But as Gore is learning, it can be tricky--particularly for a Democrat--to bare his soul as part of a campaign roll-out.

No big deal, says the game's creator (Jennifer Jason Leigh): "They do it in malls; it's like having your ears pierced." She might be a stand-in for the writer-director, who in Scanners, Videodrome, Crash and The Fly has dealt creepily and eloquently with the disintegration of mind and body. eXistenZ, where Leigh and Jude Law get into a virtual reality game and can't get out, is more modest than its current twin...
