"Source of the article.":http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/filmmakers-unearth-legendary-atari-e-t-trove-20140426 Was the AVGN movie ever finished? The article says that "filmmakers" unearthed it, but mention the guy's working on a "documentary." I know the AVGN movie was using the unearthing of the ET landfill as a major plot device, so I figured it was related.
