Yes! I should be in it as I almost failed at school because of SF2.

I watched "the space invaders - in search of lost time" yesterday evening.
It was interesting to be able to put faces and voices on some guys from the scene.

Tiny spoiler alert, so don't read further if you haven't seen it:
The end was not very subtlte in underlining 5 times with a sad music and pictures that: now is the emotional moment.

Other than that I never seem to get enough of these old arcade footage, so I quite enjoyed it.

I just bought the Special Collector's Edition. http://www.thespaceinvaders.org/purchase/bluray/

I had to because there is (only) one tiny, tiny, tiny stain on my memories from last RGE weekend, and that is the 25 minutes of my life that I waisted by watching The Video Craze (partly, I sneeked out after 25 minutes), and I hope that this 'Space Invaders .....' documentary will wipe that stain away.

IMHO the Space Invaders is better.

It´s very classic but I enjoyed it, hope you'll like it too!

ever since the RGE, I have these dreams of a guy in a pacman suit , he does all kind of silly things that don´t seem to have any use or purpose

Did anyone have a look when the VC was showing for the public on sunday ? Any people there ?

I was thinking maybe for non-collectors it might be a bit more interesting....apart from the  scenes of course....

To compensate guys, here's a Remi Gaillard classic, to show what IS funny:

I took a peek in the cinema, and there where people waching the movie

probably +- 1/4 to 1/3 full of people

for many it could be a nice moment just to sit down for a moment during  the event

A GREAT one, right here. Pinball's rebirth REPLAY!

Pinball is back in a big way. This short documentary illustrates its rebirth along with what people in NYC are doing keep pinball thriving and proclaiming it is still has as much cultural relevance as it idd in the 1970s.
