    The Directors knew what they were doing in trying to pick out the negatives of the subjects which wasnt necessary. For example focusing in on Sams Cupboard, why do that? Giving Pingeek an overly long amount of time and showing him lecturing an "empty" room. Not editing out the last facial gesture of Champion Rick Stetta.
    These and other images could have been edited out not edited in, and would have been, if the focus was kept to pinball.
    Maybe they thought that the subject matter couldnt carry the film? I suppose that when they went over the footage they thought it might be funny to keep the quirky stuff and in doing so turned what started out as a good film into a sideshow.
    Its a shame as there are many brilliant interviews in the film with lots of info actually covered. Too bad the good stuff is usually forgotten with the "comic" stuff being remembered. Leave out the middle and you are left with a decent Pinball movie.
