Huh. I love Napoleon Dynamite. Of course, it speaks to everything I went through in high school and college....and since I did both those in Utah and Idaho I can more than identify.
Interesting.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I think I would have hated it less without access to the press notes, which contained copious comments to the effect of "My high school experience was so unique and special that nobody has ever made a movie this realistic and original before!"
And I just wanted to say, dude, either you have never seen a movie before, or you went to the same damn high school as every other first-time indie director who thinks he's making the most original and realistic high school movie EVAR.

Nic Cage to star in remake of Wicker Man
May be the lamest idea I've ever heard, and I sort of dread what they might do with it.

Oh, hell, Nic Cage is the least of their problems...

Nic Cage is an insurmountable problem, in my opinion. And I don't have the faintest clue what "Wicker Man" is.
So, has no one even heard of "Dear Frankie," or is it just that no one has seen it? It's a British film, for what that's worth.

Saw Napoleon Dynamite last night. Haaaaaaated it.
Cool! I am prejudiced against that movie cause it looks like it thinks it's too cool for school. It bugs me.

I do have a serious question here, Jess. How can you hold Neil LaBute to being more offensive than Lars Von Trier (minus his earlier, more stylish movies)? At least Neil doesn't induce vomiting with his shakey-cam. I think they are both about equal in treating human beings like shit (with a special emphasis on women, possibly).

Hey. New board.

I really liked Matchstick Men.
If X-Men 3 sucks, I will be incredibly disappointed. The first two were so good, and they've got the coolest X-Men story idea ever to build on.
