    This is one of the most entertaining documentaries of all time. I didnt think i would like this movie, but it's just amazing. It's about the donkey Kong video game and two men trying to get the top score. There is so much politics and craziness that is involved in this. Your eyes will be glued to the screen.

    9.5/10

    Rottentomatoes - 96%
    IMDB - 8.2

    Its been years since Ive seen this. But remember it fondly. Billy Mitchell is the ultimate villain.

    Everytime I hear it critiqued I'm amazed at the score but it just sounds so uninteresting. There's no way I would ever watch this.

    it is surprisingly decent

    I read that the move inspired someone to go break the record, and that person now holds the title

    Screw you Ant-A-knee.

    Okay I'll tell you what, you watch Slumdog Millionaire and I'll watch this. The deal is we can both turn it off after 30 minutes if it doesn't pique our interest. Deal?

    :gig: funny

    however, it should be pointed out that if I said this shit to Panchy, you'd be in here like "leave him alone, he's my uncle. I love him :crying:"

    Because you are nonstop with it. It's not funny when you do it because it's picking on him all the time. I pick on him one in a while and he does to me. Other than that, me and him get alone just fine.

    Anyhow, I saw this documentary the year it came out. Steve Wiebe seems like a pretty nice guy, but you have to be a bit obsessive-compulsive to go after a record like that (as he himself professes to be).

    Billy Mitchell's toadies are pretty pathetic though, and they showed up at the premiere of the movie, talking loudly while it was on until they got told to STFU by a bunch of people watching it.

    You don't know me. You're just a fellow I've had many silly heated disagreements with on this board.

    How can I set you at ease, when it comes to the two of us?
