Premutos

My boyfriend and his roommate have this little ritual that they do. Whenever they meet someone new they sit this person down and make them watch a movie called Premutos.
Now, my boyfriend (Jim) and I have been online buddies for years but hadn't met in person until about 4 months ago which is when we started dating. So, when this happened we went to his house and, with his roommate, watched this movie. Apparently a large amount of alcohol is needed to watch it, which in itself is a bad sign.

This movie is so horrendously horrible (the English dub at least), I just had to share it. So, let's begin!

First off, let it be known that the cover of this DVD has absolutely NOTHING to do with the movie. Why there is an uber angsty goth chick on the cover, I have no idea.

Premutos: Lord of the Living Dead is actually Premutos: Der Gerfallene Engel. It is a German film wirtten, directed, produced and starring by Olaf Ittenbbach. This film is surprisingly very sought after. Why, I really don't know. I can only guess that it is so bad that it is loved. Which is sort of how I feel about it.

The story is about the first fallen angel Premutos.

Wait.... that can't be right.... wasn't... Nevermind, attempting to make since of this film will cause your head to explode.

Anyways.

Throughout time Premutos is summoned many times to wreak havok. During the present time a book is dug up by a man's father, that man being Mathias (played by Olaf). Mathias has always been plagued by horrible visions of what is believed to be all the times when Premutos was summoned. Well, while his father's birthday is going on downstairs he begins reading the book, accidentally releasing Premutos. Actually, I believe he becomes Premutos, but I can't really tell.

So, Premutos is loose and so now it's time for the drunken party guests to fight for their lives against zombies. The fight scenes are pretty good and pretty amusing. Geek fights for the "hottie" of the film and depends her life with a tank.
Yes, a tank. Apparently people in Germany like to keep working tanks in their country home backyards.

This movie is just so weirdly odd that you have to see it for youself. Like many have said, the movie itself is not bad, it's the ear splitting English dub that does it.

But Dellamorte said it best:

"Premutos has it all. Everything from a Dominatrix sister, a gun shooting chainsaw swinging step-dad, to a deep DEEP sex scene that is questionable whether it is real or not; Not to mention a substantially healthy load of nice looking zombies. It also pays homage to classic horror films like Evil Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Scanners, even the dubbed version has a reference to the action opus First Blood (one of the funniest parts of the film)."

Nerds

Nerd–noun Slang.

1.	a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person.

2.	an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit

I think we've all come across at least one of these guys in our lifetime. Whether it be in high school, a book store or games stores, we've seen them and most don't really like or understand them. But ever since they lost the head gear, grabbed a webcam and grew a pair, we've welcomed them with open arms... we'll the internet has at least.

There is a massive amount of nerdy people on the web and I love watching them so I decided to compile a little list of my favorite ones. These guys are informative, intelligent but most of all, funny as hell to watch. So, without further ado....
Kitty Massacre's favorite nerds:

1) The Angry Video Game Nerd

I truly cannot get enough of this guy. Written, directed and staring James Rolfe, AVGN is calls Cinemassacre.com home. I love the AVGN because I use to be a big gamer myself in the days of Atari and Nintendo. Watching his videos sends me back to a time of giant running pads, Sega Channel and the urge to snap plastic guns on my knee.

The AVGN reviews games that I believed no one else had even heard of! I mean, I really thought I was the only person who had ever played Bible Adventures let alone owned it. His NES collection is more than impressive along with his knowledge of the games and accessories.

His website isn't just about games, there you will also find little movies that he has done and reviews of movies. Though, honestly, I just go to watch his game reviews. But either way, the AVGN holds a special little place in my heart.

2) That Guy with the Glasses a.k.a. The Nostalgia Critic

He remembers it, so you don't have to! Okay, so there's a lot to look at when visiting "That Guy with the Glass'" website, but what I go there for is "The Nostalgia Critic." He reviews movies that just make you die a little inside after watching it, but does it in a way that makes you glad that you at least know what the hell he's going on about.

His videos are hilarious and have almost cost me my computer monitor that just about met its demise with spewed soda.
Some notable reviews are "Top 11 Dumbest Superman Moments", "Howard the Duck" and "Tom and Jerry the Movie". But, really, you just need to watch them all.

The Nostalgia Critic has also reviewed Nickelodeon shows including ones from Nicktoons. I especially loved these reviews because, yes, I'm considered a "baby" and pretty much grew up on the Nickcoms, Pete and Pete, Salute Your Shorts and Rocko's Modern Life being my favorites.

There is much more going on on his site than just the Nostalgia Critic, so I definitely recommend checking out his site to see into this sharp tongued man's world.

3) WoW Radio

Okay, so this one is actually quite new to me, but I had to make a note of it. I'm not a huge WoW player, though I do log on every once in a while, but I felt the need to share this.

WoW radio is a group of experienced players who record radio and podcasts to help new players out. I have to admit I have underestimated the power of WoW. I truly never thought it was so popular people would actually get together to talk about everyday on a radio. Better yet, I never thought it was so popular that people would actually listen to it!

But it seems I was wrong since here it is!

It says on the website "We love the game, we are fans of it, but it is our duty to the community and our listeners to express full and frank opinions, backed up by solid arguments, facts and evidence." It seems like this is very serious business!

Ok, maybe it's not all business. It seems there is much fun to be had to listen to the show. So, for you hardcore WoW fans (or maybe just those who want to be) it might be interesting for you to check out this site.

4) That Chick with the Goggles
An adorable art nerd with nifty little cyber/ steampunk goggles on her head. Her videos currently reside on The Nostalgia Critic's website.

That's all I can say about her.

No, really, that's it. For some reason while writing these reviews my sound card (or something) has crappy out on me.

Maybe it felt threatened by these angry nerds and is simply protecting itself. Who knows? But it seems like this review will have to be saved for another time (hopefully soon). So, until then you can check out her blog of art here.

So, while there are more nerds to talk about, I guess I will have to save it for another time. Until then I'll be busy beating the crap out of my computer... err... I mean, loving it and being really nice to it in the hopes that it will play sound again.

help me...

Resident Evil 5 racist?

It seems that some people find the new Resident Evil a bit... racist. Really? Are they serious?

Yes, it seems that a group really does think this. A site called Black Looks goes on to say:

"The new Resident Evil video game depicts a white man in what appears to be Africa killing Black people. The Black people are supposed to be zombies and the white man’s job is to destroy them and save humanity. “I have a job to do and I’m gonna see it through.”

This is problematic on so many levels, including the depiction of Black people as inhuman savages, the killing of Black people by a white man in military clothing, and the fact that this video game is marketed to children and young adults. Start them young… fearing, hating, and destroying Black people."

Whoa, wait a minute now. Exactly how is this game about "destroying" black people? Exactly where in the game does the main character say "Sweet Jesus, we got darkies. Better kill 'em!"? And did they also fail to notice that all of the earlier games involved shooting white people? And while we're at it, what about the black partner? She kills them too!

There are just so many things wrong with this it is difficult to control my distaste about it.

I have played RE and really enjoy it. This blogger fails to see that it is not about killing or destroying black people. In fact, the real foes happen to be white and European.

One commenter of this blog went to say

"I’m black, I love video games, I love Resident Evil.

This chapter is set in Africa, so it makes sense to have black people in the game.

So many black people fought for their rights, rights to be equal to white people. And now they are equal…yet they don’t want to be in movies, books, video games, etc.

“I do find the images of violence against Black people to be problematic even if those Black people are supposed to be zombies or whatever.”

That just doesn’t make any sense."

This truly all is just a matter of opinion. Which is everyone is entitled to. But, really, do your research first.
