Dorkgasm Gonzo Is God

            When I saw the premise for MORAL KOMBAT I was ready for battle. I thought it would be another typical take on video game violence, and its effect on the youth of America. Normally these commentaries offer a single side, usually focusing on Jack Thompson, his crusade, and ridiculous statistics and "facts" that lean toward "video games are bad mmkay???". MORAL KOMBAT is something different. The director, Spencer Halpin, gives you all the angles and lets you decide.

            This was the first film I had the honor of seeing at this year’s “It Came from Lake Michigan”, and boy, was it a doozy. Unfortunately I missed the opening sequence, which I’m told was absolutely boobtastic, but I didn’t feel like I was confused at all. It starts out with typical situations bringing six people together in a remote cabin in the woods; only they are not so typical this time around.

            Arriving super early before the start of the festival, I was waiting around for the Uwe Boll press junket to begin. Wayne was rushing around, setting up volunteers, so I could not get too much of a chance to talk to him. I ran into Bill Zenobia, who told me the press meeting was changed until later in the afternoon. I sighed, and settled in for some more Super Mario World on my DS. After a couple of levels, I turned the game world off and began to settle in for the long haul. Suddenly, I heard a bit of a buzz.

Well hot damn! I like the use of talent, and the cinematography looks stunning... Wait, did I just say that about a Uwe Boll film? Huh... Still not used to that!

Yeah, I have the new Britney Spears CD. Eat me. It's actually pretty damn good. Infinitely danceable and other such nonsense.

If anyone cares, I know you all have embarassing CD's. Post them, and we can all laugh at each other.

Aside from some thoughts I have about rearranging the look and feel of the site, I have some nifty promo ideas. I'm posting here because I know staff reads blogs and if any readers bother to read our blogs their opinion would be good too.

            Day 2 for me didn’t start until 2 p.m. on Saturday. It wasn’t because I was sleeping; I had to work the other job that morning. I was smart enough to bring my own food this time; I had sampled the fare yesterday and found it akin to lead sitting in one’s stomach.
