Quint falls for THE KING OF KONG at SXSW!!!!

Awesome, you're that whisper reaction guy... by kintar0	Mar 10th, 2007 06:48:52 PM
what a thing to admit to. If you were sitting in front of me, or worse, behind me, I'd have told you to shut the fuck up. Fucking people can't just shut up for 90 minutes.
Donkey Kong, eh? by MelvintheMopBoy	Mar 10th, 2007 06:51:47 PM
Yeah, well, Jonathon McDorfus would've had the all time highscore on Pac Man if Eugene hadn't have disturbed him at a crucial moment.
The pie factory always kicked my ass. by RedwingsHoolihan	Mar 10th, 2007 06:54:59 PM
....and why did they need industrial machinery to make pies?
Quint, did you ever consider that... by Immortal_Fish	Mar 10th, 2007 06:59:33 PM
...docudramas are presented in such fashion to sway opinion, not represent fact? Granted, perhaps Mitchell is indeed a dick and Wiebe the do-gooder. Only, perhaps, less so in the world we live in that is in utter devoid of edits and narration?
Until the DVD comes out... by jimmy rabbitte	Mar 10th, 2007 07:34:29 PM
I'll just have to re-rent Trekkies to get my fill of geek-u-mentaries.
is Immrotal really Silly Bitchell? by Ohiofile	Mar 10th, 2007 07:40:59 PM
Saw KONG at Slamdance. Quint's right, it could have been anything-Donkey Kong, boxing, or whatever, it's a great documentary.
Thanks Quint!! by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Mar 10th, 2007 07:56:43 PM
So glad to hear this got a mention or otherwise I would not have heard of it at all. This sounds like my type of movie. Can't wait. Hopefully you guys will mention this when it hits DVD.
little donkey..little donkey... by sHapesHiftinLizard	Mar 10th, 2007 08:45:07 PM
This sounds great, gonna be keepin my eyes peeled for any showings of this at the GFT in glasgow this year, kinda thing they'd show no sweat, hopefully the adap. will be top quality too. Happy! Happy! Joystick! Joystick!
Playing Donkey Kong well is a "talent" by IndustryKiller!	Mar 10th, 2007 08:46:23 PM
Ummm....ok. Not to mention this jackass did it back in 1982, so the "what have you done lately to brag about" rule is in full effect. WHy doesn't someone just kick the shit out of this Billy Mitchell guy or hulimiate him somehow? He's clearly just an insecure man child if he's still high off playing videogames well in the early eighties.

When does GHOSTS and KONG hit DVD? by ELGordo	Mar 10th, 2007 11:35:53 PM
I really want to see this flicks but something tells me they will never reach my shores here in Iceland. I need a DVD, fuck a trailer would be nice for now.
That should have been of course "These flicks". by ELGordo	Mar 10th, 2007 11:39:32 PM
Curse you pink and blue sweet ass cocktail.
those videogame docs sound great by Rupee88	Mar 11th, 2007 12:01:34 AM
I've got to make a note of them and track then down. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.
Yeah QUINT! by Beastmanseventy	Mar 11th, 2007 12:11:14 AM
Did you ever for once consider that a docudrama dramatizes fact, just like history books and suchlike? Did you ever consider that knowing all of the facts is completely impossible even in a documentary that never once plays up the slightest bit of bias? Huh? Didja didja didja? BOY ARE YOU DUMB FOR GETTING EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED IN A MOVIE THAT IS EMOTIONALLY ENGAGING.
LOVED IT! by Billy Ho	Mar 11th, 2007 12:50:13 AM
Easily my favorite film of the fest so far. Very entertaining and moving to boot. Like it much better than Doug Pray's new doc, which is saying a lot. I wonder if people use terms like "douchebag" (and "ass hole", which I heard after The Ten)during Q & As at other festivals...
Nathan Fillian for Steve... and... by Kraken	Mar 11th, 2007 01:24:47 AM
Fred Savage for Billy Mitchell. Oh yeah. THE POWER GLOVE!
For everyone that's seen KING OF KONG... by Kraken	Mar 11th, 2007 01:37:47 AM
It doesn't look like much has changed attitude wise with the wonderful people over at Twin Galaxies... they still haven't put Steve's latest score up yet - http://www.twingalaxies.com/fo rums/viewtopic.php?t=9377

Trust me. I don't talk during movies. I've nearly gotten into fights at theaters when telling people to shut the fuck up. It's my #1 pet peeve. I did whisper "douche-bag" during the film... when something big happens and the audience reacted. I could barely hear myself over the reaction, so I doubt anyone else did.
Tell me this doesn't make you want by renderboy	Mar 11th, 2007 08:00:14 AM
to watch this right now: http://jongy.tripod.com/billy -mitchell2000.jpg And this is Billy Mitchell from, like, 7 years ago, not from the 1980's! Sheesh...

I love it when I'm deleted... by Mister Man	Mar 12th, 2007 05:59:57 AM
for slamming SXSW, the most overrated event in the universe.
Mister Man rocks, oh and these flix sound cool by Doctor_Sin	Mar 12th, 2007 10:14:47 AM
I want to see them. I loved playing DK back in the day.

Has anything looked more abysmal... by Mister Man	Mar 12th, 2007 10:59:56 AM
than "The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning"????? WHO rents that crap?? Yeah, I know, all of the studios are jumping on the bandwagon for DTV. UGH.
So "It's on... by Childe Roland	Mar 12th, 2007 04:00:11 PM
...like Donkey Kong," then? How is it possible no one else has typed that in this talkback yet? And if video gaming is really a talent to brag about, when is masturbation going to be an olympic event?
