I try my best to post only horror items on this blog. I know that discussing topics other than horror is a slippery slope, and if I let myself go even a little bit it could become a routine. This is why I will only post those non-horror items which I consider to be of the utmost importance and gravity; earth-shattering announcements that simply must be conveyed to my readers.

At long last, Gymkata is being released on DVD.

I have a very special relationship with Gymkata. Everytime I visited J. in Montreal we would head over to the Metro Video at Du Parc. They had a phenomenal collection of cult movies, and nestled in their action section was a big-ass box full of gymnastic martial arts mayhem. As the store slowly replaced their VHS with DVD, I would enquire as to the purchase of Gymkata and each time I was denied. On a few occassions I offered to pay for the movie but let them keep it in perpetuity as their sole film considered irreplacable. Once again, not realizing my sincerity, my offer was denied. The last time I was in there, Gymkata was gone. And so was a little piece of my soul.

But now the world rejoices, for Gymkata will be released on January 30th, 2007. Truly we will witness the skill of gymnastics, and the kill of karate!

GYMKATA!
