A.V. Club Inventory: Ambitious Outsiders

http://avclub.com The Onion's pop-culture-focused sister publication, The A.V. Club, is debuting a new weekly video series called "Inventory," based on its popular lists of the same name.

This Inventory is named after a Morrissey song, but he's not included. Instead, it's about a rash of documentary films showcasing the lives of ingratiating weirdos who were out to do something great. Along with American Movie--considered a classic around these parts--there are lesser-known docs, including the terrific Devil And Daniel Johnston, and of course The King Of Kong. (Ever read our Billy Mitchell interview? It's a little insane: http://avclub.com/articles/the-king-of-kong-continued-donkey-kong-champ-billy... )

And here's a link to this Inventory in its entirety: http://avclub.com/articles/i-might-have-a-whole-new-life-next-time-you-see-me...

Make a vid about breakout characters in tv or movie series. A character that had a minor role in the start but for some reasons is important later.

I actually own an autographed VHS copy of Coven (The movie Mark is making in American Movie). It's just as awesome as you would think it would be.
