It\u2019s mild porn, to be sure, yet it\u2019s of a sufficiently experimental nature to be called an art project. No dialogue, that I could notice, other than the occasional voice intonation in the soundtrack. <em>Nerdy Girls<\/em> is currently billed on Abed\u2019s very NSFW Tumblr blog by him thusly: \u201cIt is an erotic mystery.\u201d Mr. E, \u201cerotic mystery,\u201d get it? OK. This is a far stretch from Abed\u2019s first feature-length film, <em>Devil&#8217;s Muse<\/em>, that dealt with the Elizabeth Short\/Black Dahlia murder of the 20th century. That was a movie about an actress named Lisa Small (Kristen Kerr) in a film about the murder of Short, and the tagline is \u201cHollywood murders women.\u201d From there Abed has directed a few other features along the lines of modern borderline mainstream sexploitation. This is fine. Abed has said that it\u2019s really \u201cabout sex.\u201d So sex it is. But this movie is a drug fueled trip into his psyche that objectifies women in the extreme as they float about his livingroom and bedroom, silently touching themselves in various states of undress while that ethereal music works is ambient magic. The whole theme of girls as nerds being secretly sexual goddesses and turning on the eroticism behind closed doors is a powerful one here. Abed\u2019s special star of the video is Sophia Jade, and she looks the part of a dorm room nerd girl fresh out of the library with thick, black-rimmed glasses. But like that nerdy girl you knew back on the block when you were in high school she can also quickly show you she\u2019s much more woman than nerd once behind closed doors and given the chance to explore that side of her personality. Isn\u2019t that the whole attraction to the fetish? That the nerdy girl is a undiscovered gem for the guy who may not have the time, inclination or self-confidence to go after the popular hottie who is goung to end up on the arm of the varsity football hero? She may be a slightly awkward nerd but she\u2019s sexy with her clothes off and she\u2019s yours right now (mu-ah-ha). In a nod to the recent wave of hipster retro-trendiness, Abed includes a 2D and a 3D version of the film on this DVD, as well as the requisite 3D cardboard-and-plastic glasses. There\u2019s also a bonus scene (haha, I\u2019m so punny) and a very polished and tripped-out (trip wave?) music video. <em>Nerdy Girls<\/em> is a very smart and well produced released yet one that retains an underground porny DIY ethos.
