king of kong:a fistful of quarters posters to give away

Thanks to publicist extraordinaire Linda, I have some King of Kong:A Fistful of Quarters posters to give away. If you want one, send your mailing address to me at tampafilmfan(at)aol.com and I’ll mail you one. First come, first served; while supplies last.

What is the film about, you ask? Read on:
 
A middle-school science teacher and a hot sauce mogul vie for the Guinness World Record on the arcade classic Donkey Kong.
 
In 1982, Billy Mitchell became the Guinness World Record high-score holder for the video game Donkey Kong, with 874,300 points. In 2003, after months of practice, Steve Wiebe completely decimated Billy’s record with an unimaginable 1,000,000 points. But Billy wasn’t going to take the defeat sitting down, and the two men took on an ultimate championship to determine who would be the king of Kong, all of which was captured in this fun documentary.

Film critic Bob Ross gave King of Kong:A Fistful of Quarters a B+.
