seriously no one liked it? I wanna see the movie, it looks pathetically interesting watching these dudes stuck in the 80s. Not too much unlike us. LOL

I thought it was great! I about laughed myself off the chair with the guy playing in his garage

. Reminded me of the people lined up at pacman and donkey kong at the local smoke-filled arcade in the 80's. Definitely a can't miss movie.

Again us southerners get shafted. Big enough for the Olympics, but we dont get short run movies...

Ill get the DVD because it is one of my more anticipated films of the year. And that in and of itself is quite sad.

There was a street fighter competition movie called "Bang the Machine" that I really wanted to see. I never got a chance to because I don't think anyone really picked up for them to play in more than like 2 cities LA and NY. And it was never put out on DVD.

Thats how it goes I guess.
