Re: Funny/Interesting Movie I saw: King Kong A Fistful of Quarters
Saw it. Loved it. I knew of most of the story beforehand, but it was nice to see that the bad guy of the story really was a jerk and that the good guy was very similar to my high school physics teacher.
They did a special on what happened after the movie, and the bad guy (it's been a while since I saw it, so I forget the names) managed to become even more of an ***. |

I loved it too, it was really well done. It was so strange and at the same time so brilliant. Great little documentary, I hope "Every Second Counts" will be that good. His name was Billy Mitchellr. The mullet, the tie, the minions=Best antagonist ever! As my one firend said "I can't believe I care about this guy and I also can't believe he is really this big of a ******r" We all cheered when Steve Wiebe beat his score at the end (we were also drunk). |

King of Kong ruled.
It's right up there with my other favourite documentary "Project Grizzly", which every Canadian kid worth his salt has seen like a billion times. -Boz |

I forgot to mention that right after we watched "King Of Kong" we watched "Comedians Of Comedy". Awesome movie if you love stand up and are a huge Nerd. Zach Galafanakis is ****ing hilarious in it. |

Re: Funny/Interesting Movie I saw: King Kong A Fistful of Quarters
Heh I saw King of Kong at a small theater after a friend of mine read an article on it saying '[the makers of King of Kong] have unwittingly created the greatest movie villain of all time.' Though exaggerated, I had to agree. That movie was hilarious, and that guy was such a *********. It also helped that at the time I belonged to a similar community (tcg/ccgs).

King of Kong was a great movie. I saw it on G4TV, and they also had the special which showed the players a couple of years later.
If you like this type of documentary, check out Trekkies. Great movie full of Star Trek fans who unwittingly poke fun at themselves. |

Re: Funny/Interesting Movie I saw: King Kong A Fistful of Quarters
King of Kong was great!
I saw Trekkies back in the theater. There were 3 or 4 other people in the entire place. After a while they took off, so I was in there all by myself. One of the best times I've ever had at the movies. I was yelling "You people are loosers!" at the screen, and basking in the irony of the situation! ![]() |

Re: Funny/Interesting Movie I saw: King Kong A Fistful of Quarters
Didn't the antagonist of this movie flip out about the way he was portrayed?
I remember seeing him on an MTV special about video games and he sure seemed full of himself. Then I read the stuff about him saying he was portrayed wrong in the movie and I was thinking "Were you portrayed wrong on that MTV special too? Because you seemed to be a jerk." |
