In a blog posting Saturday, January 25, 2003, WG asks " does anyone know the name of that wonderfully low-budget Italian effort about the superstar game-designer who gets dramatically involved with the sad-ass SuperMario-like character in the game he's designed?"

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Gabriele Salvatores' <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0119794">Nirvana</a>, starring Christopher Lambert. Lambert, by the way, has a habit of starring in "really exceptionally bad films", and this flick is no exception.

Peter, are you the Peter of peterwrites by any chance?

Yes, that would be me.

Well, very damn cool, then. Always liked your blog.

Nirvana was a hoot.

and what was that film he was in where the serial killer was stealing only a single body part from each victim to construct his own body. way cool.

Lambert has done one great scene ever, at the beginning of subway he is fleeing in a stolen car and is changing tapes in the tape-deck and discarding the ones he doesnt like out the window, when he finds one he does like the tape player chews it up...
