King of Kong

[Thunder Dan]

I was watching clips of it on Youtube. I just added it to my netflix. Is it as good as the clips? If so, how did this movie fly under the radar like it did? It looks like the best documentary ever

Is that you John Wayne? Is this me?

[phyzik]

yeah and other video games. The clips are so disturbing and funny

[Lebowski Brickowski]

This movie is flat out awesome -- put it at the top of your queue:lobt:

on an documentary note -- I recommend Darkon also.

EDIT -- I'm not a gaming nerd. :hat

It's pretty much just donkey kong. Occasionally they'll talk about Q-Bert or Donkey Kong Jr, but 99.95% of the movie is Donkey Kong and the drama between the two guys claiming the world record. It's a good movie though, and definitely worth checking out once, if just to see all the Billy Mitchell sychophants.

I caught some of it on G4 or IFC one time and I've been meaning to rent it to see the rest. What I saw was hilarious.

I mean like why wasn't there more buzz in the public about it. People line up to see Star Wars and other bullshit movies- this is a movie I would line up for. These guys are some of the best entertainment you can have. I mean the guy bought a $20 weightlifting glove so he could protect his hand from playing Marble (Marble Madness but he is different because he shortens it). Then he breaks down the features of the glove and how it is good for gaming. That is great entertainment. I mean that is better than any movie you could ever make

The same reason the local sports radio stations don't have Kori as a permanent guest. It's called ....Clueless

The same reason Jack Daniels is legal as people wrap their cars around trees and weed is not.Clueless


The same reason San Antonio will spend Millions on the river walk but won't fix the potholes on Culebra road.

The same reason we spend trillions for NASA to send a man to the Sun and yet we don't cure Cancer. Clueless

should I go on?.............

TD I feel your pain! It's all fucked up. You will see commercial after commercial to go see Alvin and the chimp monks and never see a promo for Iraq for sale or lose change.

Take a look at the documentary topic mouse made it has really good movies you will be happy you found that topic. Don't forget BtJunkie and Pirate bay has many of these movies and Google videos has them for free.

I really loved the king of Kong. It has everything you want in a movie. its real,it has drama,comedy,and its sad and yet inspiring to see.

I love how they treated that science teacher like shit and then they knew how they would look when the movie would come out and they tried to kiss his ass at the last minute. Anyone who loves classic video games and people who are like us that love the art of competition and knowing we get ridiculed for not having a life its refreshing to see we are not alone.... :tu

The connection between the families and the jumpers was interesting but I didn't jump to any conclusions.

Annual video games trade show E3 always sees top games publishers showing off their latest and greatest wares, but one of the biggest happenings at this year's show was thanks to a classic arcade game that's older than many of the show's attendees. Steve Wiebe, an algebra teacher from the Seattle suburbs, took on the Donkey Kong world record in a day-long clash that thrilled crowds and had the Internet buzzing, reports CNET.

The story of the fight to break the Donkey Kong record was the subject of a 2007 documentary movie entitled The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, which starred Wiebe and the current record holder, Billy Mitchell. Today Wiebe was playing for a prize fund of $10,001 -- all in quarters.

But luck wasn't with Wiebe. After an early attempt was unexpectedly halted by a power cut, Wiebe won through to the game's infamous 22nd level, where a bug inevitably causes the game to generate a level with a time limit that's impossible to beat. Wiebe's final score was 989,400 -- just short of the existing record set by Billy Mitchell in 2007, which stands at 1,050,200.

Wiebe's valiant attempt still captured the hearts of spectators around the world, driving the challenger's name to the top of the trending topics list on Twitter. "I think Oxford should consider replacing the definition of epic in their dictionary with a picture of #Wiebe," commented one fan. Better luck next time, Wiebe.

[Susan Boyle]

you notice Billy Mitchell never plays in front of a live audience? He sent in his record breaking Donkey Kong score via VHS tape. I like how the tape skipped right before he hit 999,999 you saw a break in the tape then it was 000,0000 WTF?

Fuck Billy and his Sauce!
