We just launched our latest feature, Sounds Like Kong, and it’s so good we may have to leave our computers and pull a McCandless. In an exclusive interview, director Seth Gordon (the come up!) talks about his new ridiculously funny documentary/social study The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, and his buzz-laden upcoming flicks Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon and The Only Living Boy in New York. One of the best-reviewed films of the year, we also take an in-depth look at the nerdiculous controversy surrounding Kong and reveal the results from our badass photo shoot with Seth and a certain simian on location in Los Angeles. We think you’ll dig this one, so why not make like Koko and spread the word.

    It was a good flick but I’m beginning to have second thoughts after seeing the director’s faux-hawk! He can’t be serious.

    What point does Gordon have remaking his own movie? I don’t get this remake craze. Half of them don’t make money. I can’t imagine why Johnny Depp would want to be involved in a remake of a movie about Donkey Kong competitions. The guy can do whatever he wants.

    do you think he will really make super paper mario into a movie or was he playing around? i really enjoyed kok. billy mitchell wasn’t as evil as the reviews said. i actually wanted him to win. probably going to hell i know. good article.

    I think he would cast himself as Luigi or Princess if Mr. L.A. Mohawk makes Super Paper Mario. I’m kidding … I guess.

    This magazine puts in alot of hard labor seems like. I’m smoking bowls sitting on my ass waiting for my class at 4. Gotta go … take a shit. FUck ClasS!;)

    that is a scary monkey.

  14. metacritic, on October 4th, 2007 at 10:56 pm Said:

    rates an 86/100 with critics on metacritic.com but i had never heard of king of kong before seeing it here. somebody needs to be fired.

  15. real asshole, on October 5th, 2007 at 6:55 pm Said:

    Did you see how Billy Mitchell raised a ton of money for sick youths? Yeah, he’s a real asshole. The movie is a smear campaign and deserves to fail. Do research next time you write an article like this.

  16. this magazine, on October 6th, 2007 at 9:31 pm Said:

    this magazine is a part of something much bigger. i’ll be glad when that is open.

    this film played awful at my theater. played for about a week and then it was replaced by resident evil 3: apocalypse.

  18. xixixi, on October 9th, 2007 at 2:45 pm Said:

    The movie is a flop ignore!!! Hear that!! A big fat flippity flop and that’s what you deserve.

  19. only living boy in new york, on October 10th, 2007 at 7:03 pm Said:

    it looks like only living boy will not start production before the strike. the films are all on a list received by comingsoon.net. sucks. four christmases is in production now and it is on there but i am not half as excited to see that. the article on gordon made it sound like a drama but it is in fact a rather standard holiday comedy like meet the parents. but i enjoyed the article immensely. other movies sites take note.

    I had a babysitter that was from California with the same mohawk

    King of Kong is no longer in cinemas because it is not playing is Los Angeles

    Steve Wiebe is a personal hero
