One year at the Aspen Comedy Arts festival I was invited to serve on the Documentary film jury. One of the great joys was being able to award the grand jury prize to THE KING OF KONG. I had known about the film for a little while as one of my friend Clay Tweel was a producer on the film, but I think Aspen is where this film really started to build momentum in the public consciousness.
I already talked a bit here about the documentary controversy at the Oscars this year, but the biggest complaint at my Oscar party was this film being neglected. James Faust called it the best sports film of the year here, and he's right. I normally hate sports films but KONG is a big exception. Go out and rent this today if you haven't seen it.
