Napoleon Dynamite :LOVE:

UPDATE: Find out when it's playing near you: http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/napol...leasesched.pdf

Just saw this tonight. So fucking great. :love:

The funniest movie I have seen in a while. I was ROFL like the entire way through. Classic shit.

Basically, it's about this guy, Napoleon Dynamite, high school student and basically a huge geek. He lives with his grandma and 32 year old brother who is always on chat rooms looking for chicks, and he has a Mexican friend named Pedro who is a new student and wants to win student body president from popular girl Summer (who is played by Hilary Duff's older sister).

It is fucking great. The guy who plays Napoleon is classic. The entire theater was cracking up throughout the whole movie and everyone started clapping at the end (idiots, but still).

It's only playing in NY and LA right now, but hopefully it will spread around some more because it is funny ass shit. If not, definitely get it on video. I will be buying a copy for myself. :love:

If you can't watch it, check out the trailer here, since it is good shit on its own: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_se..._dynamite.html

Yeah i've been hearing a lot about it. It better play in SF, because I really want to see it.

Looks pretty classic.

Supreme Olajuwon 06-13-2004 11:50 AM

there was a preview for it before Saved. It looks great

It's a story about Triple A himself.

Triple A 06-13-2004 10:33 PM

That's right.

Triple A 06-17-2004 05:24 AM

Just saw it a second time today. I could watch it over and over and never get tird of it. I love this movie. :love:

Triple A 06-17-2004 05:29 AM

Fuck I wish everyone could see this movie. Gonna be a definite cult classic.

MrMeJW 06-17-2004 04:03 PM

It doesn't have a great rating on IMDB but I will check it out when it comes to Boston.

Triple A 06-17-2004 05:03 PM

It doesn't have a great rating because the asshole "top 1000 voters" rated it badly probably because they are huge geeks. Out of the normal votes, it says the average is like 8.0, but when they factor in the 2.6 rating by the 23 top 1000 voters, it brings it down. Assholes.

Check how many people rated it a 1. They obviously voted without seeing the movie.

A film student friend of mine from LA was raving about this today. He's usually good at picking out funny movies. If it doesn't come out in the theater here (probably won't) then I'll have to figure out another way of seeing it.

#1-norm-fan 06-19-2004 06:49 AM

lol. Diedrich Bader is in it. :love:

Triple A 06-19-2004 06:57 AM

Yeah he is great. He plays a guy named Rex who runs his own fitness place, Rex Kwan Do.

So many classic lines in the movie. Like the most quotable movie of all time. It seriously is like a laugh (or 3 or 4) per minute. Nonstop. Probably the funniest movie I have ever seen.

sucafrutpi 06-19-2004 12:38 PM

the preview looked kinda lame :-/

King TIL 06-19-2004 04:19 PM

I don't know, Roger Ebert only gave it 1.5 stars. It must be pretty bad.

That is because you are a nerd. Don't worry.

He gave Old School 1 star.

He's no good with comedies.

He shouldn't be the best if he's "no good" with a huge genre.

Triple A 06-19-2004 05:58 PM

It's better to be no good with one genre than no good with 50% of every movie in general.

Hollywood Red 06-23-2004 02:46 AM

I see the commercial all the time... the scene where he's drawing and the girl asks what it is and he says "It's a Liger... it's pretty much my favourite animal..." cracks me up cuz I've overheard pretty much the same line before followed by a big geek rant about some made-up animal.

I went to school with guys like this and it's pure comedy in an awful way that I'm sure has reserved me a place in Hell.

Triple A 06-27-2004 06:10 AM

Whooooo, submitted a bunch of quotes to IMDb and they added them. No credit though, assholes.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374900/quotes

Also, it is gonna open "nationwide" some time in July, so EVERYONE GET READY. It's already spreading all over the place. It only opened in two theaters in NYC its opening week, and like four in LA. Now it's playing in a bunch of theaters around here, so good stuff.

Uncle Rico: So what do you think?
Kip: It's pretty cool, I guess.
Uncle Rico: Ohhhh, man I wish I could go back in time. I'd take state.
Napoleon Dynamite: This is pretty much the worst video ever made.
Kip: Napoleon, like anyone can even know that.
Uncle Rico: You know what, Napoleon? You can leave.
Napoleon Dynamite: You guys are retarded!


LOL

MoRcHeEbA 06-27-2004 06:45 PM

I tried to download it but couldn't find it anywhere :(

OssMan 06-30-2004 12:10 AM

Triple A 06-30-2004 12:12 AM

:love:

Triple A 06-30-2004 12:12 AM

The guy who plays Napoleon is gonna be on Letterman tonight.

Dragon 06-30-2004 01:04 AM

I will probably download it.

Dragon 07-01-2004 12:56 AM

I dunno, I guess I won't be downloading it. I don't think suprnova has it.

Triple A 07-01-2004 12:58 AM

It's not available to download anywhere. Still mad rare.

Also, he is on Letterman TONIGHT.

el fregadero 07-01-2004 02:57 AM

I watched him on Letterman and I really want to see the movie, but it's not showing anywhere in my state or even the surronding states (I don't think).

Triple A 07-01-2004 03:13 AM

It is gonna be playing in way more places starting this month. Don't worry.

el fregadero 07-01-2004 03:15 AM

It's jazz baby.

OssMan 07-02-2004 06:45 PM

K I SHOULD BE SEEING IT TODAY. But my brother has the car/money so I might be seeing Fahrenheit 9/11 :-\ I mean I wanna see it and all but this is my first priority.

Joeleosis 07-03-2004 04:40 AM

Where did you see it???

#1-norm-fan 07-03-2004 06:16 AM

I may drive down to Berkley on the 18th and see it.

Triple A 07-03-2004 06:22 AM

It's already playing in Berkley. That says June 18.

I think that's where Joel said he saw it.

DaveWadding 07-03-2004 08:34 AM

came out yesterday here..in the little arthaus (5 screen) theatre across town that shows all the awesome movies.

OssMan 07-03-2004 11:50 PM

I like your sleeves.

Triple A 07-04-2004 12:22 AM
