Saw this in April a the Philly Film fest and it was the best movie I saw there. Hands down. Totally amazing. Then at Comic Con, I Saw Steve Weibe interviewing before playing Donkey Kong and got more starstruck than seeing/meeting anyone else. He was there to play the person with the highest score over the course of the con. I love this movie. I also got sweet promo merch, there a coin (get it) keychain with billy on one side, steve on the other! awesome. I agree. See this movie.
I think it got a wider release this week so if it's playing in your town check it out and bring friends. I saw it with a jaded film festival crowd and there's no resisting the urge to cheer during the dramatic bits. I'm definitely going to see it again!
Sorry to resurrect a long dead thread. But I only just got around to seeing this and it is fucking genius! So good!!!!
you can only edit personality so much, its his own words and creepiness that make him such a jerk. the hair helps a bit too. on a side note, who is down to get a case of billy's hot sauce with me? I don't need a whole case. some british blogger had him do hot sauce taste tests in the UK. I'd have to say he comes off better in print than in the film http://wayoftherodent.com/features/hot sauce.htm
Editing, from what I remember it was made by Steve Wiebe. This was a short article I read somewhere when it first came out so it could be wrong. Every movie needs a hero and a villain.
i only saw it for the first time a couple months ago too...a good watch... gotta love blooddrinker's avatar after seeing it....
I don't know man, he really does come off like a proper twat. I was wondering if it was editing as well, but some things he says... no, he's a twat.
Billy Mitchell. What else can one say? I love the scene when Billy is lurking around in his 70-year-old-man style Lexus. Classic.
Was looking forward to seeing this since the trailer, forgot about it, got reminded by this thread and finally got to watch it tonight. A real gem - I laughed, I cheered, I got all fucking teary-eyed. Brilliant. Most hilarious part by far: -"So whaddaya think's my handle?" (Billy oh-so subtly tugging at tie) -"T.I.E.?"
Muaahahahahaha fuck yeah! Then he beat up on Jr. too. What a douche and awesome champ! It's like he has nothing else to live for except that hair, some sauce and being a dick bag. I heart Billy Mitchell. I might be him for Halloween now!
