King of Kong
Here's your marching orders for Saturday. King of Kong is showing at the Solstice Film Festival -- one screening at 5:00 P.M. The movie is a documentary about the competition for the Donkey Kong world championship and the dark horse game player who goes up against old school gaming master Billy Mitchell. The screening is at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul.

The movie was great. It was digitally projected, which was a bit of a bummer because the Fitzgerald isn't exactly equipped with the most cutting edge projection. The documentary itself was great. With a bit of archival footage and tons of interviews and on-the-spot shooting the filmmakers were really able to highlight the oddball personalities of competative old-school arcade players. Best of all, the movie didn't look down on these guys. It really portrayed Steve Weibe's struggle to match Billy Mitchell's record as a truly dramatic event. The movie is scheduled for a run at the Lagoon starting August 24th if you still want to catch it.
