How was he treated? I think the film accurately showed him as he is: A man stuck in the past who is completely happy with himself & his hobby. I've met him and seen him at shows. There's no trick editing here to "make him look bad"...look - the dude is an odd guy. That's just a fact....but the movie does not make fun of him. It merely shows a man who got attached to an older era, hit the breaks, and stayed there.

Oh, and his belly is like 4x the size now. I wish his real friends would teach him how to eat healthy - he could probably cure many of his ailments & get back to shows and pin fun!

I saw him at PPE...he was bigger and was wearing a small shirt with his gut fat dangling down to his knees. He was practically eating the entire buffet. How did they make him put that shirt on? I've seen him wear that shirt at Belsito parties!

I dunno man, I see 100% accuracy in that movie

I had to look this up. For a second I'm like...uh..."Quit F*cking Talking"?

Quoted for Truth....thanks Keef!

I find it fascinating that so many are so butthurt over this movie. What wasn't accurately portrayed? It showed the history of pinball. It showed designers & programmers and their take on things. It showed collectors - and yes, some of us are f*cking weird....but it showed plenty of "normal" collectors...which starts to show that pinball isn't dead but thriving in private collections. It all led up to showing the tournament scene - which showed that pinball isn't just about the private collections but a vibrant competitive community.

I've met MUCH stranger and controversial people in this hobby....everyone shown in this movie is portrayed as likeable and sweet natured, even if they are naturally eccentric.

You're not giving me facts, you're giving me an emotional response. Give me some facts about how it was manipulated. Everyone in the movie are real people...doing the real things that they do....really collecting...really playing. Sam Harvey, Koi Morris, Lyman Sheats, Steve Ritchie, Roger Sharp, Rick Stetta, etc....are REAL people, not some Borat style creations.

What is manipulated and not accurate? I know when documentaries are editing for a point of view or to manipulate the viewer. This isn't politics, it's pinball. This movie shows pinballs history, creators, collectors, and players. What is faked or not portrayed accurately?

Amazing the difference a few years have made...it really did feel like the end of pinball ...the end of the arcade...the end of something that defined many of our childhoods. It almost seems like the movie needs an updated ending, talking about the recent pinball boom.

So - you would have cleaned up Sam's house and bought him a tux? Do you know what a documentary is? The purpose is to capture reality. They succeeded.

*sigh* ...This movie has shown how extremely thin the skin is of people in this hobby. A hit piece!? It's a love letter to pinball! The movie is a celebration of the world of pinball...the history, the artists & designers, the collectors & enthusiasts, and the tournament players. The movie portrays the passion of all of these people! How on earth is it a hit piece!? Cuz Sam has a small shirt!??!

Sam's a pinball collector. Part of the film focuses on pinball collectors. Pinball collectors = pinball.
