The Donkey Kong world record was broken on Monday, which inspired me to watch The King of Kong last night. Very entertaining movie. I would recommend it even if you don’t like video games.

Dr. Hank Chien, 35, racked up a score of 1,061,700 on the classic arcade video game, smashing the old record by 10,000 points. Chien’s dazzling feat was confirmed by Twin Galaxies, the official score keeper of electronic games.

Can’t remember if I mentioned this, but there is a documentary called The Bridge that will leave you depressed for days. A filmmaker set up cameras around the Golden Gate Bridge for a year and captured multiple suicides. He then researched who they were, then found friends and family members to interview about what may have led them to do it. Controversial because the director duped the city by telling them the film was going to be something positive about the bridge/city.

by Cluster on Mar 10, 2010 11:00 AM EST up reply actions  

It’s the most depressing documentary I’ve ever seen. I have reservations about recommending it, it’s morbid.

Sounds interesting. And technically it is.. umm.. something positive. It explores the causes/symptoms of someone leading up to a suicide so maybe it can help prevent occurences in the future.

I’m sticking it in my que.

One in particular kept threatening to do it, and no one really took him serious :( It also interviews someone who survived.

Oddly enough I noticed I already had this in my queue.. watched a couple clips of it on youtube.

by Brainumbc on Mar 10, 2010 11:59 AM EST up reply actions  

Well, what’s “positive” for viewers and the filmmakers is not what is positive for the city. The last thing they would have wanted was cameras set up for a year trying to get footage of people killing themselves. They would never have approved that. Can you imagine if that got out while filming was still going on? As it is, there are still probably half a dozen attempts per month.

by Cluster on Mar 10, 2010 1:15 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, Netflix Instant is how I watched it. I have the beer documentary that mentioned yesterday already in my queue. I also recently watched Food, Inc. and Super High Me on instant play. Now Netflix always recommends stoner movies to me because I watched SHM (which was very boring by the way).

While SHM sucked, I would recommend Food, Inc. If nothing else, it is thought provoking, which is why one watches documentaries in the first place.

That’s a good one too. It’s a pity that netflix doesn’t have either for instant.

It’s a pain to rent movies now. The blockbuster by my house closed 2 years ago. The two closest Hollywood videos closed… (including the downtown silver spring one just recently).

Netflix better catch up with adding instants, because they’ve put so many stored out of business. Now when you have an urge to watch a movie RIGHT now you have three options:

1) Search comcast on demand (CRAP.. such a tiny selection)
2) Add it to netflix queue and wait 2-3 days, at which time you no longer want to see the movie
3) Drive 15 miles to find ANY video store still open

I played tonight’s game on NHL 10 last night. Spoiler alert: Caps win 3-0 with goals by Jurcina, Ovechkin, and myself. Look for me out there tonight. I’ll be the one scoring a goal off a redirection in the second.

Height, no. Weight, about 20 lbs. heavier. Playing ability, exaggerated immensely. My age is inaccurate because Be a Pro forces you to be born in 1990. Also, none of the preloaded faces in that game look anything like me.

Cough syrup is what I thought of when I first tried it in college. I kept drinking it because I was sick of coffee by then and I needed something else.. and red bull can’s were really portable.

Eventually the taste grew on me and now I love it

I mean.. the taste of beer really is kinda nasty if you think about it. Imagine the cringe you probably made when you tried your first beer as a youngin’. If you don’t agree then ask yourself… would you drink beer if there was no alcohol in it?

Yes. Most of the time I drink beer it is not in large enough quantities for the alcohol to have an effect. Sometimes a beer is just damn refreshing and hits the spot without considering alcohol.

Here’s an excellent music video.

Just to warn, some may find it a bit disturbing.

Speaking of disturbing, I had to read, and watch the video adaptation of a story, The Caterpillar by Edogawa Rampo. It is easily the most disturbing, and messed up story I’ve read/seen in a long time. Short summary here. But the actual story is different from that and far more disturbing. He is more of a … carnal slave … and frequently tortured by his wife. That wasn’t the video we watched. Definitely not recommended for the faint of heart.

I have to go. But if I find one single dog hair when I get back, I'll rub... sand... in your dead little eyes. I also need you to buy sand. I don't know if they grade it, but... coarse.
