Let us cast our minds back to the early days of fantasy role-playing... In the early '70s, Ed Whitechurch ran "his game," and one of the participants was Eric Sorenson, a veritable giant of a man. This story is essentially true: I knew both Ed and Eric, and neither denies it (although Eric, for reasons that will become apparent, never repeats it). The gist of it is that Eric... well, you need a bit more about Eric. Eric comes quite close to being a computer. When he games, he methodically considers each possibility before choosing his preferred option. If given time, he will invariably pick the optimum solution. It has been known to take weeks. He is otherwise in all respects a superior gamer, and I've spent many happy hours competing with and against him, as long as he is given enough time. So... Eric was playing a neutral paladin (Why should only lawful, good religions get to have holy warriors? was the rationale) in Ed's game. He even had a holy sword, which fought well and did all those things holy swords are supposed to do, including good or evil (by random die roll). He was on some lord's lands when the following exchange occurred: ED: You see a well-groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you see a gazebo. ERIC: A gazebo? What color is it? ED: (Pause) It's white, Eric. ERIC: How far away is it? ED: About 50 yards. ERIC: How big is it? ED: (Pause) It's about 30 feet across, 15 feet high, with a pointed top. ERIC: I use my sword to detect whether it's good. ED: It's not good, Eric. It's a gazebo! ERIC: (Pause) I call out to it. ED: It won't answer. It's a gazebo! ERIC: (Pause) I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows. Does it respond in any way? ED: No, Eric. It's a gazebo! ERIC: I shoot it with my bow (rolls to hit). What happened? ED: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it. ERIC: (Pause) Wasn't it wounded? ED: Of course not, Eric! It's a gazebo! ERIC: (Whimper) But that was a plus-three arrow! ED: It's a gazebo, Eric, a gazebo! If you really want to try to destroy it, you could try to chop it wih an axe, I suppose, or you could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try. It's a @#%$*& gazebo! ERIC: (Long pause - he has no axe or fire spells) I run away. ED: (Thoroughly frustrated) It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo, and it catches you and eats you. ERIC: (Reaching for his dice) Maybe I'll roll up a fire-using mage so I can avenge my paladin... reprinted from cyberspace

Inga Reviewed by Mikeninja 2.5 stars After her mother dies, seventeen year old Inga goes off to live with her attractive 30-something aunt Greta. Greta is sort of in a financial bind due to her young lover Karl who is draining her finances. When the quiet and shy Inga arrives she attracts every man she meets. Greta, not realizing the growing attraction between her kept boyfriend and her sultry niece, plans to sell off Inga's affections to a wealthy playboy who craves innocent girls but the entire plan fails when Inga hops in the sack with Karl and the two run off together . . . Inga was a scandalous Swedish sin and sex erotodrama from the late 60's reissued and restored as part of Seduction Cinema's Retro-Seduction Cinema line. The VHS edition contains a beautiful print of the B+W film, some outtakes, two trailers for Inga and a third for the sequel, The Seduction of Inga. At first it seemed to me that Inga was going to be an over hyped melodrama but after Inga (Marie Liljedahl) arrived (about halfway through the film) it was easy to see why the film caused such a sensation. Marie Liljedahl was a very hot Swedish sex kitten whose nude scenes crackle with sensuality. She in 3 or so nude scenes and two sex scenes, the first being the best a solo scene, pleasuring her self in what is probably the most erotic cinematic moment of 1967. In fact the handful or so of other ladies who bare their wares are simply wooden window dressing compared to her. Storywise the film is a ripe melodrama that makes Peyton Place seem like Sesame Street. Even without the nudity the film's frank plotline involving sex, gigolos, pimping and the seduction of innocents would have shocked the hell out of most audiences of the time. Its central characters are mostly unlikable and Inga gets used by almost everyone. That said its a wonderful time capsule of late 60's sin and passion and definitely worth a look for Marie Lilhedahl alone.

Night of the Living Dead Reviewed by Mikeninja 3.5 stars I'm not sure if I can add much to the commentary on the political and social issues expounded upon in the sub context of Night of the Living Dead so I won't. Besides I do not really appreciate the film for its deeper meanings: issues such as oppressed workers, overcrowding and deep-rooted fear and loathing of the eating of human flesh don't really concern me. I'm more inclined to debate my own Zombie fortification and weapon gathering plans. Discussions of the merits of a dry wall hammer vs. a framing hammer or why a .22 caliber hand gun is just as useful as a shotgun and perhaps more so (rate of fire, accuracy and easy access to ammo vs stopping power). The other common genre trait I do admire NOTLD for is its overwhelming sense of doom. Very few good Zombie films have happy endings (Dead Alive is one of those few) and this is no exception. (This is actually more apparent in its sequels Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead but let's not nitpick; they shoot the hero in the head at the end). Overall I am not a big fan of NOTLD It is a bit slow and most of the characters get what they deserve. That said I am eternally grateful to the film for it spawning one of my favorite genres and I feel that it's worthy of its classic horror film status, it's just not my first choice for Zombie entertainment. Elite Entertainment's Millennium edition is maybe the 10th or 11th pressing of Romero's venerable Zombie classic. It is by far the most definitive edition to date and hopefully the final word (for at least a few years, but I wont hold my breath.). The print quality of the film seems about the same as Elite's previous laserdisc release (and subsequent Special Collector's Edition DVD release), which is the best print I have ever seen of the film. Easily far superior to the endless public domain prints that have flooded the market. Some of the supplements will be familiar to owners of the LD and first DVD such as the short film parody The Night of The Living Bread, the two audio commentaries (one with George Romero, John Russo, Karl Hardman and Marilyn Eastman. the second with Bill Hinzman, Judith O'Dea, Kyra Schon, Keith Wayne, Russell Streiner and Vince Survinski), theatrical trailers, television spots and original commercials by Image Ten, Inc. New to this edition are it's flash menu screens, interviews with Judy Ridly and final interview with star Duanne Jones, the usual collection of stills of props, posters, and photos, the entire shooting script, and of perhaps greatest interest to George Romero fans, is a preview and footage of the "lost" film There's Always Vanilla. All in all a fantastic release which makes any previous incarnation obsolete. I'm looking forward to Elite's next millennium edition release of Re-Animator.
