A Videogame Movie?Run Awayyyyyy!!!

So I managed to catch Gamer. And yes, it sucked. I guess I could end the synopsis right here but I'll elaborate some more since I know everyone out there in internet land is only dying for my opinion. Actually....believe it or not...the movie isn't as horribly bad as I expected. But then again that's faint praise as I merely got a train wreck instead of a nuclear holocaust. The idea actually had some potential; a reality game that uses real life people as avatars that are controlled by other people themselves forced to play a multiplayer deathmatch. What could have been a decent, if not overly stylish commentary on human will and the dark ugly truth about our own species resembling the snake eating its tail instead descended into mindless nonsense designed to shock and oddly revel in the violence it intended to make a commentary on. It went from making fun of a Uwe Boll movie almost to....well, becoming a Uwe Boll movie. Oh well.

Jim Cornette's Epic Rant about the new Monday Night "Wars"

I was going to offer my opinions about this show as for the first time in years I've actually watched both Raw and Impact but Jim Cornette so well discussed my thoughts that I'll instead yield the floor to him instead.
