Are you ever accused of being
obsessed with Scrabble or anything else? If so then you should direct them to a new documentary called
The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters that details a level of obsession that is mind boggling. I have
posted a review of this film on my blog along with my usual savvy commentary and wit (
click here for it). If classic arcade games aren't your style though you should check out the bevy of word-related documentaries that are out there (that also deal with obsessive people actually). I've recently re-watched
Word Wars (Scrabble) and
Spellbound (spelling bees) and then I've also recently discovered
Scrabylon (Scrabble) and
Wordplay (crossword puzzles). All of these are excellent films that are available through Netflix. Also in
the category of documentary films about words and language is
The Aristocrats ... but that's not for everyone ... watch
The Matrix too ... it rocks!
