For those of you in LA, it is screening at the Archlight Theater in Hollywood on August 16th.  There will be a Q&A with the director afterwards.

Are these little news topics supposed to be sparking conversation? To be honest i don't think i have ever seen one of these type of topics ever passing two or three posts.

Whether they spark conversation or not, they let people who come straight to the forums without ever seeing the news pages know what's going on.  Any member on these boards who saw this thing would probably have posted the same link.  Is Saint not allowed to post interesting stuff just cos he owns the place?

I was not telling saint what to post or not to post, just that these threads under the news heading never seem to go very far for some reason.

Well these posts are links to news articles. Usually there is not much to discuss about them. I do like reading them though.

BTW this movie has come up a few times already in the last two months:

Would you call that a self-negating prophecy?

If we can't think of anything to discuss on this topic, other than whether or not we discuss news topics such as this, or not. We might need to pick up on another hobby.  ;D

I have heard through the grapevine (MameMaster!) that the Donkey Kong high score debacle might go Hollywood, mainly because of the buzz the documentary has created.


So...I wonder if Wiebe will topple Mitchell's latest score?


What is your high score on Donkey Kong? Mine is only 86,600.  :-[

"little", yea like this news topic can be considered "little". Like many of the arcade news topics are "little".
