kip: that's what i"m talking about

uncle rico: you know i can throw a football 1/4 mile

video tape: are you ready to dance
napolean: yesss

napolean:there is a butt load of gangs at this school. there all after me because i'm pretty handy with a bow staff

Uncle Rico is nuts. The brother's transformation is hilarious.

Dude, Amish-Slayer- you should lay off my best friend- his name is Amish- of course he's Indian- and I'm kidding with you but every time I see that moniker I'm going to laugh my ass off.

ND could almost be categorized as "Beavis-n-Butthead" genre (stories about losers that aren't even really that loveable)

My wife's cousins brought Napoleon Dynamite with them today because school was out and I spent the day with them. What a horrible waste of time, money and energy. (The movie, not the girls. The girls are cute and fun to hang out with.) I turned it off during the dance scene. God awfulness incarnate.

Jock at school: "Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?"

Napoleon: "I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines! "

Jock at school: "Did you shoot any?"

Napoleon: "Yes, like 50 of 'em! They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that?"

Jock at school: "What kind of gun did you use?"

Napoleon: "A freakin' 12-gauge, what do you think?"

ND is good...not as hilarious as i expected..but it's kinda like Garden State (which i also thought was just Ok while others were raving about it)...the humor is more subtle. i don't think it's silly like airplane or dumb n dumber..those are more slapstick while ND is more subtle. anyway we rented it and gf took it back before i could watch it a second time...but it seems like the type of movie that gets funnier each time you watch it.

but overall i liked it...

HelpisontheWay,

It's a movie that grows on you. It's very dry and subtle like you said. I heard some co-workers comparing it to Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show. I've not seen either of these movies so I can't attest to the comparisons.

I can't wait to watch it again tonight b/c one of my co-workers said there is a scene at the end of the credits.

i've seen both of htose movies and yeah i guess they're kind of similar. best in show is pretty funny...better than waiting for guffman but that was still pretty good too.

i would say it's kind of like rushmore or the tennenbaums or bottle rocket...again ..all subtle humor....

Still haven't seen ND. The thing about Beavis and Butt-head that I realized after some serious self-medication and the vending machine episode is this: when you watch B+B, you are laughing at 2 dumbasses sitting on a couch wasting time making fun of MTV. Sadly, you are basically turning yourself into the characters by doing the exact same thing. Hopefully ND doesn't do the same thing to Thump.
