Batman Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 has anyone seen it? I just saw it, and it is so far the best movie of the year (that I've seen). I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe during the dance scene at the election! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I have not seen the movie, but it looks right up my alley! On a side note, Elvis Costello used the pseudonym Napoleon Dynamite in the song credits for his 1986 album "Blood and Chocolate." I have read that the people that made the movie had no idea about this and would have changed the name of the film if they had known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 What are the chances two people would come up with the same phrase/name? It's a bit unique, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 My sister and I went and saw it last weekend. Our sides hurt from laughing so hard!!! I am pretty sure that we laughed more than anyone...just our sense of humor I suppose. "Your stuffs in my locker so can you come and get it...I don't have anymore room for my numchucks" kid: What are you doing today Napoleon? Napoleon: Whatever I feel like GOD!!! Oh yeah, did you stay through the credits?? For the little wedding scene at the end??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 What are the chances two people would come up with the same phrase/name? It's a bit unique, isn't it? I read in a review that the writer or director (bad memory) said that the name was taken from "some real guy" he met in New York. The guy must have got it from EC...The guy being interviewed denies knowing anything about Costellos use of the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 kid: What are you doing today Napoleon? Napoleon: Whatever I feel like GOD!!! Oh yeah, did you stay through the credits?? For the little wedding scene at the end??? It was actually "Gosh!" not "God!" My mormon friend said it was an inside joke, because everyone in Idaho is mormon and they don't really swear. Also, I totally forgot about that wedding scene! But let me guess, it was Kip and Lafawnduh? Video: Are you readdy to get down! Napoleon: Yes...

scott Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I've seen previews for it and I've seen the cast on Leno and Conan and what not, and I really want to see it, being that it's brand of humor seems right up my alley, but unfortunately the theater's in my area really don't go for that kind of film (you know, smart intelligent humor) Another movie I want to see, and seems along the same lines with the subtle humor and all, but I doubt my theaters will pick up is 'Garden State' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mormon friend said it was an inside joke, because everyone in Idaho is mormon and they don't really swear. Oh....thanks Batman. LOL! That makes it funnier actually. And yes it WAS Kip and Lafawnduh...and Kip sings her a song that is hilarious! And Napoleon rides up on a horse and says, "Sorry I'm late, I had to tame this wild Stud" LMAO!

Batman Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 but unfortunately the theater's in my area really don't go for that kind of film (you know, smart intelligent humor) Well, I don't know about smart intelligent humor, my 9 year old brother went and saw it and he understood all the jokes. It is very good though. The jokes are funny, and its not the average movie which is an hour+1/2 of sex jokes and swearing. I have nothing against sex jokes and swearing except they aren't funny and don't improve the quality of the movie. This is a good movie though.

Batman Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 I just found out about another inside joke from my mormon friend. Everyone involved with the movie is mormon, and Idahoians are generally mormon. And he had a line after the girl told him to buy a string thing he says "Duh, I allready made infinity of those at scout camp!" and most mormons are in the boy scouts. coincidence? or inside joke? either way, with all these inside jokes, I'm wondering if putting each actors name on the food at the start had anything to do with anything. For instance they put one person's name on a hamburger. Is that actor a 'hamburger' type of guy? whatever that means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 "I noticed you're drinking 1% milk. Is that because you think you're fat?" This movie is really funny. The dance scence reminded me of the time Carlton went on Soul Train on The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. Scott, I know you live in a 3 electoral vote red state, which means it won't make to a theater anytime soon, but you need to rent this movie as soon as you can.

Batman Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 The only problem with this movie is that it will inspire millions of people to do terrible, unfunny impressions of Napoleon Dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, oh. Carl would be one of those. But he is funny, at least I think so. It was a fun movie. I'd be very curious to see what the actor who played Napolean looks/sounds like in real life.

Sara Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I believe you! I found pictures and it's too funny, I wouldn't have recognized any of the characters in real life. Both Napoleon and Kip are cuties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhicks.blogplot.com Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 This movie was absolutly the funniest movie of the year, I also found this realy cool sound board.So far this is the best sound board for ND out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costellogirl75 Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 I have to have Uncle Rico's orange van! I want to move out of my apartment and live in a van just like that one. And I must have Napoleon's boots. I think the fashionistas are missing a huge possible trend in Napoleon's weird T-shirts. One of my favorite lines is when Pedro says (to get Summer to go to the dance) "I'll probably build her a cake or something." Sarais right, Kip is really cute, but he is so much hotter with socks pulled up almost to his knees and slip on black tennis shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the flying pig Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I know I loved Uncle Rico. He reminded me so much of my dad. My dad still lives in 1974 instead of 1982 but you get the point. I can't believe no one mentioned Pedro. I thought Pedro was really the hidden star of the film. But the craze for this movie is getting to much. At my school all these people have begun wearing Vote 4 Pedro shirts and they even have full blown images of the characters and having them say quotes from the movie but changing it around to tell us to join the ping pong club. Like Napoleon's quote is "Girls like guys with skills, like football and ping pong." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I didn't really like this movie or anything about it, it just showcases some dorky kid trying to be funny, nothing good about it at all. But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
