Nerd

Thanks to a movie who's name is a French ruler and a Swedish explosive combined; the nerd market has sky-rocketed in recent years.

The latest movie to jump on this bandwagon is a German (awkward) love story called: "Eagle Vs Shark."

Now that the trailer is released. I can't wait till the message boards on imdb fill up with massive comparisons between, dare I say, Napoleon Dynamite and this movie (Eagle Vs Shark). Look out for the "Eagle Stole From Napoleon" and "Eagle is everything Napoleon Tried To Be" groups to form in the coming months. Most of the comparisons are quite blunt: bizarre phone conversations, funny one-liners, unattractive mid twenty-year olds, lower-middle class community, poppy toy keyboard music, and this...

In all fairness, this is exactly what the producers want us to think. They want us to think of Napoleon Dynamite. Napoleon made a ton of money and they want to keep that novelty going as long as possible. Some differences: Eagle Vs Shark is German, rated R, has scenes of animation, and what appears to be a big story arc, the main dude there needs to kill someone. Well, as the saying goes: "looks like we need to wait till the movie comes out to see what movie is more nerdier."

Video Game Nerd

Picture Maddox and his sarcastic tongue in a 8 bit world and you have The Angry Video Game Nerd. Sometimes over the top but most of the time pretty gosh darn funny, this Nerd plays and critiques awful video games of the past (he has since open up his horizon and reviewed Teenage Mutant Ninjas Turtles Three,the movie). Well, this black framed geek, i mean nerd, has posted his new game: Ghostbusters, which i'll include in the post. If you are new to The Angry Video Game Nerd, check out his website and watch the reviews of Back to the Feature and The Karate Kid, both great critiques and a good place to start.

P.S - Maddox has a new post as well.
