Wacko. Wacko. Wacko right here. I just saw Napoleon Dynamite for the second time today, and I can't help but guffaw at ALL THE SAME PLACES. I've never heard more laughs in a movie theater than at each showing of this movie.

Same favorite quotes (only as exact as my memory):

"Napoleon, don't be jealous just because I've been chatting with babes all day."
-Kip

"Napoleon, gimme some of your tots. C'mon Napoleon, gimme some of your tots."
-Classmate

"Yeth."
-Pedro

"C'mon Napoleon, just try to hit me."
-Kip

NAPOLEON: It's a liger. It's pretty much my favorite animal.
DEB: What's a liger?
NAPOLEON: It's like a lion and a tiger mixed. Preference skills in magic.

I didn't like it. Felt like it was trying too hard to be quirky and offbeat.

A little bit of Wes Anderson(Rushmore, bottle rocket, Royal Tenenbaums) with its soundtrack, aesthetics, and tone, and a little bit of Alexander Payne(Citizen ruth, Election, About Schmidt) with its condescending and sarcastic mockery of the mid-west.

A bunch of friends of mine and I disliked it so much we all decided to leave the theater while the movie was still playing.

*"Freakin' idiot!" Napoleon Dynamite

I think it's awesome, my friend. This is actually my first movie that I went to see twice in the movie theaters... first time i saw it, it's awesomely funny. Second time i saw it, i caught more funny things in the movie that I hadn't noticed earlier.

Seriously, there should be a Naploeon Dynamite club. Is there one at CF?

Great stuff...great stuff...

"Wait, I gotta put the crystal in the time machine." -Dynamite
That part of the movie was AWESOME!!!:thumbsup:

The scene after the speech was worth the price of admission.

My wife actually made tater tots the other night to snack on during a movie. We must've said "Gimme some of your tots" about 15,000 times while snacking on them. :D
