Synthesizer Patel Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 That looks like a great documentary. I'll have to try and get a hold of it in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the carlos Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Looking forward to seeing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Was planning on going to see this, but it's already gone (after one week) from the local art theatre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Was planning on going to see this, but it's already gone (after one week) from the local art theatre. I'm worried the same thing is going to happen here... it's playing in Milwaukee right now, but I won't have time to see it for a couple of weeks, at which point it'll probably be gone. Most likely I'll have to catch up with it on video. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the carlos Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 We have two theaters in our area, a Harkins and a smaller theater that used to be a Wherenberg. It's nice and they occasionally have foreign and smaller films but with a film like this I know I will have to wait until Netflix has it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I just noticed the Landmark theatre in Cambridge is still showing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big Perm Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Great documentary, and quite funny, but very moving as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moltisanti Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I can't wait to see this. I remember as a kid, reading in a book about how to master the top video games, when it came to Donkey Kong, they advised you to actually play cross-handed -- that is to use your right hand on the joystick and your left hand on the jump button(assuming you're right-handed). So that's how I started playing, and I got plenty of funny looks, which were soon replaced by people just watching in awe as I shattered high score after high score. I remember scoring consistently in the low 200 thousands, which I understand is nothing compared to what these guys in the film would put up. It's playing not that far from me. I need to check it out this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Perm Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 This made me recall my first video game system, the Odyssey 2!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hey, that reminds me of my family's first video game system: Our only other one: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
callygull Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 This does look like a hell of a movie - I definitely will check it out. ~Cally~Online Psychology Degree Quote Link to post Share on other sites
