On the train ride back and forth to work, I find myself watching a crapton of movies from Netflix. One movie I'd been meaning to watch for a while, and finally got around to on my commute home tonight, was Air Guitar Nation. Put simply, it's a documentary about two American competitors making their way to the World Air Guitar Championships.
Yeah, seriously. There is such a thing.
Now, along the course of the film, I come to genuinely want David "C-Diddy" Jung to win. Partly, because he's a seemingly genuine dude, but also because his signature song, which he consistently nails when all the stops must come out, is Play With Me, by Extreme (from the Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Soundtrack).
That's mostly because that song is a killer air guitar track, as anyone who could see into my bedroom during my junior or senior year of high school could attest.
It may seem weird to watch a bunch of people "not playing any instruments", but it was surprisingly entertaining. There's all these performers, with their stage personae, and it all just works.
Seriously, you should get this DVD.
