The King of Kong

I missed this film a couple of years ago when it opened. The trailer below makes it look well worth a rental, as does this review.

Surely there's not a lot of things weirder than obsessive videogame world-record competitions...

This looks like a great "It's Sunday morning and I have nothing to do" movie.
I would watch it.

o...I never thought about them. I watch that now and then at night.

I'd rather play video games on Sunday mornings when there's nothing to do than watch a movie about people playing them. That of course only if I'm not trying to recover from Saturday night.

Jules, pinball was my game of choice as a kid, until Dad came home with a pong video game console. Pong and squash!!!

Pinball, 5cents a play and play all day on 5cents if you were good enough!

What truth? That a plumber could beat a gorilla?
