The absolute cheek of Hulu calling this a "Hulu Original" when it was originally announced in _2012_, got stuck in development hell at 20th Century Fox, then was planned to release under Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures, then the release was postponed, re-announced, delayed again before the film leaked a few months ago…

Hulu, you had nothing to do with creating this movie; please don't brand it like you did.

I'm also interested in any background on why the version Hulu released this week runs only 94 minutes, when IMDB indicates the runtime should be 100 minutes. What did they cut? I wonder…

I have to admit that it's fun. The characters are _all_ pretty flat, even Roy, but the concept is cool enough even if [spoiler]Mel Gibson makes for a really lame villain with no depth whatsoever[/spoiler].

Where others objected to the title, I thought "Boss Level" was fairly apt. Roy's experience mirrors what a gamer might have to do in order to clear a particularly difficult level in a video game. That worked really well for me—much better than the characters.

You think Selina Lo ever got tired of saying, "I am Guan Yin, and Guan Yin has done this"? :joy:
