Hey folks - Marty Day here - your editor in chief and all around awesome guy.

Today, we embark on an exciting new day for us at Blast-O-Rama, as we move from the world of blogging and dip our toes into the world of live events, as thanks to the team at Tugg.com we are sponsoring a local screening of the Japanese cult classic film - Battle Royale!

One of the most controversial films in history, now available for the first time ever in America! In the near future, the economy has collapsed, unemployment has soared and juvenile crime has exploded. Fearful of their nation’s youth, the Japanese government passes The BR Law: Each year, a 9th grade class is sent to a remote island where they will be locked into exploding neck collars, given a random weapon, and forced to hunt and kill each other until there is only one survivor left. Chiaki Kuriyama (KILL BILL) and screen legend Takeshi Kitano (BOILING POINT, BROTHER) star in the movie that has been argued, acclaimed and banned around the world. More than a decade later, it remains one of the most savage, shocking and emotionally powerful films of all time.

…that is, with your help.

Tugg.com is almost a Kickstarter for movie screenings - we need at least 80 of you to pre-purchase your tickets (at $12.01 a pop) by Monday, March 25th for the screening to go on as planned. If we do not reach this number, the screening does not go off.

If you’ve never seen Battle Royale before, it’s one of my favorite films of all time - and if you have seen it before, chances are, you’ve never seen it on the big screen.

Let’s make this an awesome event together. Share this with your friends and foes alike, and lets get together, break bread, and enjoy one of the best movies ever - Battle Royale.
