Rarity: Retro Video Game Collecting in the Modern Era (2021)
Its a dissapointing WATA advertisement
I was really looking forward to watching this documentary, but it is unfortunately just a dissapointing WATA advertisement
Why would do this...?
It just seems the whole movie was made, with only one goal in mind, just to get Wata to foot the bill to make this movie, it seems like that was the entire premise for this movie.
I can not see how this movie does anything good for the retro video game collecting community as a whole. Furthermore it does not add anything new, as opposed to other gaming and retro collecting documentaries.
It is clear that Wata has paid for this movie, and it purely to try to better their brand
It is very dissapointing!
The Maiden Heist (2009)
Based on Danish movie
During this movie it slowly occurred to me that its, very much based on a series of danish movies named "Olsen Banden" which translates = "The Olsen Gang" Christoffer Walkens wife's character is completely based on the wife of one of the characters in "Olsen Banden" as well, even their dilemma about cancelling their vacation, because of the heist, is taken from the same series of movies.
In this clip they are talking about having to cancel their vacation as well, notice she speaks, and dresses the same :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAAAQaHaDlg ...even the danish security guard in the end of the movie, is like a tribute to the danish movies, because the jacket that he wears would certainlu not be worn in todays Denmark, but was featured many times in these danish 70's movies. Also, even the mention of Denmark is a tribute. So the makers of "The Maiden Heist" certainly haven't tried to hide the fact that they were influenced by "Olsen Banden".
