Tiles and tribulations…
Andy, Bryan, and I just finished watching a fascinating documentary entitled Word Wars. The film explores the world of competitive Scrabble, focusing particularly on four noteworthy players in the game circuit. While the overview of the Scrabble world is mildly interesting, the psychological profiles constructed (through stellar editing) of the highlighted players are absolutely captivating. The four gentleman a viewer of Word Wars becomes acquainted with are entirely wonderful and totally insane. Like, seriously nuts. But completely likable. I haven’t been this spellbound by a documentary since, well, Spellbound. You will enjoy this film. Watch it.
