    I just watched this, an excellent doc well worth a watch. How funny were the guys reporting back to silly billy.

    My favourite line - 'This is technically a weight lifting glove' :lol:

    or what about, 'Steve just walked in.... we didn't invite him' As if Don Billy was going to whack him or something

    lol yeah. Steve walked in Uninvited. Like if their whole night is ruined and he needed an invitation to come to a public restaurant. Or how billy was one of the viewers of Steve's video, but when Steve asked to see Billy's taped video "nope, it was a one time viewing" FUCK YOU NERD!!!

    I thought it was okay but definitely not something I needed to watch. I promised Antaknee that I'd finish at least 30 minutes of it before I quit and I have to say he must have marked the exact time frame it would get more interesting because I was really close to shutting it off around the 20 something minute mark. Anyway it got better, but I found some of it a bit hard to swallow. Not the actual facts of the docu but rather I think some stuff was purposefully set up to make things more interesting. Overall I found this kind of boring and a waste of my time. I didn't give a crap about the guy and didn't need to see his past history on being a loser, or him teaching classes, what his students thought, or him coaching little league. I'm sorry Antaknee but I have to be honest. I thought it was just okay, I don't see what was so great about it. 5/10.

    Great great movie in my opinion. Helen of Troy didn't get this much attention.

    The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters 7.5/10

    An entertaining docu-drama about various nerdy dudes competing earnestly for the highest score ever on a Donkey Kong game (the actual arcade version from the early 80s) ... Definite good guy/bad guy dynamic. Includes a memorable scene featuring one of the bad guy's most pathetic, dorky sycophants doing all he can to sabotage the good guy upstart, essentially pwning himself for all time as one of the most transparent, passively churlish, uber-nerds ever recorded on film... Truly odd, awkward, dorky people who take this shit as serious as cancer... I've heard that there are some inaccuracies on this, but I don't care enough about the subject to be concerned... Definitely enjoyable for a casual viewer with no attachment to arcades.

    The little snotty shit reporting back to billy needed to be beaten.

    And not letting steve view the tape, despite the fact that billy was one of those that viewed steve's tape was beyond ridiculous. But at the end of the day, that Billy lives there and steve was visiting. Billy does a lot for the town, so i guess they bend over backwards for him.

    Roy "Mr. Awesome" Shildt could have a movie done just on him.
