It's Comic Con Time! What's your other side of geekiness???

San Diego Comic Con 2010 starts today and lots of my friends are at SD as I speak. I've been to New York Comic Con twice and its quite crazy and massive. It's an experience everybody has to have once so we all can channel our inner geek (because being a geek is now so fashionably cool).

As this site is mostly devoted to 70% horror, cult and exploitation geekiness, there are a couple of other followings I am also a part of. Why am I going to tell you what these are?

Because an unknown masked man has pointed a gun to my head and demanded I tell you all!!!!

You all know some part of you has some other geeky following you're a part of...I'm just admitting it now because my life depends on it! OK so here we go.

• Star Trek: Yes folks, I'm 60% Trekkie. I watched all the series but I really dug TNG and DS9 mostly. I loved JJ Abrams reboot and I do have a few DVDs and toys in my home. Make it so!
• Harry Potter: I'll admit it. I read ALL THE BOOKS and have watched all the movies. Somehow back in 2000, I was led to believe it was acceptable for a man in his 20s to read a childrens book and I got hooked. Wands, potions, Voldemort and Hogwarts. I'm a muggle but I love me some magic.
• Back to the Future: Great Scott! This is my favorite trilogy ever (more than Star Wars or the Matrix, etc). I've always been a time travel diehard and really considered getting a DeLorean at one point (I'm not kidding)
• Tarantino: I'm a big Quentin Tarantino fan and have all his movies (well except Inglorious Basterds and Grindhouse (that shits gotta be one movie dammit!). We're all Q.T. fans in some form but his movies are totally MUST SEE for me.
• Kevin Smith: Yup, I dig the fat man from Jersey. I've seen all his films (well except Cop Out as I'll wait to see this on DVD). I've actually seen Smith perform his Evening with at Carnegie Hall. It was mega awesome.
  

OK...is that enough Mr. Masked Man with the very large hand cannon? I've admitted all my geekiness to the blogosphere. What more do you want??

You want others to tell everybody what their hidden geek cult following is as well? OK guys and gals, what are you a secret devoted follower of? C'mon now, time to share.

It's Comic Con time. It's the perfect time to reveal your inner geekiness. Umm and the masked man really wants to know.....

Rewind: Luther the Geek (Review)

Luther the Geek

Luther the Geek (1990)

Directed by Carlton J. Albright

[review was originally at Aylmer's Grisly Grimey Page of Unspeakable Horror, circa 1999]

Question: What happens when a young boy watches a carnival geek
bite the head off a chicken, drinks its blood, then grows up and gets imprisoned for killing towns folk, then gets paroled (?) and then is released on a small town?

Answer: Luther the Geek is born

From the first scene as rowdy rednecks start chanting "Geek! Geek! Geek!" as an inbred carnie rips off a chicken's head and chugs down the blood we all know this is going to be one odd zany film.

It was one of first movies I discovered from Losman's Lair of Horror. It features a crazy mute psycho going on a killing spree, some gratuitous nudity, a small mid-western town (with many helpless citizens) and had constant scenes of no dialogue.

What's not to love? This is why I watch horror movies.

And so the story unfolds.

Through a flashblack, little Luther watches this atrocious display of carnival monstrosity, bites his own lip and tastes his own blood.

Yum.

Luther, instead of going to school decides to go geek full time.

In do course he is paroled from jail because of good behavior?! Later, he terrorizes a mother, her daughter and the daughter's boyfriend.

The daughter is played by Stacy Haiduk (the chick from Seaquest and that old Vampire show on Fox).

Her naked shower scene fulfills the the horror requirement and reveals she has big boobies.

Yay...here's a clip you pervs (more like outtakes but with 50% more nudity!)

The best part of the film is the lack of dialogue. All we hear is Luther's disturbing clucking (yes like a chicken)

You know you want to hear him cluck......





Other scenes include Luther killing an old lady by biting her on the nose. Many people die, plot is totally removed and the ending is so anti-climatic I could have been eating KFC with Luther as I watched the film.

Luther is filled with twisted scenes, disturbing characters and sometimes unrelenting gore. Luther the Geek has many of these and that's why all I have to say after watching this film was: What the fuck?

Luther the Geek is so weird, its great. You will not have seen anything like this before.

It could have been titled chickenfucker, the Clucker, Luther: My insane uncle.

But with a sort of fucked up sense of humor it made me laugh.

In doing so it reaches into that plateau where you come away saying..shit that was weird. And that's all it was trying to be.
