I just watched this documentary that reeks of mockumentary because of the hilarious characters that embody it. It is a story of the two best (by far by the way) original arcade Donkey Kong players in the world. THE Billy Mitchell, owner of most video game records and deity for nerds vs. Steve Weibe, school teacher and burned out musician. Billy had the record for almost twenty years before Steve shocked the world with a Donkey Kong game in his garage by posting a score beating Billy's untouchable 847,000 and some change by over 100,000. The nerd world is stood on end and insanity ensues. Steve plays at big-time arcade venues where Billy refuses to show up at to play, but he does submit a video tape with over 1 million points on it. The back and forth continues, but the real greatness is in the incredible nerdery exhibited. It's indescribable and makes this a must-see. It's free on Netflix to stream if you get down like that. I bought it for $2 at Pawn America, along with 15 other DVD's because I'm an addict. Seriously, it's like intervention-like behavior. I browsed the shelves at that place for like 1.5 hours digging through 100's of DVD's. I will they had TONS of the following: The Manchurian Candidate, all the Matrix's (especially Matrix Revolutions), and Austin Powers: Goldmember.
Bottom Line: 8.6 out of 10. I can't give it a higher rating because it's so strange, but don't get it twisted, it's a must-see
Also: Liston to Wiz Khalifa "Black and yellow" and Rick Ross "Blow Money Fast" or "B.M.F". Both are very addicting and pretty good in my opinion.
