The Poojer Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 i have watched the movie more times than I can remember and really enjoy the movie. There are 2 specific parts of the movie that really justify the movie and explain what it is really about. When Pedro is off stage after Napoleons dance, and you see that smile come to his face, then when Napoleon smiles and nods his head as Kip and LaFawnda get ready to board the bus. Up to this point in the movie one could almost blow it off as a meaningless movie about pointless social misfits. but those 2 shots show how human they are, Pedro showing his appreciation for what his freind Napoleon just did for him, and the look of pleasure on Napoleons face to see his brother and LaFawnda happy to have found their apparent soulmates. On the surface this movie seems to be really about nothing, but this is a movie about people caring for each other! Thats it, just wanted to express that. By the way...I caught you a delicious bass!
shrader Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 I watched this movie a few weeks ago. I may be in the minority here, but I thought it really sucked. I laughed once during the entire movie. I'm not trying to steal your thread here, I just don't get it.

And I watched the movie in a state that, shall we say, makes things seem hysterical when they might not normally be so. Dumbest.Movie.Ever. But the teenyboppers liked it, so you should too lest you be thought uncool...

Mel Brooks' stuff on the other hand.... I've never sene Napoleon Dynamite, tho...so I can't comment on that.

BRH Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Uncle Rico is the funniest part of the whole movie, because we all know someone like him. The guy whose life peaked in high school.
shrader Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 watch it again...its gets funnier each time you see it...the first time i saw it, it was kind fo annoying, and then it grows on you...457926[/snapback] That won't be happening. I wanted to turn it off halfway through, but I kept it on because a bunch of people have said it was good. Now I know that they were wrong.
The Poojer Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 you are dead on, it gets better and better, especially when you hear, in your mind something like, "Are you drinking 1% because you think you're fat..." and you bust out laughing. Tina You fat Lard..... aint no teeney bopper here, 42 years old! watch it again...its gets funnier each time you see it...the first time i saw it, it was kind fo annoying, and then it grows on you... having a few alcholic beverages of choice while you watch cetainly helps too (and no, i'd hardly call myself a teenybopper as i'll be 24 next week) "This one tastes like the cow got into an onion patch" 457926[/snapback]

Damn, now i wanna watch that move again.
Puhonix Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Its definately one of those movies that grows on you, just like Monty Python. Hell, this could be something like the Holy Grail of this generation. It spun off into lunch boxes and T-shirts, and everyone quotes it at random times just to get a laugh (Gosh, Friggin Idiot!). It just tends to get to you after a while. But Pojer, I think you may be reading too much into it. This was not ever a threat to contend for an Oscar. Accept it for what it was, pointless humor.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 aint no teeney bopper here, 42 years old! 457937[/snapback] You may be 42 physically, but mentally...Romper Bomper Stomper Boo... And from the "Karma Can Be a B word' Dept...from all the grief I gave you about The Wiggles...thanks to watching with my son I now have 3 or 4 of their songs constantly stuck in my head. I'm seriously thinking about a lobotomy!
Johnny Coli Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 No one will ever confuse me with being a “teeny-bopper”, and I thought the movie was brilliant…dare I say, even approaching “RepoMan” or “Gummo” brilliant.
Johnny Coli Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 I'm seriously thinking about a lobotomy! 457951[/snapback] Tell'em you got no cerebellum.
Puhonix Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Tell'em you got no cerebellum. 457957[/snapback] I was waiting for that shot, it was too easy.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Tell'em you got no cerebellum. 457957[/snapback] I'll have to break the news that I got no mind to lose...
Redneckmoose22 Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Uncle Rico is the funniest part of the whole movie, because we all know someone like him. The guy whose life peaked in high school. 457932[/snapback] OK OK!! Let us settle this.......... teenie bopper movie?? MAYBE Absolutely hillarious???? WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!! Best part of the movie?? By far the farmer with the shotgun and the cow, then the flash to the children on the school bus, filled with screams....... I THANK GOD FOR REWIND........... I literally made the other 11 people in my living room watch that part 7 times before I could/would move on. Can you imagine how cool that was for the one lone redneck on the bus.............. just another day on the farm, but it never gets old.
duey Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 That movie is a freakin' nut buster! I love it! I love the scenes at the chicken farm... "Do chicken have large talons?" The way that chicken farmer talked. When it came to lunch time, all they had to eat was...eggs.
BillsFanNC Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.

The guy whose life peaked in high school. 457932[/snapback] Gotta go with you on that one. Watching a video of himself pretending he was a quarterback? That slayed me.
