Just watched the movie's pinball showdown. Seems pretty standard until you realize they are playing in a machine called Pinball Summer and the back-glass art depicts the characters from the actual movie. Pretty surreal.

I had never heard about Pins and Needles before. The place and the owner seem really cool. Too bad it's all the way over in LA. Why couldn't it be in NYC? ;) Have you ever been there?

I'll definitely add both of the Pins and Needles videos. I won't add the Vice series video because it's already in there.

Cheers
