Title: Napoleon Dynamite
Post by: Jophess on December 21, 2004, 08:19:17 am
What the hell? No Napoleon Dynamite thread? The DVD comes out today, and I should be getting it around the 25th (if you know what I mean). This movie is so ungodly awesome!

(http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Newsweek/Photos/Web_Exclusives/040119_040126/040123_SundanceNapoleon_wide.hmedium.jpg)

Kip: Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.
Napoleon Dynamite: Since when, Kip? You have the worst reflexes of all time.
Kip: Try and hit me, Napoleon.
Napoleon Dynamite: What?
Kip: I said come down here and see what happens if you try and hit me.

HILARIOUS.

stupid movie, not worth it.
several friends recommended it, they must have been drunk at the time.

The only scene in the movie I enjoyed was the neighbor shooting the cow and the kids on the bus all scream.

someone just told me that it's not worth buying it either...he said the I would most likely enjoy and appreciate it, being the film fanatic that I am, but told me it's only worth a rental fee

Do you like The Big Lebowski?  What about O'Brother?  Do you think Jim Carrey is funny?  What about Old School?

I am trying to get a gague for weather or not your opinion about a comedy is valid or not.

I keep hearing mixed things about this flick.

Wasnt a fan of Big Lebowski either, but it was still better than ND.
My opinion of good comedies are Kevin Smith flicks, Me Myself & Irene(yes it has Jim Carrey), Badder Santa, Shaun Of The Dead, Red Dwarf, Family Guy. Old School is pretty great too! Ever see Clay Pigeons?

This movie was just retarded.

Ok.  You're taste in comedies is fine.

Apparently I won't spend any money watching this movie.  Maybe someone I know bought it and I can borrow it.

Edit: Red Dwarf is fucking hilarious.  *jams*

Red Dwarf is so good! Your typical BBC drama- and quite obvious humour which is probably why you Americans find it funny. I also find it hard to believe you will've got a lot of the jokes in Shaun of the Dead BV cos i heard it was a very english film.

I got all the jokes.  *shrug*

Also, you do realize that Red Dwarf was a book first, right?  It wasn't a BBC invention.

Hmmm.

I enjoyed the movie for one reason and one reason only.

The big dance sceene was BRILLIANT.  I haven't seen 2 minutes of a movie that I enjoyed that much in YEARS.

THe rest of the movie was just setup for that ONE sceene, because it wouldn't have been half as funny without the back story.

no kidding.  I was about to fall asleep after watching the whole thing until that scene came on.  We are now in the process of helping my friend Tyler learn all the moves.

Did anyone pick up on the girl from that Andre the seal movie and Corinna, Corinna?  i thought she fell off the face of the planet.

Waterworld. And yeh I thought she did fall off the face of the planet.
But you cant blaim her for taking a few years off to go to school and be a regular kid, now old enough to get back into acting and balance it better.

"It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic"

parts of it were funny, parts of it weren't. I agree that the dance scene was definitely the best.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, I was skeptical at first about it but.. I saw it a little while ago and cracked up... my roomie owns the movie soo I've seen it a good number of times now.  I'm not obsessed like some ppl here are but I think its quite amusing :wink:  hahaha

OMG it was too funny!

LAFAUNDA! and how he was saying how it was gettin serious because they talk 2 hours a day! hahah And he was all concerned because she only sent him head shots.  And he got all gangsta too.  Kip even talks funny.

And I love the way ND runs... he ducks as he runs... so bizarre.  


I recommend it.

I LOVE NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!

"What are you gonna do today Napoleon?"
"Whatever I feel like, GOSH!"  :lol:

I love that kind of humor.

"I see you're drinking one percent milk. Is that 'cause you think your fat?"


Hehehe I love this movie.  I could totally understand why people would hate it though, it's that weird kind of humor that only appeals to some people I guess.

It's really not even that funny during the movie, just thinking about all the stupid stuff after.


But OMG if you like this movie, you MUST buy the DVD.  It has deleted scenes that are FREAKIN' AMAZING!!! They're really funny, especially the kickball one.  I can't believe they took them out! In the commentary they said something about how it interupted the flow of the movie... and I was like 'What the heck?!?! The movie doesn't flow at all!!!!!'

But it's funny anyway...

Okay, after hearing a lot about it and to see what the fuss it was all about, I just saw this today and what I think can be sum up by some previous posts:

I think the dance scene was the funniest scene and so was the part when Uncle Rico throws Kip's steak at Napoleon. I'm not addicted to it, but my 7th grade science teacher was. (I think he still is.)
