"The King of Kong, A Fist Full of Quarters"

<< < (8/9) > >>

AtomSmasher:
Anybody watch the latest episode of XPlay called "Beyond the King of Kong"?  The whole episode was pretty much composed of new interviews with Steve and Billy.  Billy still sounds like an ass in the new interviews, although Steve was saying that he believes most of what Billy says is tongue-in-cheek humor.  Also, apparently Billy was really nice the first time they played together, but started treating Steve like the anti-christ shortly after that (thats a paraphrase of what Steve said in the interview).

bishmasterb:
Billy Mitchell just seems like he knows how to put on a good show.

Would King of Kong be interesting in the least without Mitchell acting like an ass? Of course it wouldn't, that's what makes the whole thing compelling. Perhaps Billy knows this, perhaps not.

Of course, it also appears the director played pretty loose and fast with the facts to make a more compelling story as well.

All of the talk about facts does not change some of Billy's actions in the movie. The two scenes that jump into mind are when he calls Brian to set up the video viewing and the follow up call to confirm it showed. The guy had a look on his face that doesn't lie. It was etched in stone and said "I'm being a royal ---meecrob--- and I love it".

The other is at the end of the movie when he is sitting with the lawyer buddy and looks pissed when Sanders compliments Wiebe. Then makes the "I'm not familiar enough with the situation" comment.

Either Billy is a oscar worthy acting talent and had his lines written for him, or he really is a piece of crap.
