Title: The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
Post by: Tec on December 03, 2008, 05:43:59 AM
Funniest thing I have seen in forever, but the fact that it's a documentary makes it almost sad.  It's so unreal I have a hard time believing it's true, but have found no evidence to the contrary.  For those of you who have seen it do you think Steve Sanders has sleighed Steve Wiebe's wife at some point in time?  Seems like a little awkward tension when they meet.(maybe it wasn't Steve Sanders I forget the name, the dude with the buzz cut and the red shirt.)

I saw this movie a few months ago, the funniest, saddest movie ever!  I was amazed at how I was sucked into this idiocy emotionally, rooting for the "true" champion.  I don't remember names, but the guy who claimed to be the champion and his posse cracked me up! 

Another great film in this vein is Trekkies if you havent seen that one.

Watched it the other day. Wow that long-haired guy was a major looser. Pretty funny how he was worshiped by the fellow arcade game geeks. I keep threatening my wife that I want to buy a Donkey Kong machine and beat the high score...

I can't remember the name of the movie I saw a few years ago.  It was a documentary (mockumentary) of a guy in Milwaukee straight out of the trailer park who has been trying to produce C rated horror movies since the 80's.  I can't recall the name of it, American something I thought.

Would that be the one where they keep talking about "Votka"??  Seen it, it's garbage (especially compared to the win that is King of Kong), and IIRC the name is just "American Movie".

Yes, thank you.
