On the one hand, this is a trailer for the CG movie based off of a computer game about hitting elves with bowling balls. On the other hand this Elf Bowling the Movie does raise an interesting theory about the origins of Santa Clause that I cannot help but find intriguing. Santa as a disenfranchised pirate who hones his skills until he can strike joy into the hearts of children around the world leaving nary a scrap of evidence he was ever there at all? Is Santa a joy ninja? A Pirinja? When is Bejeweled the Movie coming out?

The What?]]> Our coverage of the Elf Bowling series is admittedly quite light, but I'm sure most of you have at least cursory awareness of the PC, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance games. If not, I believe the Wikipedia description "In Elf Bowling, Santa gets revenge on his striking elf employees by using them as bowling pins" is fairly succinct.

Anyway, apparently someone thought it was a good idea to make Elf Bowling into a movie. Then they convinced a couple other people this was also a good idea. Surely dozens, if not hundreds, of people with varying opinions on the idea were sent to work on it, resulting in the direct to video release Elf Bowling the Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike. It's coming to DVD this October. I predict it will perform far better than DOA: Dead or Alive.

Thanks for the tip, Matt!Michael McWhertor
