You make the world better with every key you press.
Thanks,
From All Of Us. - lazydrumhead, on 10/12/2007, -6/+32much better than the "STUFF BLOWS UP, PART FIVE" movies that come out on a regular basis.
but the quoting got old real quick. - approxinfinity, on 10/12/2007, -4/+28The only thing that needs to stop is Jon Heder's acting career...
Napoleon Dynamite is an original, hilarious movie. It's just situational humor, not punchline humor, and people without a sense of humor of their own rely on punchlines to know when to say "haha". - MajorD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18"Back in '82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile."
..."Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind." - muaddib420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19that town seems both creepy and cool in an edward scissorhandsy kind of way
- Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19The town seems like it hit a time rift and got stuck in the 80's.
- spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Because Preston has a lot of other stuff going for it. :P (I've lived in Preston)
- hovester, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13The only place missing is the local eatery (Big J's?). I could use a good shake and greasy onion rings with fry sauce!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14People that hate this movie find it hard to see their own life depicted on the big screen.
- malonie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Dance steps dynamite, fair to say this movie is hilarious
- chamblin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"Like anyone could even know that."
- B0jangles, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11"But my lips hurt real bad"
- iamdravenman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Mmmmmm Fry Sauce!
- cranium, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The movie was absolutely brilliant and Lafawnda makes me horny.
- lazydrumhead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6MTV didn't support the movie until after the whole thing was made (except the after-the-credits scene)
- thefireinside, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Woulda helped if the town was half visible.
- Fett101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Er. That or he's been typecast due to Napoleon Dynamite's success
- approxinfinity, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Let's take Jon Heder out of the equation.. You didnt chuckle when the old guy shot the cow right as the school bus passed and the kids screamed? You didn't think that nerdy little Kip and big black beautiful Lafawnda hooking up wasn't funny? You didn't think that Uncle Rico's seemingly creepy yet really just totally inane attempt to sell tupperware and Bust Must wasnt at all funny?
- spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I have a friend who was on the bus when that actually happened. When Jared Hess was a kid that actually happened to him while he was on a school bus.
- esuomynona, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If you think the movie sucked you have not experienced small town, southeastern Idaho for yourself.
Either that or it is all too familiar to you and you haven't experienced any thing outside of small town, southeastern Idaho. - lexbaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Oops. I thought it was "AJ's," but I think you're right. Yeah, it was in Richmond, UT (south a few miles) but was torn down after they made the movie. Because of a new road, not because the movie was made there. lol
- esuomynona, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Ruined it so much that the State of Idaho commended the film makers for "increasing the nation's awareness of Idaho."
http://www3.state.id.us/oasis/2005/HCR029.html
I guess most of the nation did not know that Idaho existed prior to Napolean Dynamite. - addisonj, on 10/12/2007, -15/+19Poor preston idaho, a small town ruined by the fame of a crappy movie, okay the movie was funny once maybe twice... but the napolean fanaticism needs to stop
- thefireinside, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8You're an idiot.
- johnclayton, on 02/24/2009, -0/+4Welcome to SE Idaho...note the close proximity to the Utah border to the South...
- TomSawyer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I liked the movie and own it on DVD but people do tend to oversell it. I usually put in my two cents that it's low key humor so don't expect to be rolling on the ground laughing like they're being told.
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Everything Fox touches turns to gold. then they cancel it.
example. Firefly. John Doe. Arrested Development.... more to come - Hurricane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ahh just shut up and make your self a case-a-dilla.
- timta2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well, hell, with that kind of sense of humor you would probably love it!
- greyfade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i found it hard to see my childhood and high school life depicted on the big screen.
all of Southern Idaho is like that. i hated it. :( - LtJimDangle2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2here:
http://nd.tech-tonics.com/asrt/00/31.html - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I agree if you definition of crap mean makes a crap load of money.
- greyfade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i'm from Idaho and I can affirm that Idaho is, in fact, stuck in the 80's.
it has been since the 80's.
no. really. - greyfade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1some say IDAHO has more mormons than Utah.
though i can't say i was surprised when i found out that a temple was going to be build in my hometown, Twin Falls. - account, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Welcome to SE Idaho...note the close proximity to the Utah border to the South..."
Yes, we all know that Idaho is next to Utah, the "Land of the Mormons". Let me point out to you that California has more Mormons than Utah. Also, Jon Heder who played Napoleon Dynamite and director Jared Hess are Mormons. - Mitaphane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah, if you could see it.
- drakethegreat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Its interesting how so many movies these days are taking place in Idaho. Its not like this is the first. This is like the 3rd movie. So obviously that's not a lot compared to large states but Idaho has one of the smallest populations in the union. Its entire state has one area code for instance. I believe the number of movies being filmed about it are going to make it pass up the Dakotas soon when it comes to poke fun references about useless states in pop culture. Way to go Idaho u truly are now pop culture's ho.
- steely, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2That's flippin sweet. I guess I'm biased, being a Mormon myself.
- lexbaby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It's missing AJ's Diner in Richmond, UT. (Scroll down a few miles.) However, it doesn't exist anymore. It was torn down soon after they shot the movie.
- heyimaidiot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i bought this movie when it was on pay per view and i fell asleep during it .. damn i should have waited till it came out on dvd
- ericnmu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Heres a cool site of movie vs real life shots
http://nd.tech-tonics.com/asrt/ - LtJimDangle2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobe
- cnull, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Where is the Cut 'N' Corral?
- nlatimer, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5What about those of us who those it was mediocre, with only two good jokes, and a cool dance scene.
- spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Eh, if you want to good white water rafting, you still come here. Idaho is good for the outdoors, and that's really all. Which makes it kinda out of the loop, which makes it a very different feeling, which makes it funny.
- XMinusX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i was travailing and my plane stoped at Idaho and man. That's as much i need to see. it's like one big potato.i don't want to knock where people live but wow. very surreal looking like a atomic bomb set off. i just saw naploin on cinnmax not as great people said it was. kinda hehe funny not piss my pants funny
- zulusafari, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I'm a fan of mashups, but it would really only be cool if the sat imagry were high res, it's not, so you really can't see much, if anything. If I ever visited the area, it would be nice to get me around, but I doubt I'll ever be there.
- tahim, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4couldn't have said it better.
- tito13kfm, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I was told one too many times by friends, "You have to see this movie, it's the funniest movie of all time." I decided I will never, ever, see Napolean Dynamite. It's awesome as it irratates them to no end that I refuse to see the movie, and that makes me smile. Random people I meet, coworkers, even friends I haven't seen in a long time always seem to bring up this movie in a conversation. They can't understand how I haven't seen it, yet they think it's perfectly acceptable they haven't seen Animal House, Blues Brothers, Stripes, Clockwork Orange and other too many other classic movies.
I have probably gotten more entertainment by not seeing this movie then if I had seen it. - Deekman, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3I really gave this movie a chance, i really did.
I watched it the whole way through but just couldn't get into it (the only part I found funny was when padro's family came past the guy in their car and looked at some guy as he was about to beat someone up).
I will give this digg as being pretty cool but the movie I didn't like at all. -
