Murderball


What a great year for documentaries.

I saw The Aristocrats, Grizzly Man and March of the Penguins in the theater, but I missed Murderball and just now caught it on DVD. Man, this movie is awesome.

It's about guys who play quadrugby; rugby in wheelchairs. It's a fascinating movie about the game, the lives of the players and the experience of being a serious athlete in a wheelchair.

These guys are badasses, constantly knocking the shit out of one another and swearing like sailors.

The movie even delves into their sex lives and how they do it. "Most guys in wheelchairs love to eat pussy," says one.

It's a great film. I cried more than once, laughed out loud and learned a lot! Rent this movie! Rent it now!
