I am con-Napoleon Dynamite without ever having actually seen it.
This is me. I haven't been able to make myself try.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Though for that particular one, I'd lay the blame on MTV, who ran just about the most irritating marketing campaign in the history of marketing for it
Heh. I didn't even hear about the marketing of it until later apart from the newspaper ads, which where annoying (and I never saw any of the MTV stuff), but that was what I took from the buzz that came out of Sundance. I recall it was positive buzz, but it was the kind of positive buzz that had me running for cover.

Man, if I didn't have Robin on my side I'd feel like the giantest dork in the universe. But I'm OK in this sex-aay (if sparsely populated) corner!
ION, WILL THIS DAY NEVER END!??!?!??

Napoleon Dynamite: Pro or Con?
Con. I will admit to finding some bits amusing, but I don't think I actually laughed once, and I certainly didn't understand what the big deal was. I loved the opening credits, though.

Napoleon Dynamite: Pro or Con?
Don't even know what it is. Boy, I'm boring.
ION, WILL THIS DAY NEVER END!??!?!??
Let me encourage you by letting you know that yes, it does end. Eventually. Never when we want it to.
Oh, that wasn't very encouraging, was it?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
and I never saw any of the MTV stuff
MTV was the distributor, so they did all the marketing, post-Sundance.

i'm sort of in between pro and con for Napoleon Dynamite. there were some funny bits, but it's not something i'd add to my dvd library to watch again and again.
COME ON FOUR O' CLOCK!!!

Ah, so the annoying newspaper ads were their contribution too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
