    I could not agree LESS - This movie was great! First of all, there are not a lot of choices. Any focus on pinball is a good thing.

    This movie showed the "people" aspect, the history and the pro players. And focused on designers like Ritchie and Kordek. I do agree they did go for the oddballs but as everyone has said, Sam is a cool guy. Actually, he was the first person I saw when I walked into Expo 12 and said to him "hey, loved you in Special When Lit! He was so pleased. I knew I had arrived at the Expo...

    I give it two calloused thumbs up!

    Right as usual Al Warner. How can you slam him with that twinkle in his eye and when he says "I loved all the people " at the bowling alley he worked for. We should celebrate people like this - keeping the pinball flame burning for the rest of us to enjoy.

    Quoted from PW79:

    Am I the only one that laughed at the old French man comparing cocaine to pinball?!?!
    The way he said it leads me to believe he's no stranger to the booger sugar
    Dude is like the Hugh Heffner of pinball.

    I loved that French guy! When I first started loving pinball, I used his explanation to explain it to people. It was inspiration, hearing someone explain why they loved it. "All my life, it's always been peene ball...." "I don't like to eat, I don't like to drink or take drugs, I like peeenball."

    Classic - now if the French could just stop surrendering and stabbing us in the back....

    Quoted from MrBally:

    Tour, Transit or School?

    Short bus? Lol. Just kidding.
