I don't really respect being handed a turn key operation and keeping it from going under, not as much as creating it yourself.

While I agree, that is still a far drive from "lightly autistic cared for by family".

Being a public school teacher is an even further drive from there.

Steve is an Aerospace Engineer by trade.

ChadTower:

Surprisingly the dude has a Wikipedia entry.  Wonder where the school teacher thing comes from - that says it too.

DaOld Man:
Yes, it even shows a couple of clips of Steve in the classroom.
Also Steve has a wife and kids.
Plus, I agree that running a restaurant, even a "passed down one", is a feat in itself.
But I still think the guy was an a-hole on the movie.
If these guys are on this board it would be neat to chat with them.

I just picked this up on DVD the other night.  It does indeed look like Billy Mitchell is an a-hole.  Maybe just how it was edited, but I've heard Billy is actually a nice guy.  I kept trying to justify Billy's actions to the fact that Steve got help from that other guy he got the board from, knowing that there is bad blood between Billy and him.  (The name escapes me)  I enjoyed the movie, and it was nice seeing arcade that have been discussed on the boards here.  I have to make a trip to NH I guess.
