Watched it today.

I am I the only thinking Billy Mitchell is the most arrogant asshole ever born? Boy, is he ignorant or what?
Yes, he seems to be a great arcade player way back but his attitude is bad to say the least.

Otherwise great dock-movie.

@Darknuno - didn't you met this asshole last year?

BTW sorry for the assh*le thing ... but I could not find another appropriate word. :)

Youre thinking what i thought after seeing it the first time.... but as anybody knows, every movie/dok etc needs a villain!
There´s some q&a about the dok, that Walter Day had answered, but i cant find it atm... the comment i gave that he met Steve where he something like "i don´t like to be in the same room as that looser??" - the film crew asked him to say that.... ie, don´t believe everything you see (that´s edited!)

And, Billy is actually a nice guy!

I met him two years ago (see the meet right here (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=827.0)). A great meeting. A very nice & kind guy.
Before insulting the guy, just take some information about what's behind this ...movie! Because, yes... it's a movie first  ::)
Just take a ride right here (http://forums.twingalaxies.com/viewforum.php?f=86&sid=72f23e5e359bf045e90713d63c9a1c31) now and take some time to read the stories behind that 'Darth Billy Mitchell Vader' during the movie ...

Well, it is marked as a documentary. So most will take the footage for real. As I did.

Think of the show as a "Reality T.V."    They make a plot, stir up trouble..  to make excitement.  I enjoyed KoK, and Chasing Ghosts!  ;D

   but on the flip side... Sometimes I'm afraid of meeting a T.V./Movie Star, and take a chance of being treated rudely or snubbed, as which it will ruin everything.
