Crazy Kong by kevinwillis.net	Jun 5th, 2007 01:46:48 PM
Nobody ever talks about Crazy Kong, but I loved Crazy Kong. Sure, it was a knock-off, and a direct violation of Nintendo's copyright, but it had tricks that didn't work on Donkey Kong and I turned the machine over once. Couldn't get close to that on Donkey Kong. Plus, I didn't know there was a Donkey Kong for a while after I'd become a Crazy Kong addict. But now, nobody ever talks about Crazy Kong. My beloved knockoff.
What about Queen of Q*Bert? by Heckles	Jun 5th, 2007 01:48:08 PM
...Master of Mario Bros? Prince of Pitfall? Duke of Dig Dug? This movie sounds gayer than Rosie O'Donnell's fat, steaming, darkened marshmallowy twat.
Jimmy finally returns that libary book by SkeletonParty	Jun 5th, 2007 01:48:52 PM
but the fine is so enormous that he can't possibly pay. No worries, the New York Libary Cops have a system in place for "heavy finers." Jimmy winds up as a Reading Room Whore until the fine is paid in full. "King Kong 2: Book Ends"

Um...Is that a major fucking spoiler?

Rules. Give 'em hell, Rosie.

Not a Spoiler by whoisthismuaddib	Jun 5th, 2007 02:13:38 PM
You go into the documentary knowing he wins. I'm betting the story focuses on El Douche's attempts to steal the title back. Does he or doesn't he? That's the crux of the film.

Thanks for the trailer
billy mitchell by LegoKenobi	Jun 5th, 2007 02:40:56 PM
...yes, he's an arrogant asshole, but i still have to give him props for having a score that stood for so long. that being said, i'm rootin' for the teacher! this movie looks great.
Billy Mitchell by Mr. Winston	Jun 5th, 2007 02:41:57 PM
This man is the reason the word "douchebag" was invented. And he's the reason the movie works so well. Weibe is a great, likable guy, but even if he sucked you would HAVE to root for him because Billy is probably the most vile person on the planet. I can't wait until this is released and all the geeks hail this as one of the best documentaries ever. For once they'll be right.
Yes, the story of the Kong Dong is more worthwhile by GrandMuffTarkin	Jun 5th, 2007 02:46:31 PM
Just think about how many sluts have been saved by the invention!

Crazy Kong is not a knock off http://www.allgame.com/cg/agg. dll?p=agg&sql=1:404~T1 And if newline is going to make this a feature film, what are they going to do with the documentary? Will they release it?

Top Five film douchebags. by Batutta	Jun 5th, 2007 03:56:33 PM
5. Martin Kove in The Karate Kid 4. Bill Paxton in Weird Science 3. Ted Knight in Caddyshack 2. William Atherton in Real Genius 1. Paul Gleason in The Breakfast Club, or Die Hard, or Trading Places. Best Douchebag ever.
Screw the remake, I wanna see the documentary by Not The Messiah	Jun 5th, 2007 04:04:43 PM
What's the deal? Was it released? Is it on DVD?
I saw this at Tribeca Film Festival by i kick tits	Jun 5th, 2007 04:44:15 PM
It kicked butt. I liked it alot. Go see it.
Just Played the Seattle International Film Festival by OGREISHERE	Jun 5th, 2007 04:55:49 PM
I didnt see it but a local crittic loved it and called it the best film of the year. He also mentioned a film in the works with the possibilty of Johnny Depp playing the Douche. How cool would that be.
Suddenly, ACCORDING TO JIM seems worthwhile. by Uncle Stan	Jun 5th, 2007 05:12:39 PM

Top 5 Film Douchebags comment... by MC Vamp	Jun 5th, 2007 05:25:19 PM
Does a "Film Douchebag" qualify by doing douche-y things without actually breaking a law? I think a "Film Douchebag" has to differ from "Douchiest Villain" by that standard. Therefore Battuta's list DOES qualify. Paul Reiser as Burke is a slippery slope because after all, he WAS in space, and as we all know, what happens on LV-426 stays on LV-426.
WHAT ABOUT THE HUGELY UNDERRATED MARBLE MADNESS? by Pound Sand	Jun 5th, 2007 05:36:07 PM

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH DONKEY KONG JR. by Pound Sand	Jun 5th, 2007 05:37:45 PM
True story: he told me climbing up and down all those vines gave him rope burns on his loins. But the fruit made it all worthwhile.
Douchebags are like pornography-- by Batutta	Jun 5th, 2007 05:38:15 PM
I couldn't give you a precise defintion of it, but I know it when I see it. What I found interesting is that most of the douchebags I could think of came from 80's movies. They don't make douchebags like they used to.
HOW CAN I SEE THIS FILM?!?!?! by Lewster3000	Jun 5th, 2007 05:41:49 PM
PLEASE HELP! i really wanna see the documentary!!
Wait a min. I want to see the documentry. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Jun 5th, 2007 05:56:57 PM
Where and when will that be released either to theaters or DVD??
Agreed, Batutta, but... by MC Vamp	Jun 5th, 2007 06:05:12 PM
In the interest of fairness, here's 5 great 70's Douchebags, no particular order: 1. Vic Morrow in THE BAD NEWS BEARS 2. Paul Pape (Double J) in SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER 3. Eddie Albert in THE LONGEST YARD 4. John Marley in THE GODFATHER 5. Louise Fletcher in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST (if only men qualify, sub in John Vernon in ANIMAL HOUSE)
I saw "Chasing Ghosts" and loved it by MrCere	Jun 5th, 2007 06:13:43 PM
Quint liked this film but I loved it! I was entertained and informed and tickled. Saying that, I think Mr. Billy was overplaying himself a bit in the film and the filmmakers let him. He was hilariously self-important. Tight camel-toe pants and mullet in all its glory.
The documentary will not be seen, maybe on DVD extra by MrCere	Jun 5th, 2007 06:20:39 PM
New Line bought the documentary not because they love film or docs but because they thought they could turn the $3 million invested and make a cheap movie and turn a $25 million profit. New Line doesn't want its movie getting out there before its movie so the doc MIGHT make it for the DVD extras.
MrCere - What Are You Talking About? by Mr. Winston	Jun 5th, 2007 06:53:51 PM
New Line doesn't own the documentary, so they CAN'T release it. Picturehouse, which they own half of, owns the rights; it appears that New Line only owns the rights to the remake. Box Office Mojo has the documentary's theater release date as August 17 in LA, NYC and Seattle.
Batutta/MC Vamp: by colematthews	Jun 5th, 2007 07:09:42 PM
Paul Gleason does get the All Time Award for Best Douchebag EVER, and I think the first Die Hard gets the award for Most Douchebags in one movie (not including villains), cause you've got Paul Gleason, William Atherton, and the guy who plays Ellis. However, in the interest of even MORE fairness, here is a in-no-way-complete list, culled in 5 minutes from my hundred or so movies, of great 90's Douchebags. 1.Jay Mohr (Bob Sugar) in Jerry Maguire. 2. Dan Hedaya, Joe Vs. the Volcano (it's a classic, don't hate!), Kevin Spacey in Swimming With Sharks (yeah, kinda obvious, but it's still true), Gary Cole in Office Space (see above comment), and Earl Boen from T2 (Sarah Connor's facetious doctor who justly gets his arm broken, but unjustly does not get a syringe full of bleach in the neck).
Also? by colematthews	Jun 5th, 2007 07:13:51 PM
If there is a similar award for girls, based on amount of Douche-bagginess per on-screen minute, then that award has got to go to Sarah Silverman, in Way of the Gun. The torrent of obscenities that spews from her mouth in about 90 seconds is glorious, and the broken nose that follows shortly is one of the most fulfilling instances of someone getting their comeuppance in movie history.
colematthews... by MCVamp	Jun 5th, 2007 07:41:51 PM
Nice 90's list, but I'd bump Gary Cole in Office Space off because I'm always happy when Lumberg shows up in that one, plus his worst offense is an imagined one. I'd sub in Ed Harris in THE TRUMAN SHOW or Thomas Jane in BOOGIE NIGHTS, myself. But we all have our own list.
I'd watch this. by proper	Jun 5th, 2007 11:43:32 PM
It sounds like a good laugh,I hope this turns up one day.Focusing on Donkey Kong for 25 years though,Blimey,I was happy to clock that on the game & watch in 1982 and that only went up to 999 and I left it there.In 1982 :>.Mind you,I tried to finish Speed Rumbler(unfinished business) the other day,I spent 40 odd credits before I got stuck in front of a metal cannon,old arcade games are skanks,I was swearing like the good old days lol.Hey guys does Cole in Batchelor Party count? ("The car has low mileage and handles like a dream.""Well, so does Debbie"),he got a good comeuppence.
No one is a bigger Video Game Douchebag by Virtual Satyr	Jun 6th, 2007 12:11:56 AM
than Lucas from The Wizard. "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad."
Doc is factually inacurate.... by RevSick	Jun 6th, 2007 02:11:49 AM
...there's a whole article on Joystiq about it, for starters Billy Mitchel has played Weibe in public several times, go check the article at joystiq, disproves quite a bit of it.

'PECK BY NAME...' by MIYAGISAN	Jun 6th, 2007 08:59:29 AM
How can you forget William Atherton as Walter Peck in Ghostbusters. Surely the biggest and best douche bag in movie, no.. WORLD history!!!!!!
MC Vamp by Damned if I can login	Jun 6th, 2007 09:31:23 AM
I actually think Douglas Neidermeyer (Mark Metcalf) is the bigger douchebag than Dean Wormer (John Vernon)....who doesn't love "double secret probation"...? Good list, though.
I'd rather see the documentary version by Immortal_Fish	Jun 6th, 2007 11:14:01 AM

When's Hollywood making Pacman: The Movie? by football	Jun 6th, 2007 02:35:10 PM
Jeezus titty fucking christ, who's running the studios? And I thought this was a sequel to Jackson's King Kong blockbuster and not another lame piece of Shoddywood crap!!
Remake? by J.B.M.A.	Jun 6th, 2007 09:55:41 PM
A remake would be another documentary, not a feature length drama based on the doco script. Although I too would rather see the 'original'.
Sorry "The Tapper of Root Beer" fans by tachyonshuggy	Jun 7th, 2007 11:32:22 AM
Picturehouse has scrapped plans to bring this to the big screen in order to fast track The King of Kong. Michael Rapaport was originally attached as the ex-con trying to go straight in a small town drug store soda fountain, with Veronica Mars' Kristen Bell as the comely pharmacy-counter girl with a "complicated" life. The option is set to expire later this year, after which it will return to Midway.
