We'll see if it actually happens. Ben Stiller and co were going to adapt King of Kong at one point into a film, but I believe that's mostly dead now too.
Another issue I had was the notion the flick set forth that this guy this solitary life and nobody knew about his little town, another complete fiction. He def posted (here?) and on a few other boards for a year or so, and shopped from the same dealers we all do. People were aware of his work, which is how the filmmakers found out about his stuff as I recall. Again, minor point, but I'm not a fan of a documentary having an agenda in overly sympathizing the protagonist by altering facts. I don't need a good vs evil scenario in what is supposed to be a display of actual life stuff. How many of us actually deal with good vs evil in such black and white frames in our day to day lives? It's all about subtlety, the struggles and triumphs of life, redemption, comfort and understanding, those issues ring more true than the notions of you know, a lone misunderstood hero vs his arch enemy or whatever.
Blah, I ragged about this a lot when it came out, sure I could go on more. Ultimately it was an interesting story, and in ways uplifting, but the lack of awareness of the 1/6th hobby and cost etc the filmmakers presented sort of cast his hobby in an additionally pathetic light, like lookit this weirdo who plays with dolls (although honestly, Mark didn't help much to dispel that idea with stuff he said/did) which is just dumb. They do that stuff with comics, and to artists, and anyone considered nerdy or whatever. As if liking Star Trek/Wars makes you some kind of outcast, yes you like some of the highest grossing most profitable franchises in the history of America, what a strange outsider you are *rolls eyes*.
ETC.
