Existential Angst and the Virtual Celluloid Panacea

My life is shit these days, kidlets. I am slogging through the anomie of winter, chastened by reading Noam Chomsky and horrific books about the hideousness of Hollywood. I come home at 7pm each night, and immediately begin drinking well-made local beer until things get fuzzy. Hence, the no-post zone you all have been flying through recently if you read this rag regular-like.

However, there is hope. I found a little piece of pure joy on the web recently that I'd like to share with you all: namely, the Hollywood Mogul PC Game.

This is a fantastic little chunk of retro-gaming that basically lets you be the Executive Producer of your own Hollywood movie studio. Complete with your own hand-picked assistant, a talent pool of stars eager to do business with you, and going to your opening premiere with the audience.

So far I've released 6 films under the When You Were Five International logo, only to dig a multi-million dollar hole for all concerned. My own assistant isn't even taking my calls anymore.

But Hollywood loves a scrapper, and WyW5 Intl has a massive historical epic in the pipeline that will re-define the genre for years. Or get my virtual ass kicked to the virtual curb before the commissary opens for lunch.
