ha, I saw the preview for this posted in some other thread and I assumed it was mocumentary. Awesome that it's real, hope it makes it to Australia.

Glad you posted this. I wanted to ever since I heard about it on Stern the other day. Sounds sick, can't wait to see it.

I got to see this at SXSW in March and was lucky enough to meet the crew for lunch, and go out with them that night (my friend is the Associate Producer). Unfortunately I saw it the day after going out with them because I would have had a lot more to talk to Steve about. I spent most of the night talking to the producer, Ed Cunningham, who was a really cool guy.

Minor brag about when I went to see it. SXSW movies work such that people that bought passes get to go in first and the left over seats are sold to schmucks like me. My chances of getting into the screening looked pretty bad, and I texted my friend who had returned to LA saying I didnt think I was going to get to see his movie. A couple minutes later the producer came out and got me in for free.

cbloom, where'd you hear it was a huge distortion? It seemed like it was pretty true to the actual events. The creators were lucky that this movie sort of fell in their lap near the beginning so they were able to catch so much of it on film.

Either way, I thought it was a fantastic movie. I'm looking forward to going to see this again sometime next week. The film is going to be made into a feature length move. I don't really see how hiring actors, writers and even fictionalizing the story could improve it much.

Re: the king of kong
 

In this kind of movie, I really don't think knowing the ending is going to ruin anything. You already know the ending.
