King Of Kong

I wanted to watch this incredible documentary one more time before blogging it but alas my nights have been spent running the lights at dinner theater as you all know!

King of Kong is a documentary about two men who are in a struggle to achieve the highest score possible in Donkey Kong. One mad did it in 1982 if I remember correctly and the other just recently. One guy comes off as a complete jerk and the other more of a Rocky character. The guy you root for and want to win.

It also shows how people can obsess over something like Donkey Kong. These guys are just out and out crazy!

This should have been nominated for an Oscar in the doc category though. It is that good!

Fistful of Quarters: The King of Kong. Watch it when you can!
