Watched this on a date with a guy from hinge and proceeded to have great sex after 😇
I find that when it comes to subculture stuff like Magic, which falls into the nerdy category, I go full jock from an 80s movie, and just let my unintelligent jokes spew, at first expense of the nerds being featured. No doubt I fall into the nerd category, but I truly miss the days when nerds were persecuted and ostracized. There was much more meaning in being a nerd, when being a nerd meant you would be made fun of and beat up. It wasn't a choice you would make, as who wants to be made fun of and beat up, it was just who you were, and who you were was very different than everyone else. Being a nerd…
Didn't watch this. I've seen it before though.
Just wanted to say I have finally finished my nearly year long quest to make a letterboxd list of every magic the gathering card that has the same name as a feature length movie on here.
you can find it here
perfect send off to unemployment.
Fascinating story of several Magic The Gathering players dating from 2013-2015 on their lives and road to the Pro Tour.
Narrated by Wil Wheaton
If you're not a nerd you probably won't like it
If you are one then you will.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's about 70 minutes long and it takes more than 35 minutes to get past the setup and get to what the title implies it would actually be about. It's shot and edited rather pedestrian without much of a sense of personality. It's somewhat interesting, but it never really comes to life enough to get us to care.
Plus, Wil Wheaton has the most smug fucking voice I may have ever heard.
I enjoyed this but only because of my interest in the topic. Best part of this documentary was Wil Wheaton was the narrator. It had just a couple of interesting facts or information but not enough for an hour documentary. Overall, the low budgetness could be felt through out the film.
Walking into this blind was certainly an experience. I only knew of Magic The Gathering through a few friends, and watching them play. I still really don't know how it works and before this film I certainly knew nothing of the competitive scene. So it was certainty interesting to get everyone's perspective and learn about it. This is a very informative documentary, however, I feel it falls victim to dry presentation and it made it a lot less enjoyable in my personal opinion.
"There's coming first and then there's winning the tournament.
An interesting look at the competitive side of Magic the Gathering. I just love seeing how much this game means to people.
Didn't really understand much that was going on from the game's perspective, but seeing passionate people do what they love was pleasant. I'm guessing if you're a Magic fan this is awesome otherwise I'd say pass on it.
