Are Revenge of the Nerds copying off Animal House

 Let me put this to do you in details to you that you would understand,
           
      Revenge of the Nerd came out in 1984 when Anima House came out in 1978

Both movies involved Erodes who would become popular in the end and do something right.


First, it started with: Animal House


  Starting the late John Baluchi as 'Bluto' and the late Stephen Furst as 'Flounder' in the Delta Tai Chu which are considered losers of the group which would do nothing but start riots and party most of the time.

  But the dean had other plans. He wanted them off the campus for good. Having the Omega's (one portrayed by a young Kevin Bacon at the time) take over the campus and throwing the Delta Tai Chu out.
     Donald Sutherland was one of the professors in the movie. He was on the side of evil as many of them wanted Delta Tai Chu out for reckless behavior.
   At the end of the movie, the Delta Tai Chu gets the last laugh when it comes to a race during their homecoming parade which they ruin.
  What I like most about this movie is the hilarity, especially when Baluchi's character, wearing a toga, destroys someone's guitar so an annoying song could end.

How does this compare to Revenge of the nerds?

    Well first off, two teenage collage nerds (one played by Robert Carradine) are going to a college and are enrolled in Alpha Betas.

Pissing off the Jocks of the college, calling them: "NERDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
They eventually gent drunk and ruin their campus in the process. They kick out the nerds and they are forced into the gymnasium.
Their coach (played by John Goodman) seems to bully the Dean feeling as if he too was a nerd as well.
Gilbert and Lewis are met up with their buddies, Pointdexter (who has goofy red hair) Booger (who picks his nose), Wormser, Takashi (an Asian nerd) and even a young kid who seems to be in his teenage years.

    Ted McGinley portrays the villains of the lead jock who thinks of them as nothing but nerds and doesn't want them to even be a part of society, let alone be in the school.

  The nerds soon find love, one of them is actually one of jock's ex- girlfriends who the lead nerd made out with and they eventually, by the end put on a show the blew the competition out of the water.
   Even if the jocks didn't agree, the dean finally stood up to John Goodman (who was the coach) and said they can be in the gym.


How do they similar and differ to being college movies?

   First off, I feel the plots seem differ by not only writing and sound score but also the situation of story.
   Yes it is from the point of view of college students that are misfits, but it seems that, in these situations, the man leads are losers.

   They find their way to get to where want to be in life, and to even stay in college as well.

Both Movies are worth a watch that is for sure.

We just lost Bernie Casey from Revenge of the Nerds who portrayed the U.N. Jefferson and was helpful with the Nerds all the way through the end.

A lot of shows now a days are starting to become nerd friendly. Showing losers, even if they are at a school, university or even at camp where they are a pack of losers that end up becoming winners.

These two movies might have started the trend, but it hasn't ended yet.

Neverending Story Movies

  Based on the stories told by Michael Ende, The Neverending Story is about a book a boy named Bastion buys after being chased by bullies. He goes to the school and hides from them and starts to read.

 Once he starts to read, it feels as if the book is coming to life and he is bringing the story to reality. There are characters in the story. One named Atrayeu and his horse Artuk who drowns in the swamp of sadness. He even has to overcome obstacles that would kill him as well but eventually Falkour is there to help guide him as well give him a peaceful advice you would read in fortune cookie.
They are on a mission to save the childlike empress who was sick, but all she really needed was to be given a name. But I'll get to that later.
He also runs into a rock biter which was a huge rock man as well.
           After his horse drowns, Atrayeu is saved by another creature named Falkour. A white dragon who somewhat looks like a tampon, he saves Atrayeu and takes him to the childlike emprises.

            She starts to explains as their world crumbles, it is up to Bastion to save them by giving her a name so he shouts out "MOONCHILD!" First off, you can barley hear what he's saying, but he enters the book and tells her his late mother used to call him that. And that's where it ends. Oh, but before it does, he flies back home of Falkour and chases after the bullies.

  I thought this had to be one of the best of the three movies. Even if it didn't make sense when I was a kid, now I just love it. It had heart, it was amazing and even if it's about a boy with a dead mother and nowhere to go in life, he finds a huge adventure in a book! Two thumbs up.


And then we have the second one. What do I think about this one. Not as great as the first, but it's ok.
   It's called "Neverending Story II: The next Chapter" It stars the late Jonathan Brandis as Bastion this time and they show his father.
Bastion is more of a wimp in this one, no offence to Jonathan Brandis in this movie. He goes into the book this time. Atrayeu is also played by another character as well as the child.
This time there was something else that was destroying the Neverending story and it was a woman named Xaydie and her wishing machine that every time Bastion made a wish he would lose a memory like a memory of his father or mother. A rock biter and Falkour are back, but the rock biter has the baby. Whatever.

His father soon realizes he is in the book and reads it. Eventually he finds out about the Silver City in the book and reconcile.


   Those two were ok movies but the third, what the HELL WERE THEY THINKING?????


First off, the first movie was amazing and breathtaking. The second one was ok, maybe not worth it but ok, this one a train wreck from the beginning.


    First off, his father remarries a widow, strike one. Jack Black is in this, strike two. And don't make me even bring up any pictures on why this should never be shown to any human being EVER!!!!!!

      And this picture here, that's the rock biter. There's something wrong here. In the first one, the Rock biter is huge and tells Atrayeu about his hands and how huge they are, and this, he has a family and a baby. I mean I know in the second one, he had a son, and they didn't show much.

a   Falkour, don't even get me started. He looks retrarted and it seemed the animatronics are just horrible and fake. Even the original voice actor left and was replaced with, I don't even want to know.

    Oh strike three for having an actor who's a sh**y Bastion. I prefer the original or Jonathan Brandies over him any day. He was in Free Willy for god sake.


Well that's Neverending Story Movie's in a nutshell, but If I were you, I would stick to the book and the original movie because they were what's made the Neverending Story what it truly was. That and a song to go with it.


   Till then, beware of the swamp of sadness and

MOONCHILD!!!!!

16 years later

I don't believe it has been that long. The scars still fresh in our mind. I was in eleventh grade and we were the first class to know about when our teacher turned on the tv.

  New Yorkers knew abut it at 8:30 am. So many lost, so many hurt, so many memories. There's a new Tower today that is taking over but the first two World Trade Center towers are always going to be lights shining in the sky as a memory to the lost souls of those two towers. My mom lost her cousin in one of them. I never met him but he seemed like a very nice gentleman.

  It was a beautiful day on September 11th and well... it was tragedy later that day.
  I don't know why, but I felt that particular day was not going to be the best day.


Today we still remember the day as Remembrance day. When every president from Bush to well (I'm not gonna say his name but you know who) stay silent while they chime the bells for every plane that died that day and one that sacrificed their lives and crashed on a ground in the fields in Pennsylvania.
16 years later, we can still hear the planes and feel the pain.

   But we need to know that we do not fear the terror that came upon that day. We know that this one of those days that changed history.

Remember 9/11 and the twin towers and the fallen heroes.

Till them God bless America
