MyLeakyBucket Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Saw this film yesterday and I really can't stop laughing. Set in mid-80's small-town Idaho, it follows our geek anti-hero Napoleon as he struggles along life's harsh road. Don't want to say much more except, miss it at your peril. It's the funniest film I've seen in donkey's years and is another film you will quote until the end of time. It also has a dance scene that when I buy this on DVD I'm gonna spend hours upon hours trying to perfect the moves. Soooo good I want to cry. Anyway, anyone else catch this??

La Lindsay Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 i heard that there was another shirt that they were giving out that said "vote 4 Pedro" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 There seems to be a bunch of Vote for Pedro t-shirts on e-bay. May consider bidding. We'll see. Come on people, some others must have seen this film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Yeah I caught ND inna little indie theater before it got its general release. I was close to tears watching it. Did anyone see it after they added in the wedding scene? Who was it? It had t'be Kip and LaFawnduh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 You didn´t see the wedding scene. Man you missed out. It was indeed Kip and La Fawnda. Kip sang a song using a crap Casio keyboard it was hilarious. Had lines like "We met on the internet. I love you more than technology. But I still love technology." Can´t wait for this to come out on DVD, one of those films I will watch sooo many times until I´ve ingested every detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Yeah, the wedding scene was added in after it went on general release as a way t'coax the folks that seen it before t'go back for another viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Thats a bit sneaky. Certianly hope it does stand up well to a second viewing. Is that you in that t-shirt 2T? If it is I'm insanely jealous. Just looked on ebay and you can pick up a 'Vote for Pedro' shirt for about $10. Not too shabby. Haha, they are selling 'Liger' t-shirts as well. Sweeeeet!

La Lindsay Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 i'm wearing my "give me your tots" shirt right now. i love that fucking movie. could quote it for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 What does the t-shirt look like? Is it white with the writing like the ´VOte for Pedro´one or a little different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I just finished it last night. I fucking loved the last scene before the credits of him just smacking the tether ball over Debbie. heh. And yeah, the dancing was great. I showed two of my friends and now they want to see the rest of it. For some reason, seeing him in the suit for prom reminded me of Beck...

Unidentified Source Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I still haven't had a chance to see this film but I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 I think its out on DVD next month over here. Can't wait. Hehe, poor Debbie. I like it when she's taking the photos of Napoleon's uncle, trying to soften the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipO Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 This movie ruled..."TIna! Come get some Ham!" Heh. Oh, also, Bucket, it's not set in the mid 80's. It's totally present day. That's just Idaho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Yeah found that out later and I couldn't stop laughing. My advice: don't mix Napoleon Dynamite-related stuff and drink milk at the same time. Hehe, Idaho. Unfortunately I only saw this once so only remember a few quotes from it. Doesn't stop me from killing whatever lines I do remember though. You've got a sweet bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipO Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Dude, I loved Pedro's cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Haha, I love it when he goes to pick up his date for the prom and they're playing with the suspension in the background. I love the Pinata bit and the look on poor Pedro's face when he gets hauled up in the Principal's office for it. And also the bit where Napoleon grabs the button and chucks it down the hallway before legging it. Just too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
