eXistenZ
Ted: We're both stumbling around together in this unformed world, whose rules and objectives are largely unknown, seemingly indecipherable or even possibly nonexistent, always on the verge of being killed by forces that we don't understand.
Allegra: That sounds like my game, all right.
Ted: That sounds like a game that's not gonna be easy to market.
Allegra: But it's a game everybody's already playing.
eXistenZ is a wild thrill ride through a virtual game world of the same name. It challenges it's characters perceptions of reality and deftly enchants the viewer in the process. Unflinching, relentless, and casted to perfection, eXistenZ delves deep into the identity dilemma of life in an alternate universe with far more sophistication and wit than the Matrix trilogy could ever hope to muster. It is to Writer/Director David Cronenbergs credit, that the film accomplishes this without getting bogged down in the all too familiar miasma of thematic cliche and bombastic special effects. It depends more on the limitless inventions of the spiraling plot and the string of engaging characters that shine like stars (there are no small roles here). Undeniably creepy, eXistenZ is one of those rare film experiences that really sticks and will have you in its clutches long after the credits have rolled.
5 out of 5 Stars!

A Young Reed Richards
Adam Peniazek, one of our new neighbors from across the street breaks into his own aprtment after locking himself out for what seems like the dozenth time in as many days. Yes, he scaled the wall with his sandals on.
The Night of a Thousand Jello Shots!
For the most depravity, not the least, the wise debaucher attends our feasts!
1,016 Jello Shots
Strawberry Daquiri shots (Rum and Strawberry Jello)
Margarita Shots (Tequilla and Lime Jello)
Gin and Juice Shots (Gin and Orange Jello)
and the surprisingly potent
Lemon Drop Shots (Vodka and Lemon Jello)
Fifty Brownies
Orange Gummy Slices, Skittles, Spearment Gummy Slices, M&M's, Cherry Gummy Slices, Sour Patch Bears, Mini Sweedish Fish, JuJuBees, and of course Everlasting Gobstoppers.
A Keg of Pabst
and other illicit incidentals equals...
Happy Birthday Mike Scotto!
Shhh!!
Rebecca in her charming dress looks perfect besides those candids of Halston and Eartha Kitt, wouldn't you say?
Maggie know's the most delightful little japes, what a sweet girl.
Some people worked up some great sugar highs.
While others needed no help from the sweets whatsoever, but accepted it gladly.
Did you know that Maya's got cat-like reflexes?
Lauren's reflexes... less so.
But Ben's are spot on.
This dude was crestfallen that the keg had kicked. Don't worry slugger, there's still hundred's of shots to go!
Josh explains to me the that he isnt in fact slightly Jewish.
Some old favorites dropped by to pay their respects.
Cara, and her Magic Hat.
At several points in the evening I took in a trip at the park.
"I see youre admiring my Ankh!"
And what party would be complete without the impromptu lodger? This time played by the crowd favorite Mr. Macken

Store policy usually means you get another copy of the same bad game. This guy found a way around that.

"Watch this PBS Frontline documentary as 4 top students at one of China's most prestigious universities fail to identify where the famous Tianamen Square photo of the "Tank Man" is from. This alone should make you realize why companies such as Google and Yahoo bowing to China is a bad thing."
