DM's quest for work

[Drunk Monk]

My column started as 'Chollywood Rising' which I thought was super witty at the time because it was an industry term a decade ago. But that faded. No one uses it now. So I switched. I think the trickiest thing for me reviewing my genre has been not to come off too Joe Bob Briggs sounding. I so want to poach his 'fu' usage as in 'chainsaw fu, sledgehammer fu, icepick fu...' That and his breast count were brilliant. He was a fav reviewer for years. The only thing I got is the 'swordfights' schtick, which I only use here, and it's something I poached off a KF brother who used to always say in his personal reviews that any movie could be improved with the inclusion of a giant robot.

DoG doesn't do columns, but my editor pondered the idea of doing some sort of video series. We'll see what comes of this. I'm hopeful. Working for DoG enables my inner nerd...or my inner geek. It's a UK thing originally.
