point out the sexual overtones there. But what really fits it into the theme of the movie is that said claim is unverifiable, but apparently untrue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingo_(U.S.)#History So once again, there's a he said / she said reference, but this time cleverly hidden in the historical lore about the game.

Yahtzee: This game was also popularized by Edwin Lowe, relating it to Bingo. But according to Lowe's account, it originated with a couple who played it at parties on their yacht. As suspect as I personally find that account of the history, accepting it means that the game Yahtzee symbolizes the now left-behind luxury of Amy's childhood. Thus emphasizing the financial strains on Nick and Amy that have them far away from being able to own a Yacht.
(Although the rest of the movie shits on this plot point , since after they are both laid-off and Amy loses her trust fund they still own a business and a house that has not merely multiple home offices, but also a guest bedroom and a room for the cat on top of that.)

Backgammon

wikipedia entry for Backgammon wrote: Backgammon is one of the oldest board games for two players.

Gee, that terminology sure is suggestive of gender politics. But the actual gameplay is a game played with black and white pieces that try to rush past and block each other as they move through The Bar and Home to be Borne Off - which is strongly suggestive of Amy's journeys in the movie.

To top it off

more wikipedia on Backgammon wrote: In variants that originate from early 20th century New York, players may raise the stakes during the game.

Which works as a reference to Amy coming from New York and playing "the game" with higher stakes than society generally finds acceptable

An then there a Ouija board at the bottom. While there is a cinematography association with the occult and witchery, I submit that what's more relevant are the actual instructions on the inside of the lid of that edition. Link. It's a game for two "lady and gentleman preferred" with the words "mystery" and "mysterious" repeated over and over again. Much like the movie itself is a mystery involving a couple who would probably prefer to actually be a lady and a gentleman instead of the duplicitous manipulators they each are.

Figure3: Life is the only boardgame actually played in the movie.

Hasbro Marketing wrote: Spin the wheel of fate and take a drive along the twisting roads families have enjoyed for more than 40 years!

It's no accident that the camera shot shows the wheel spinning. And it's no accident that all the other games are only shown or discussed but that Life is actually played.

Figure 4: Evidence of a Psychopath.

The treasure trove of evidence contains two recently released boardgames, Dominion and Race For the Galaxy. They are meant to be shiny playthings in a man-cave and the titles of each invokes strong authority, tying in to the theme of power struggle between Nick and Amy. This is reinforced by the gameplay as each of these is about establishing control more quickly than your opponent(s) and each involves juggling multiple resources with symbols and terminology that is opaque and intimidating to new players. Thus when the trove in the woodshed is revealed, Nick finds himself in a whole new game which he barely understands.

The final game reference in the movie is a line from Neil Patrick Harris as he responds to Amy's supposed acceptance of his offer of a trip to Greece. I'm sure there's another theme-related metaphor here beyond the obvious association of Scrabble with brainy types and the word games played by writers Nick and Amy, but I'm not sure I get it.

Flesh out that last point, and you have a Cracked article just waiting to pay you. That was fantastic, and probably the thing that's piqued my curiosity about the movie the most.

Josh_Kablack · Post by **Josh_Kablack** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 1:15 am

Gillian Flynn herself was apparently behind the game placement:

Eh, I wouldn't recommend it. I've heard from too many people that posted articles to Cracked, were rejected, then saw that one of the established columnists had posted a very similar article sometime afterwards. Of course that might be the internet rumor mill, but I personally wouldn't try that...

Avoraciopoctules · Post by **Avoraciopoctules** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 5:23 am

That's definitely some interesting use of subtext. Most of the boardgame history I know is how it was a target for puritan repression in certain phases of middle eastern history, it's pretty fascinating how well this lines up with the movie's themes. Thanks for the writeup, Josh_Kablack.

Ok, I saw Rosamund Pike talking about some scene with Neil Patrick Harris in Gone Girl and how she rehearsed it. But I haven't seen the movie and this was some broadcast talk show, so they didn't actually say what it was....

What the fuck did they do that would require such specialized rehearsal?

He take his rotate blade and jump on Megatron and hurt him with it. But
Megatron

Megatron: hahahahaha...A little rotate blade! Against a Transmetal! I think
