I wasn't going to watch Napoleon Dynamite until my mom told me she loved it & then I ended up loving it too. It really surprised me when Mom didn't like Little Miss Sunshine. I had thought they had a lot in common.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Because books.
I've managed to not actually watch it, and yet have heard almost the entire thing regurgitated back to me via Emmett's rehashing the jokes and inflections.
Is this a boy thing? Both Jake and Ben do this constantly. Which is kind of okay if I like the movie, but otherwise not so much.
Also, why is it so wrong just to say "I'm going to give them a fifties lamp"? Why must it always be "mid-century modern"? Is it necessary to be so pendantic when you're making something out of plywood and a light kit?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Maybe because a fifties lamp could be a lot of different styles and Mid-Century Modern is specific style? One of those lamps with a Bullfighter base and a red silk shade is fifties, right?

That was my experience with Austin Powers. I have no need to see that movie, thanks to everyone I worked with endlessly reciting it.

I don't know. Buffistas can riff on Princess Bride for two hours without pausing for a breath.

You think? Because I loved LMS. I don't really see the connection beyond, I suppose, quirky characters. LMS had an actual narrative.

I'm not sure but my 10 y.o son does it constantly too. The worst part is when I sitting in the same ROOM, he's gotta rehash every line of whatever he's watching... makes me crazy!
I'm sorta pro-Napoleon Dynamite - it was a cute movie.
Bullfighter base and a red silk shade
OH my MiL has one of those in her living room ... it's um... not very attractive. My DH says that it's been there since he was a kid. My MiL != current interior designs

Robin is wise.
I'm just cranky today. Same as most days.

Quirky characters with little regard for their own limitations.

Yes and as such I thought it was a better movie. That's why I'm mystified that Mom prefers ND.

I am mystified as well.
