Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Alex]

Just watched King of Kong, the documentary about the hard-core classic gaming community and a scandal in their midst.

I'd say this is mandatory viewing for anybody who has spent much time in small ultra-niche groups who can find themselves taking things way more seriously than necessary.

Also, while watching things like this (and Hands on the Hard Body and others of the ilk) I can't help but try to imagine something similar being made about MouseAdventure and how everybody would come across.

Damnit, will you stop posting reviews that don't pertain to anyone on this board.

Why I do declare! I surely have no idea what you're talking about.

Yes, King of Kong is excellent. I'll add to that same mandatory viewing list Darkon, 2006. Not a great movie, but very interesting in an ultra-niche group sort of way.
