ALL ABOUT
THE MOVIE
This FAQ (of Q's that have never actually been A'd) is split into two sections. General Information is, SURPRISE!!!, general information about the film and its creators. Stuff that Might Confuse You is about more specific things regarding the actual content of the film.
General Information
What the hell is it?
The Enchanted Nemesis is a movie that I, Joe, and my friend, Colin, spent several sad months of our sophomore year (2002) of college creating. We used a discontinued movie creation program for children, Microsoft 3D Movie Maker to do it. We did this because we are cool.
How come there's already a sequel? I never heard of the first one.
We uploaded the first one to the other site Joe runs, the not particularly popular www.listentome.net back in 2002. Unfortunately, because of the huge filesize, it was split into 8 parts and could only be watched after you downloaded all of them. Needless to say, it didn't exactly find a huge audience.
You can now download it at more reasonable sizes all in one go so go do that, okay? You'll have a ball maybe!
What is it about?
I dunno. Pendants? Yeah, that sounds good.
WHY?
We actually made the movies for our friend who left our shitty school before the second semester. He's one of the only people we know/knew who we haven't been able to show it to yet. Irony!!!
Why is the dialogue all text-based?
I dunno, why can't you read? The sequel happens to be full of wonderful voice-acting if that helps. Even so, if some text goes by too quickly or you downloaded a crappy version of the movie so it's hard to read something, don't worry about it. You'll figure out what's going on anyway...or not. Doesn't really matter either way.
How long is the movie?
56 minutes. Yeah, I know. The beginning is the worst part, too. It gets better as it goes along...well, eventually...sorta.
Is it okay for me to watch this with my kids?
Sure, just like everything else on the internet.
Didn't I see this on www.listentome.net?
Sure you did! But we thought it deserved its own webspace. What's that you say? You feel like seeing what the original page looked like? Well, that's weird. But here you go anyway.
I want a copy of 3D Movie Maker.
Hey, good for you. Since the program is discontinued, I've actually found pages where people are offering the whole thing up for download. It's about 200 MB, I think. Just look around on that internet of yours. That's what it's there for (and for porn). You should be able to find it (and a lot of porn).
Stuff that Might Confuse You
What's with all that "Where's Charlie?" crap?
Microsoft 3D Movie Maker, the program through which this movie was made, comes with a number of sample films to show you how its done. Those really cheesy voices that pop up repeatedly throughout the film are all from those sample movies which neither of us have actually taken the time to watch so we have no idea what they're about. However, the plotlines must be pretty complex because the sound bytes get pretty wacky.
Aside from the ones about Charlie and his party and the "Woah!" and "Oh no, a rat!" exclamations, some of the odder ones include a man saying "Each totem on the pole is a symbolic representation of one family" and some crazy guy saying "What do you want to be, Mongo? I can transform you into anything, as long as the spell is in my book." There are actually some really great ones we haven't even used for either film, like an apparently homosexual male saying "I'll show you my best trick ever."
Why is the word "fag" in this so much?
Yeah, I (Joe) feel pretty stupid about that. I guess I just thought that was a really funny word back in my sophomore year. I don't have anything against gay people. In fact, I've found them, on average, to be friendlier than most straight men. I KNOW! WHODATHUNKIT?!?
In general, there's just rampant (sometimes very strange) cursing all over the film. If it helps at all, I pay for it every day by feeling constantly ashamed. CONSTANTLY, I PROMISE.
This movie doesn't make any sense!
No, it kind of does, if you're paying real close attention.
But there are parts and bits of dialogue that REALLY don't make sense, even within the context of the madness that is this film!
Oh, well, sometimes we do reference things at random whether or not they actually work. For example, a number of the characters spout lines from Jackie Chan's classic, Rumble in the Bronx, at various points throughout the film. There's also a couple of references to some rap lyrics from a couple of different artists. I could detail these all for you but you don't really care anyway.
The characters also randomly fall in and out of a bunch of different dialects like Italian-American and Scottish. Why?
Why not!? Boom!!
