The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (Picturehouse, 2007) follows
Steve Weibe, a Seattle middle school science teacher, as he attempts to
become the official hi-score record holder for Donkey Kong and best
Billy Mitchell. It's getting excellent reviews and is directed by Seth
Gordon, who recently did Visual Effects for the "New York Doll"
documentary of Arthur Kane.

As it turns out, this movie is a bit more like reality television than a motion picture documentary. It's still good though.

Billy Mitchell calls The Onion (article has multiple embedded video clips from the movie)

I really wanted to see that movie, but haven't yet.


PS: my wife had big plans to troll that twin galaxies board with false boasts of high scores. not sure if she went through with it though...
PSPS: welcome back from yr hiatus.

yes, but I believe that the movie would have been better with me in it as it would include bonus features of my fist ls turning Billy Mitchell to a fine red paste.

Stevie Weevie is too nice. fuck that. vidya games are srs biz.
