Friday nights movie " special when lit "

oh and of course i'll drop an Apollo related movie in too.

Everyone in the world needs to watch "The Last Man on the Moon".

No pinball but an amazing story of the last guy to walk on the moon, Gene Cernan - an amazing guy.
 
Got the 'Special When Lit' Blu Ray off my son at Christmas. Pretty sure it's longer than the original documentary when shown on TV some time back. The PAPA bits particularly.

Makes me chuckle when Steve Richie says pinball 'is slowly dying'..... no signs of that now. Should have said it's 'slowly getting very expensive'.
 
What did you think Lee?

Watched Special When Lit yesterday and enjoyed it, also watched Wizard Mode, which I felt was much more about a guy who had autism and happened to fixate on Pinball rather than specifically about Pinball. One thing that struck me, especially watching Special When Lit is how odd pinball people must seem to others :)

Special when Lit seems very much edited in a way to make some of the people in it look weird, probably the only thing I didn't like about that film :tut:
 
Without meaning to be rude, you only need to go the UK pinball show or NERG to see that a lot (not all) of pinball/arcade fans are a bit weird!

Isn't it good to be a bit weird?

I've never liked following the crowd, I am my own person (or try to be).

:hmm: now I'm following this crowd, I must be normal!

I can't be weird if I'm normal!

What is normal?

I'm now confused, time to think this lot over.
 
I was recently quizzed as to whether or not I was a nerd due to my pinball obsession. This was from a lady who organised baby showers. The more I heard as to what these ladies did at baby showers (e.g. Melting chocolate into nappies and eating it) I came to the conclusion that she was weirder than me.
