Okay, documentarians, we get your formula: two old guys who used to be good at a game or contest of some kind meet up for one last challenge. I’ll admit that I’m not tired of it yet, but I’m SERIOUSLY CLOSE to being tired of it. The latest addition to this King Of Kong-esque formula is Pulling John, the story of some guys who used to be good at arm wrestling, who want to be good again, and fight each other. It premieres at SXSW and this is the hysterical blurb on the movie’s website:
“Michael Brzenk is better at arm wrestling than Michael Jordan ever thought about being at basketball!!” — Playboy
Hmmm. No, I’m pretty sure Michael Jordan thought about being the very best basketball player in the entire world times a million plus one, Playboy. Here’s the Pulling John trailer. I wonder if these guys have ever used steroids?:
Okay, but if we’re going to keep up this trend, I’d like to inform any and all documentary filmmakers in search of subjects that on long car trips I used to be REALLY good at the license plate game. And I was an absolute GENIUS at “slap hand.” Just find a suitably bitter rival, and we have a movie.

This is a Spinal Tap like joke, right?
Say what you will Lindsay, but it’s time for another prince on the mountain.
It’s like Rocky IV meets the Fifth Wheel or something.
This remastered version of Over the Top looks fantastic!
Seriously, best comment possible. Shut it down cuz it won’t get any better.
It can never be better than Over the Top though, there’s no kid anywhere in the trailer. (or a trailer, haha. No? Ok)
Imagine how good he’d be if he’d had running water during his formative years.
