MTV's Lost Weekend
Looks like there's going to be a film about the infamous "Lost Weekend."

Probably a good thing I was 8 years old at the time and not eligible to enter.
I could handle the drinking but I'm not touching the drugs.

Too bad the whole thing isn't on VH's lost weekend. Assume just a part is used.

Actually, looks like it is all about VH. A 14 minute short.

Really looking forward to seeing this. Those MTV contests were fantastic, too bad it's just a short movie about it.
One weird thing that sticks out for me from this article to me is that the VH contest winner, Kurt, suffered brain trauma years before the Lost Weekend took place. I've always thought something was "off" about that guy in all the VH Lost Weekend footage I've seen and subsequent interviews with him... including that interview from The Inside magazine which was followed up with many redactions to his story.

There is a chapter in the book I Want My MTV about this. <spoilers> I think the chapter is titled, "He has a metal plate in his head", and it briefly recounts how the guy was really in no physical shape to be taking part in the "prize". I guess the booze, drugs and groupies nearly killed him and he's actually legally blind today due to previous medical conditions and bad decisions.

All it takes is one asshole. this is so sad. It's not the guns it's the assholes with the guns. Even if you take guns away from the assholes of this world they will just find some other way to cause...
