First, I’d like to announce the winners (THERE ARE THREE!) of our Louie: Season One giveaway:
Joseph Klein*
Brandon Duncan
Chris Spicer
Whooaa! You guys! What a great surprise that three of you won! You can all set up a schedule of who gets the DVD when at your leisure. Just kidding. You each get your own! Congrats.
Now, this week, we have something very different. As you may know, Fright Night is premiering in theaters on August 19th. “Yes, I’ve had it in my calendar for many months. What are you getting at?” – You. Well, do you know they wear boots in that movie? Do you know they wear GIORGIO BRUTINI boots in that movie? Well, they do! Now you know. Impress all your friends with that bit of Hollywood knowledge and then impress them even more when you say, “I am actually wearing those boots RIGHT NOW.” And maybe it will even scare them a little bit? Because it’s a scary movie. Win/win. Oh, unless you lose the contest. Which most of you probably will because there is only one winner. Good luck!!!
To enter to win:
- “Like” us on Facebook.
- Login to Videogum with your Facebook account.
- Comment with the place you will wear these boots where people will be the most impressed.
Comments must be submitted here by logging in with your Facebook account by Thursday, August 18, 6PM EST. You can still play along if you just want to comment with your Videogum commenter account, but you can’t win! Only with your Facebook. I’m sorry. Also, only submit once! And then a winner will be chosen at random. Greeeeeeaaaaaatttt!
*I would like to disclose that Joseph Klein (AKA “Joe Klein”) is a friend that I have had in real life for many years. One time I even lived in a house with him and we had a connecting door between our rooms. One time he got really mad at me for leaving an orange in his bed as a prank which I had done a time before that but I didn’t do it THAT time. But I do know him, and though the winners are chosen randomly, it does feel weird that a person I know won. But it was random. So. Now that is disclosed. I know Joe. Do I like him? I’m not sure. He’s been a lot nicer to me since I got a job at Videogum.

I don’t get how leaving an orange in a bed is a prank. How is that a prank? Unless the orange was peeled, so it squished down into his sheets. Or maybe it was rotten and had a smell?
He expected a grapefruit in his bed
It didn’t make sense which is why it made me so mad which is why it was so funny I guess? It was not peeled.

Definitely #13 in George Clooney’s all time Mr. Cool Prank list
If I win, I promise to one day wear these boots while walking all over you.
I will wear them in a box
I will wear them with a fox
I will wear them in a house
I will wear them with a mouse
I will wear them here and there
I will wear them anywhere
Holy shit! Those ARE some good looking boots! Now this is my kind of contest.
I would wear them to poker night.

“These are the Chinese symbols for outstanding child support warrant.”
Baccarat’s dress code too royale for you?
I would wear them as a change-up from my more formal pointy boots.
Sheeeeeit, I’d wear them to Videogum meetups.
Whoa, hey, Monsters are pretty attractive! No hetero.
Ukraine.
No, YOU kraine!
i won’t wear them, but they’ll make a wonderful edition to my shelf of Fright Night memorabilia.
Farmer’s Market.
I’d wear them in dark alleys.
Here is a fact that was weird 20 years ago when I was a kid and is STILL weird. One of my closest friends had, as his favorite movie of ALL TIME, Fright Night. Until he was about 17.
Then he changed it to The Last Starfighter.
Then he went to Film School. After graduating, he STILL claimed that these were better movies than Citizen Kane (which he’d admit was “good in its day”) and Blue Velvet (“pretentious BS”).
He worked in film for a while and kept trying to get financing to shoot his short (about an IT guy who hates to get real mail) or his feature (about a feudal gang of warriors living secretly in the tunnels under New York — which I cowrote! It was so stupid!) and he hated anything that didn’t have production values “on the level of The Last Starfighter or even Fright Night.” He didn’t want to “shoot a movie that didn’t look at least that good.”
Yes, it was a great source of dread to him that he’d shoot “The Underground” and it wouldn’t look as amazing as Fright Night. What a shadow that movie cast across a generation.
i would wear them to the office of whomever blocked my ability to log in to facebook at work and ask them to kindly let me log in just for a contest. i think this would require bill & ted style contradictory time travel, though.

I would wear them whenever I DON’T go out. I would be far too worried about ruining them, as I have a penchant for destroying shoes. Which I guess you could argue is because I buy poor quality shoes, and that if I had these shoes I wouldn’t destroy them because they are of a finer quality. Okay, I’m changing my answer: I would wear them whenever I DON’T go out, so I can put my feet up on my coffee table and feel satisfied about how baller I am. BALLER.
I seriously want to see this movie, if only because the Doctor is in it.
I promise, I mean this in the most un-troll-like way possible, but I need someone to explain to me how to feel good about all of the “web 2.0,” “synergy,” “web marketing for dummies” posts lately. Hard as I try to avoid feeling my skin crawl, I can’t help it. The link aggregation posts and the contests…i feel Iess and less inclined to click past my rss on both videogum and the superficial. Anybody have any words of comfort? Do I just accept this progression as the inevitable commercialization required for a blog to continue nowadays? Am I the only one feeling this way? Just curious.
I will wear them to the movie “Fright Night” starring Colin Farrell where I will watch the film. When the boots appear on screen, I will promptly freak out with reckless abandon about my excitement that I am wearing the same boots that are appearing on screen. This should impress my fellow moviegoers greatly.
Thank You.

i’d walk. everywhere. ’cause those boots are made for walkin’.
Don’t let Cundela win. She’ll just ruin these in one of her “shoe baskets.”
i will wear them at the honkey tonk.
I will wear them to my trial for staking what I thought was a withered evil old vampire. Unfortunately it was just Teri Hatcher drinking a V-8.
