Now here’s an intense ad (I bet you didn’t know I was in the marketing biz) for my circa 199x game system BATTLEZONE CD. Wow, would ya look at the contents in that single box, the box which my very ‘tude-sporting mascot would be pained to remind you comes at a mere $250. I’ll let you be the judge of its value!

This movie is like if someone gave Bigwig Productions $10,000, a couple days at a barn in Canada and some old rubber monster masks from the Halloween shop.

In other words, awesome, right?

If, like myself yesterday afternoon, you’ve never seen this gem, I won’t talk too much about it here. The “twist” blew my mind, as did the way writer/star Jon Mikl Thor managed to sandwich awkward sex scenes back to back to back.

And the soundtrack? Seriously amazing. I’m on a relentless search for it now so I can get my Tritonz fix. Maybe I’ll just pick up some of Thor’s own albums! I really wanted to embed the trailer or maybe a music video, so I am very disappointed in YouTube at the moment.

I now “proudly” present to you Der Lumpenkerl, my first and last comic written in German, as well as the first in my series of Scanning in Old Shit from the GGS.

I toyed with the idea of adding a translated version, but I can’t decide whether or not it’s funnier just to leave it like it is. Here is a hint if you decide to Babelfish this badboy: It is a tragedy!

Edit: Okay, here’s a rough translation of the terrible German if you’re interested!
