    		 I got to watch The King of Kong a few months ago, and I loved it. If you don't know what it's about, it's a documentary centered around two Donkey Kong champions: Billy Mitchell, and Steve Wiebe. I thougt Billy was a jerk to Steve. If I'm at the grocery store, and I ever see "Ricky's World Famous Hot Sauce" (the brand sold by Billy Mitchell), I just going to leave it on the shelf. Anyway, if you haven't watched it, you should check it out.

      I watched it too. Yeah, Billy was a jerk. He sent a tape rather than coming down there himself. I wouldn't buy the hot sauce either.

        		 Its been well documented that the filmmaker made Billy look like a much bigger dick then he was. For example they didn't show the footage where Billy called Steve and congratulated him on breaking his Donkey Kong Record. Steve has gone out of his way to say that it wasn't fair how they showed Billy Mitchell and he is a really nice guy and that the two are now good friends.

            		 Awesome Movie, I loved every second of it. Steve's Donkey Kong Tactis were extremely interesting to watch. The Bonus
            "Unseen Footage" was hillarious to watch, especially Pigger

              Everyone who starred in the movie says they did it because they figured it would be more interesting if they had a more traditional good guy vs. bad guy senerio instead of two nice guys that want the record, and since Billy was by far the more cofident one it was easy to make it look like he was a stuff up asshole. I'm not sure if the film makers ever addressed it or not.

                		 Maybe he was being stuck up there, kinda like "why should I even pay attention to this pretender to my throne, hes not threat" Who knows maybe the rivalry made them friends. Im just going by what they have been saying since the movie came out in interviews.
