Lame-Ass Nerds

The weekend was a complete bore. I watched Attack Of The 50 Ft Woman on Saturday night. It was terrible. If you want to literally waste 2 hours of your life on a crappy B-movie that tries very unsuccessfully to mix feminism with kitsch and a hit-you-over-the-head metaphor, then be my guest, but I nearly fell asleep over 100 times while watching this big piece of crap. In fact the movie was almost as poorly written as that last sentance. I thought that because it was directed by Christopher Guest, it might have a redeeming quality. I was sorely mistaken. Afterwards I went and got a couple of excruciatingly boring beers over at the old local haunt.

On Sunday I spent most of the day just laying around. I watched a lot of Kissing Jessica Stein again. I flipped back and forth between watching the Denver Donkey’s get whooped up on and the Blind Date marathon. The best part of the day came when I was watching The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers. I want to see the third one at the theatres so I figured I better get started. It’s kind of an ordeal. I mean, I spent four hours sitting on the couch watching that movie when you count bathroom, beer and dinner breaks. I suppose these movies deserve all the hype they get. I wanted not to like them, and to get to call them nerd flicks, and tell all you nerds to go watch star trek and let me know when they make a good movie, that’s not for nerds. You lame ass nerds. Then I’d hold my fist in the air and scream NERDS!!!! Like Ogre did in Revenge Of The Nerds (I, II and IV) after that I’d threaten to kick all your nerdy candy-asses (how come nobody hates nerds like they used to in the 80’s?). But I didn’t get to do that. In reality I really liked these flicks. A lot actually. The scenery, special effects, plot, characters, all done really nicely. So instead of calling myself a nerd too, I’m just gonna take back everything I said to you. Sorry.

I was actually looking forward to coming to work today.

Somebody save me.

    Bummer. For a minute there I thought I might not be the *only* person in this country who wasn’t into the Lord of the Rings movies. I tried, I really did. I saw the first one on opening night, and it was just so… long. I tried reading the first book too, and I couldn’t get into it. It’s not that I’m not into reading… I can’t get into fantasy, sci-fi, made-up worlds and things. What’s wrong with me that I have no interest in the LOTR phenomenon that is sweeping the country?

    Nerd.

    i’m with lux, I just can’t get into it… i’ve tried… and my friends (even some “cool” ones) have tried to get me into the movies, but I just CAN’T. I’d rather go through the torture of watching Lifetime than LOTR!

    DORK! (j/k)

    People don’t hate nerds like they used to because nerds run everything, and the jocks, (to use the “Revenge of the Nerds” reference) are now the ones who pump their gas.
