King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters

For everyone who has been waiting for the seedy underbelly of competitive arcade gaming to be exposed, the wait is over! King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters documents one mans quest to become the worlds best Donkey Kong player and another mans fight to retain his title. I am not making this up.

Meet Billy Mitchell: Reigning King of Kong since 1982. 1982 also happens to be the same year he encapsulated his entire look. This hot sauce mogul has been enjoying the fruits of arcade game domination and will do anything to defend his reign as the King of Kong.

Meet Steve Weibe: 8th grade science teacher who is about to find out how hard he will have to fight to take the title of King of Kong. And he also learns the age old lesson that associating yourself with a man that is known as Mr. Awesome will always come back and get you in the end.

Meet two satisfied movie goers who were painted to their chairs as they watched the epic battle between good and evil unfold in arcades across the country.

If you haven't had your mind blown in a while, then I think it is time. The trouble of finding an independent theater in your area playing this film is worth it. We loved this movie, mostly due to the shock that Billy Mitchell is a real member of society and not a character of Ben Stiller's. the plot is rich with deciet, wierdness and a 70 year old man who wears a referee uniform and runs an organization called twin galaxies. These are the things that make movie magic. check it out here.

Real Talk

Last Saturday, Radiohead dropped a bomb and forever changed the music industry when they surprise announced that their new album will be released in just a week and a half, and that the price is up to each customer.
As of today, that Radiohead bomb is looking more like a bottle rocket, because the one and only R. Kelly just caused nuclear winter with his youtube only video for Real Talk.
I think I speak for America (North and South) when I say that I don't even know if R. Kelly is even human anymore. The music he makes is no longer just the voice of our generation. The music he makes is our generation. I mean, this guy has a career arc that defies math. Sure, he's always had some success, especially with hits like Bump and Grind and Ignition (remix), but ever since the Trapped in a Closet series dropped, his arc has been straight vertical. And speaking of Trapped in a Closet, we all would have been accused of smoking fools gold if we'd thought that he could ever touch that level of artistic genius again. So R. Kells did the only thing he knows how. He filled his blunt with pure pyrite, and he puffed and puffed until things got straight magical again. And that's when Real Talk was born.
Real Talk is actually just a bunch of real talk. How real? So real that he has to apologize in advance for how much profanity he uses, but he does note that profanity is just part of the real talk that happens when you are arguing with your girl. The only problem with this video is that he keeps it a little realer than real, which is way too real for this blog. Brown Sugar will not fully endorse the human language when the level of talk gets this real, and that is why I haven't posted the youtube video directly on this site. However, we will still loosely endorse it, and that's why you can click on a link to be taken to the video right here: Real Talk
Some people probably can't handle this level of real talk, but the way that I look at it is that if I was in a fight with R. Kelly on the phone, he could cuss me out all day and all night as long as he did it with that soulful croon. That man could sing his way into or out of anything.

Roid Rage

Gym goers beware! I read an article in a very informative and credible news source, People Magazine, about an altercation that took place between two men in a spinning class. The victim was enjoying his spinning class the only way he knew how, by groaning and shouting out, "You Go Girl!" When he was approached by another male in the class. A few words were exchanged and then the angry spinner picked up the loud man and his BIKE and threw him against a wall. This story is shocking, mostly because these men were not celebrities and I have no idea why they are in the pages of People magazine. The only non celebrities allowed are usually women who kill their husbands or lose a lot of weight. However I am grateful that this story crossed my path for I am a noise offender in all aspects of life, especially the gym. I even utter positive reinforcement to myself out loud when I work out like the aforementioned, "You Go Girl!" Thankfully I have not been to the gym in months or else I could have been the victim of a steroid raging man in a spin class.

this is what I imagine the enthusiastic spinner looked like at the time of his attack.

This is my father. He taught me about noises; the noises you make when you feel good and the noises you make when you feel bad and the noises that will make other people uncomfortable.
