Movie Review (By Cinco)

From independant director, Glen Tennis. Comes the the next hit family film, The Pillgrums. Starring everyone's favorite Grumster, Grum! This film takes us back to the days of the Mayflower and the Indians, as we follow the exploits of Grum.

The Pillgrums: 3/5

Topic: Should "Traditional Art"Medias be replaced with "Digital Art" Medias.

Art should never be phased out for a new medium, they should coexist like hamburgers and hotdogs.

and we know what we want.
And the future is certain
give us time to work it out."

Art Review: I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

109 years after the end of World War III, The super computer "AM". Has killed off all of humanity, leaving only 5 strangers alive to torture for his own pleasure. Harlan Ellison's "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" is short but memorable story that plays heavily on morality and the human psyche. The story is told from the point of view from one of the unlucky survivors Ted, arguably the "sanest" of the group as the others have either lost sight of what they were or in the case of another character Benny, has lost all of his past self and his humanity after being turned into a beast of horrors. The story does a great job of putting you in the place of Ted as he experiences the grotesque events unfold.

Its hard to explain more without giving away most of the good parts. But the short story is a definite good read if your looking for something different and interesting.

Crit Meh: Fernando the Great (rough sketch)

"Let me fall out the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better
On a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forever more"
- Tom Waits, Tango Till They're Sore

Violence:"Murder Simulators"

I found this graph to be a bit interesting considering the amount of controversy these titles stirred. I guess the moral guardians may be a bit off about video games causing violence.
