Inside the Mind of an Evil Blogger--"Blog", the movie

I'd say Joseph Duncan qualifies as 'evil' under even the most narrow of definitions. In addition to being a convicted child molester who advocated for the rights of sex-offenders, Joseph Duncan was a blogger who recorded his fight with what he believed were demonic powers online. Duncan would eventually become a mass-murderer.

I-Film has a short preview of an upcoming independent film which uses Duncan's blog entries as its basis. The unfortunate title of the movie is Blog. The clip is demented, choppy, twisted, and left me slightly nauseated. I'd say the director pretty much nailed Duncan's character with it.

I wonder what the socially useful value of the movie is? After learning what Joseph Duncan did to Shasta Groene and others, there is only one conclusion to draw about him: he is evil.

Evil does not need to be understood, only disposed of. Call me up when the sequel comes out: Blog II: Joseph Duncan Execution Video. I'd pay to see that.

So, the first movie about bloggers turns out to be about this piece of human filth? Maybe someone should crank out a treatment for Army of Davids as a reply.....
