I've decided to embark on A DOC A DAY initiative. I will watch one documentary a day for educational and career-related purposes. Many have done this before me, but I thought I'd give it a try myself. It's really just for me, but feel free to read if you want. Thank you in advance to Netflix Instant Watch.

The King Of Kong
I think that Billy Mitchell alone is great enough to warrent the ticket price...which was free in this situation, but you get what I'm saying. What a character. Really. I really do wonder what he thinks of himself. Obviously, he thinks very highly of himself and is very rarely told otherwise, but that dude means nothing in the real world. In a world that exists outside the orb of video game fanatics of the late 70s early 80s grown into adult men who maintain that fanaticism.
While this one was less "polished" than The Cove, the music use wasn't too great, it was way too slow in the beginning, I kind of hate the way it was cut and it relied too much on talking heads over silent b-roll for too long (in my opinion), it actually was pretty enjoyable and a bit suspenseful once it got going. And I guess it's nice to know that people can find their definition of coolness in all kinds of ways.
Also, no dolphins were killed in the process.
