(8/10/07 w/Elliot & Patrick, the Mariott at California Extreme in San Jose, 7:00pm)
1) Really funny and snappily edited in most places. The 3-D animation of the 2-D games was a great touch; there should've been more of it.
2) I think they were really trying to just make every person in the story as human as possible, but because of the number of people and the short run time, it kind of ends up just showing off the funniest aspects of their lives for us to gawk at. What a bunch of bizarre geeks!
3) The cut from the two guys explaining their bread knife technique of getting the high score on Track & Field and how that "just blew everyone's mind," to the critic, who'd obviously just been told the story, saying, "that blows my mind!" Excellent.
4) Why was Mr. Awesome in this movie? He didn't seem to have any real connection with anyone else in the movie, and it kind of seemed like he was just there for us to point and laugh at. Granted, he was hilarious, but the time wasted on him could have been better spent on some of the actual subjects of the film.
5) Like Elliot said, even though I'd spent the whole day playing old video games before I watched this, when it was over I just wanted to go play more video games.
