Straight-to-DVD Part One

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton often makes fun of actors whose movies travel straight-to-DVD. And rightfully so, because who would cough up the $12.50 movie ticket for a piece of cinematic garbage like Into the Blue 2: The Reef? Note to Audrina Patridge: Please go away, thanks.

But guess who made me watch not one, but TWO of these lovely films? If your answer was Luke Nerdwalker, you're correct. Good job. If your answer was Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald), well you're wrong, but I'm pretty sure that man could get me to do plenty of things that are worse than watching crummy movies.

Moving on. Keep in mind that I'm not insulting my nerdy bf's entire taste in films, just two gems we watched together in the early stages of our relationship: Resident Evil: Degeneration and Surfer, Dude.


First, Awesome Nerd picked out Resident Evil: Degeneration for us to watch with his best friend from high school (let's call him Nerd #2). Now you should know that before Mr. Nerdtastic entered my life, I didn't play many video games. In fact, my video game career is limited to a few hours of Crash Bandicoot on my dad's PlayStation and a couple feeble attempts at Mario Kart. Thank Sigmar (nerd reference) that my poor skills in race car games have not reflected on my driving record. Whew.

Anyway, Degeneration is an animated movie based off of the Resident Evil video games that Nerdman and Nerd #2 both like. I could try to explain what the film was about, but I really have no idea. And not because I wasn't paying attention either. No, Nerdman TALKED THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOVIE.

I think he was trying to give insight or maybe distract from how bad the film actually was, but either way, he sure was entertaining. And adorable. AND while I had absolutely no idea what Nerd of Worldcraft was talking about, his passion in his explanations made me like him even more. Go figure. Not only did I want to date him, now (gasp) I wanted to embrace the nerdiness for myself. It seemed like fun.

Of course, Mr. Nerdtastic's movie night didn't end there.

To be continued, dude...
