Billy does get the villain edit throughout, although I've seen him pop up in other films (Chasing Ghosts comes to mind) and he's kind of a douche there, too. Walter Day is sort of the unsung hero of the film to me. He seems like a guy who just wants to support something he loves.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-41175763783766554572012-07-09T14:34:36.976-05:002012-07-09T14:34:36.976-05:00Yeah!

But I think Walter Day put out a big post somewhere about all the inconsistencies from real events. And the film's director has said in an interview somewhere about some things, too.<br /><br />As for the other docs... would I enjoy WHEN WE WERE KINGS despite the fact I have zero interest in sports and don't know much about anything that happened or how the sport works?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-38628290353299736702012-07-09T10:09:24.809-05:002012-07-09T10:09:24.809-05:00I actually have already seen BEST WORST MOVIE.

Such a sad movie.<br /><br />Off the top of my head, here are some other docs that I've seen:<br /><br />-Exit Through the Gift Shop<br />-Man on Wire<br />-Waiting for Superman<br />-Bowling for Columbine<br />-Supersize Me<br />-Restrepo<br />-Confessions of a Superhero<br />-Nightmares in Red, White, and Blue: The Evolution of the American Horror Film (there's another I saw very similar to this one, as well, that I can't recall the title of)<br />-Zombie Girl: The Movie<br />-J.K. Rowling: A Year in the Life<br />-A couple Wizard Rock documentaries<br /><br />And I'm sure a few others. For the most part, I liked all of them. A few of them I loved, though.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-49514047967167922062012-07-09T08:40:49.964-05:002012-07-09T08:40:49.964-05:00Nice job, Nick.

I figured that some of the drama was cranked up for the entertainment value, but I hadn't heard that the basic facts were altered. I'll second Nolahn's choices of BEST WORST MOVIE and WHEN WE WERE KINGS, which are both great documentaries.Danhttp://ptsnob.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-53474170309447782602012-07-09T08:11:12.272-05:002012-07-09T08:11:12.272-05:00Believe it or not, of all the films you have lined...Believe it or not, of all the films you have lined up for the Video Game series, this was the one I was most looking forward to you covering. See: Documentaries can be fun, too! <br /><br />For other documentaries that don't feel like stilted, bloated PBS specials: UP FOR GRABS (about the legal battle over Barry Bond's record-breaking HR ball), WHEN WE WERE KINGS (about the Ali-Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle"), SUPERHEROES (about real-life caped crusaders) and, of course, BEST WORST MOVIE (about the cult appeal of TROLL 2).Nolahnhttp://www.bargainbinreview.comnoreply@blogger.com
