The King of Kong I should be working right now, but instead I'm playing this Donkey Kong flash game.  That damn monkey is relentless! 

Anyway, it's giving me a new-found respect for the champions of "The King of Kong: A Fistfull of Quarters," one of the best movies of the summer.  Official website here.  Seems to only be in big cities for now, but, by all means, try to see it.  So much fun, and, for a movie about trying to nab the high score in an ancient video game, it manages to speak to much larger social issues.  That sounds ridiculous, I know, but seriously, go see it.

I've managed to catch a bunch of really solid documentaries recently - Nanking (about the Japanese invasion of the Chinese city in WWII), Hear and Now (a deaf 65 year old couple decides to get cochlear implants), the 11th Hour (Dicaprio's environmental doc), and No End in Sight (a chronicle of how [badly] things have gone in Iraq).
