Does Joystiq have money staked in the success of this movie? This is like the 5th post for this indie flick I've seen.

It's a movie about gaming.

This is a gaming website.

If you read Joystiq daily you have seen this over and over, dickweed. I was simply commenting about the frequency of posts about this movie.

Realistically, it's probably the first good motion picture about or based on videogames.

So, yeah, it's kind of a big deal, and I'm glad that Joystiq is pimping it.

Shame they're going to ruin this great documentary by making a movie based on it. Success shows people's true colors, doesn't it?

and considering it's Friday, the day most movies come out, it makes sense that Joystiq would mention that this is getting released into more theaters.

Not only that, but this film is brilliant. If I had a forum like this i'd bring it up every chance I could too.

Do yourself a favor and go see this movie if you have the chance. believe the hype.

LOVED THIS!

Everyone should see it! I saw it in Seattle with Steve, had a Q&A.

Oh and Billy is a bastard.

I managed to go to a screening of it in Chicago on Tuesday. Great movie and definitely worth seeing.

It is pretty easy to hate movies based on video games, since so few of them have been good.

That said, this one is looking more and more like one of those few.

Saw the sneak preview last night in San Francisco, and it more than lives up to the hype. It's Rocky, with video games.

Most viewers of this tale don't have a clue what the truth of the matter is.
"It is easier to convince people about the reality of a big lie rather then a smaller one." Hitler

Everyone is an expert after watching this movie. Again I say you are all clueless and really need to notice the way it was cut to get the intense emotional reaction. The truth was left on the cutting room floor for a pop culture fetish film. dwayne
