Watch The King of Kong 3 times.

yeah, the other two are alright for simple entertainment purposes, but King of Kong is pure, 24-carat gold.

World's Fastest Indian

Saw it years ago. Found a DVD of it that my lackwit brother apparently never returned to a University library that he probably owes tons of money to. Took the opportunity last night to re-watch a delightfully entertaining flick. Anthony Hopkins is so great - and, amazingly, he's not playing a 'bad guy' or an imposing father figure like he does so well in his more mainstream movies.

Unfortunately I tried to watch it, I thought it was awful. The fact that people can seriously get that into video games is pretty embarrassing.

The guy that beat the original guys donkey kong score was ridiculous, especially the part where his poor kid (who's all of 4 or 5) is telling his dad to stop playing donkey kong because he needs help wiping his butt & the dad does nothing but keep telling him to hold on because he has a record breaking game going is a disgrace.

That's the part the actually MADE the film, I can only imagine how bad it actually is. The dude gets laid off from his job & his solution is to buy a [expletive] donkey kong machine & try to beat the world record?

It's enjoyable as a piece of nerd exploitation (Come on, you didn't die laughing at all of the classic gamers treating Billy Mitchell like he was Michael Jordan?), but there's also a little more depth to it. Whether it meant to or not, the documentary ends up making a case that Wiebe is the one with misplaced priorities, though I still say that a little kid can wait to have his butt wiped.

Just watched "The Fighter" (I know I know -old news -but free from the library -proof that patience pays off).

Excellent. I saw some criticisms a while back, but can't recall what they were. It was fun to watch. Christian Bale. The sisters. And that red-haired lass - yowsa!

And damn -it is humbling to see that time frame already being done as a period piece. FTR- Zubazz pants made an appearance.
