Slog - Comments on Today The Stranger Suggests... http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/today_the_stranger_suggests_157 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters' (FILM) In 2003, Redmond resident Steve Wiebe set out to topple the long-standing all-time high-score on Donkey Kong. Little did he know that his assault on the record would spur the ire of the exceedingly arrogant Billy Mitchell, holder of the record for over 20 years. King of Kong, which conquered this year's SIFF, chronicles the scheming, heartbreak, and absurdity that followed. The result is this year's brightest, and most routinely hilarious, documentary.
