  • King of Kong

    Just re-watched this last night for like the 10th time and it never loses steam for me. Just a great fucking documentary all around. If you were to tell me that I'd be enthralled by watching 2 guys fight over the title of "Best Donkey Kong player in the world", I'd probably punch you in the dick. But goddamn is this entertaining. I know they are actually filming a movie based on the documentary, but no actor could play Billy Mitchell. He's just such a douchebag yet is completely real. Go check this out if you haven't seen it yet. I promise you will enjoy it.

        Speaking of docs, have you ever seen Darkon? It's about people who dress up and act out role playing nonsesne while taking it waaaaaay to seriously. I watched that a few days after watching The Bridge, one of the more depressing things I have ever watched.

                We had to get rid of Netfilx last year cause we just own so many damn movies that we hadn't watched yet we had no time for the Netflix stuff. I do miss it, though.

                  Yah, both the girl and I have accts there and we get our movies, rip them, send them back. We have books of movies we need to watch still.

                    Out of all the documentaries I've ever watched, I've never wanted to personally punch someone in the face so badly as Billy. What a fucking dick.

                          I just watched this, I was enthralled. Definitely a great documentary.

                          If Billy Mitchell doesn't get the lifetime achievement award for the Biggest Douche, PLEASE tell me who does? Wow.

                          Also, check this link out for a follow-up to Rob's regarding Steve's re-try:

                          It contains more ammo for the lifetime achievement award.
