How did I miss this? A Lego Brickumentary...

Apparently I'm a few years behind.  Sorry.  The other day I got to watch "A LEGO Brickumentary" which was released in the US on 31 July 2015 (according to imdb.com).  Has everyone else seen this and I just missed it?  In case you haven't seen it either, this is a full up documentary on LEGO starting with the history of the brand and going into all of the modern day LEGO world to include AFOLs, conventions, LEGO Ideas (the film was done when it was still CUUSOO), using LEGO in films, the start of the Architecture theme, LEGO art to include a bit on Nathan Sawaya, and more.  

I did some searching online and a lot of the reviews of the film weren't so good.  Apparently it made much less than the budget of the film and there's a lot of trash talk.  As an AFOL, I say who cares about all of them?  I thought the film was awesome.  Interviews with members of the LEGO company to include builders like Jamie Berard and a look inside the company, how awesome is that?  I say when is video #2 coming out?

If you're an AFOL like me and you haven't seen it yet, definitely do it.  I'm not a Netflix-er, but it's probably there.  You can check out Amazon.com or Youtube to see it too.  It's worth your time.  Trust me!
