Uh-mazing


With my usual faultless timing, I watched tonight a film that people raved about months ago. I am adding my voice to those raves. The King Of Kong, or A Fistful Of Quarters is superb. Besides having one of the most loathsome villains to be seen on the screen in ages, it also has one of the best analogies ever, watch out for the Obi Wan Kenobi explanation, it is splendid. Absolutely heart-wrenching and hilarious, the entire effort feels staged, except for the wonderful wife of the hero, who is never less than supportive and loving. Run, don't walk.
