Free to PlayFREE TO PLAY is a feature-length documentary that follows three professional gamers from around the world as they compete for a million dollar prize in the first Dota 2 International Tournament. In recent years, E Sports has surged in popularity to become one of the most widely-practiced forms of competitive sport today. A million dollar tournament changed the landscape of the gaming world and for those elite players at the top of their craft, nothing would ever be the same again. Produced by Valve, the film documents the challenges and sacrifices required of players to compete at the highest level. Not a bad documentary. The gamers they profile are likable.

A handful of moments in this really hit home.

Cool documentary CV.
My son is/was really into League of Legends. It was pretty much all he did for the last couple of years, so its interesting for me to see that world through his eyes.

We're half way through the 6 episodes of the remastered Star Wars Blu Ray movie collection.
Last year we watched them using our previous twin 10" Velodyne subs; however, our present pair of EP800s at (even at -15 Db) adds a whole new level of power & quality to the LFE in these superb soundtracks. Really awesome now when contrasted to previous viewings.
For me, Episode IV from 1977 (the first one) is still the best. It will be interesting to see what the two new episodes will bring...

I've been slowly watching them as well. I have been watching them in the correct order: EP IV, V, VI, I, II, III and just finished Empire.
Not sure that I am looking forward to EP I, or II. III was OK in the theater.

Yup, we're viewing in the correct order as well. We just finished the first 3 - IV, V & VI.
Now, tonight, back to the beginning...

I'm sitting in a hotel near the Atlanta airport watching Bullitt. I've never seen it and it has been on my bucket list for a while.

Good movie, especially if you go drive in San Francisco after watching it.

We're half way through the 6 episodes of the remastered Star Wars Blu Ray movie collection. I bought the set, but I have yet to watch more than a couple of scenes. I watched the original trilogy soooooooo many times growing up, so it's hard to sit through them completely anymore. But I'll have to give it a go sometime. The prequels.... I watched The Phantom Menace probably a dozen times in the theater because I was so excited for a new Star Wars trilogy. I think I only ever watched Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith once or twice apiece. Hard to sit through for different reasons than the original trilogy. You have a good point about watching them to enjoy what a modern sound system can bring out. I'll have to make time some weekend.

I gave The Killing a go because my wife loves it. It seems well written but I found the pace to be a little too slow moving for me so I found other things to do while she binged on each season.
AND FORTHALUVAGOD can someone please make Mireille Enos's character stop wearing those old knitted sweaters!!!!! It goes from quirky to disturbing to annoying in almost no time at all.
