>>219756358what I love is that both of their moves are terrible
>>219756430I went from loving the movie to kinda hating it because of how annoying people would be at school about it. But it came back around again to being one of my favorite comedies
Rico throwing the steak is always regarded as a highlight but for me Kip backing over the plastic bowl is still one of the dumbest/best parts of the film>DANG IT>just drives off

>>219756483I like when Napoleon throws a fruit at Rico’s windshield while he’s driving. His scream and his hands shaking from fear is so perfect
I forgot to put in the crystals
>>219756483It's funny because it's clear Rico never told him to do this in the sales pitch, he just thought it would be a great way to demonstrate how strong these shitty tupperware knock-offs were, that a van could drive over them and they would be like rocks. Shows how dim and out-of-touch he his.
>Six bucks…..that’s like a dollar an hour!
What are some other great movies/shows that are similar to this? I'm talking absolutely retarded concept and story, but it's so perfectly written and acted it ends up being complete and total kino. Off the top of my head I can think of: >Squidbillies >Reno 911>MXC>Happy Gilmore >Dirty Work >Metalocalypse>Big LebowskiWhat else? Maybe early South Park?

>>219756483Not sure if it's true but I read that scene was ad libbed and Kip's actor was not expecting the bowl to break.

>>219760136Kek, seems it's older than I thought.>Napoleon Dynamite the Game is ultimately Studio 7’s literal interpretation of the main character’s wildly farfetched storytelling. Suspending your disbelief in a theatre is one thing, but engaging in a socially inept character’s seemingly redundant flights of fancy via overtly over-exaggerated mini games is all kinds of messy. If a company tried to rework several arcade standbys (in terms of general gameplay), and then stuck a random film license on their game, the bastard child would look an awful lot like Napoleon Dynamite the Game.>Score: 4 of 10>Date: 2008-01-31

Every ND thread there used to be some anon who insisted that the movie took place in the midwest, instead of Idaho. Or perhaps worse, he thought Idaho was in the midwest. I am glad he has not made his appearance here yet.
>>219760221This looks like a game from a Clarissa explains it all episode, featuring Ferguson Any other oldfags here?

>>219760283What’s the difference? Idaho is the midwest
>>219756935Gentlemen Broncos. It's by the same director of Napoleon so it's almost more of the same
>>219760068Ultimately the cartoon has the same issue that all subsequent media using the character did: they simply didn't understand what made the movie work. For some reason, they love to try and make Napoleon an actual badass, when in the movie, he's just a dorky dreamer. Yeah, he busted out the dance moves and rocked a bad suit, but he's not actually a wolverine hunter, nunchuk expert or anything. Even the movie's own post-credits scene misses the point of the character, which is odd even considering it was filmed and written much later.

>>219760166 Same. Teacher put it on thinking it was some wholesome indie coming‑of‑age thing and the entire class just lost it at the dojo scene. The part where he drags the action figure behind the bus like it’s some epic revenge arc had us in tears. It’s that perfect middle school humor where it’s played 100% straight but it’s the dumbest shit imaginable. Movie only works if you watch it at 14 or if you’re permanently 14. There is no in between.

>>219763524I'm in my 40s too. Kind of felt like I was a little old for me to be super into it, but it's still a fun movie.>>219760368I think the real issue was that the movie is family friendly so the cartoon ought to be like that, but it made it feel very out of place among the likes of Family Guy and the other super edgy cartoons. Like maybe if at the time King of the Hill was still on Fox's animation block it'd have more of a home there.

Why did uncle Rico tell that lady that Napoleon wets the bed? There's no evidence for it. Rico seemed to be into her. Was he trying to put Napoleon down to seem more alpha or something?

>>219773199I ain't even gonna lie, the ending of this movie made me choked up and sad the last time I watched it.It's a perfect coming of age story, Napoleon's world has grown up around him and yet he is unchanged, because he was always the one listening to his heart. And even with all the change, president Pedro and Kip going to Detroit, Napoleon still finds himself back in the tetherball courts where he always spent PE. Yet, there's Deb, also grown, waiting for him, because Napoleon has found a place he belongs.All set to "The Reason - When in Rome", it's just beautiful, the slow zoom out of the dusky landscape as they play ball, right as the music crescendos...

>>219773199Unironically one of the greatest film endings of all time. Basically everyone wins (except Summer and her boyfriend). Even uncle Rico wins because his girlfriend comes back to him. The final montage right before the tetherball finale just wraps everything up so perfectly. Idk it is weird that it's such a goofy, bizarre film but also captures so many things so perfectly
>>219761680>>219761774Napoleon Dynamite is about food, and lonelinessEveryone in the movie is either an outcast, a misfit, or straight up lonely in their life. Pedro is the new kid from Mexico in an alien new town. Napoleon is an outcast autistic weirdo at school with no friends, Kip is painfully lonely spending all his time chatting with online babes. Uncle Rico wants his woman back and take state. The town of Preston is a small, isolated community in the middle of nowhere. Judging by fashions, music, technology the town is either stuck in the 1970s or the early 2000s, or somewhere in between. All the houses in the movie are shown in plain view, always completely by themselves. Each character in the movie eats a specific food. Deb eats pb+j sandwiches, very plain, very dull almost. Uncle Rico eats greasy, almost manly steaks. Napoleon likes eating tots out of his pocket like an autistic kid, not giving a fuck. You can even see this in the opening titles where the actors' names are made out in certain foods that accent with their respective character. The movie literally says, "you are what you eat" I've said stuff like this before in other threads, thanks for reading my blog>>219766673Likely because of low ratings and honestly it just wasnt that good. It was too little too late. The movie came out in 2004, and didnt really build a lot of steam in pop culture until like 2005-2006. Making a series around 2007-2008 (allowing time for production) might have fared a bit better, but by 2011 it was kind of old. Also the sense of humor just didnt work in a cartoon. I watched the premiere and if I remember right the plot of the first episode is a secret wrestling ring or something and it was just a bit too wacky. I dont think something like that would gel with the tone of the movie, it almost needed to be a slice of life more than a goofy cartoon comedy. Maybe I should give it a retry cause I legit havent watched a second of it since 2011.

>>219760136>>219760221I had the PSP version of this growing up. Its basically just a bunch of mini games, loosely related to the movie. The only ones I remember is one were you have to fix the time machine by rotating pieces to move a current through like a puzzle game, and another where you have to catch footballs thrown by Uncle Rico, and a dance competition that plays like poor mans Guitar Hero. It's not a good game at all, but I guess there is the novelty of it just existing. No idea if the DS version is any better.

What's with all the double posts these days
For me it's the director's wife saying the girl is literally based on her childhood.that she use to have stupid dreams of being a photographer and had random wigs and shit she put on things and was hyper sensitive to everything.
>>219778085>zoomerYou must've forgotten what 4 years was like back then. Pop culture aged quickly and Backstreet boys were way past their peak when NP came out.
>>219776577>>219776826>is about foodInteresting that you noted the opening titles, but I don't know that Jared Hess actually had food in mind in such a literally way when they filmed the movie. The title sequence was made after Fox Searchlight picked up the movie, obviously long after the movie was done. Maybe on some long gestation over the story, he decided food was central after all, but it doesn't feel like something that grabs your attention as you watch the movie even though it is easy to notice once pointed out. One interesting aspect, are the named characters who DON'T eat in the movie. Summer is offered a cake (sweet) but never is seen eating it. But I don't think it was done intentionally besides the cake thing because it seems more like "food scenes" are used as framing devices. For example: Neither Kip nor Pedro actually eat in the movie but Pedro is shown with a tray of food in the cafeteria and Kip goes to burger joint with Rico (these are just used for exposition), earlier Kip is blamed for eating all the chips (dialogue that elicits the reply telling us that Kip is chatting with babes).

>it's just beautiful, the slow zoom out of the dusky landscape as they play ball, right as the music crescendosI'd like to think of the ending as Jared Hess last slap on the face, in a good way
>>219778691Nah, that's not what I said at all. It's a coming of age story for everyone, Napoleon doesn't "do nothing", throughout the movie he learns and grows but what he doesn't do is change. The entire story is about misfits finding their place in the world. Rico is a misfit in time who finally moves on, Kip discovers his true ghetto self through LaFawnduh, Pedro is accepted by his new home of Preston after listening to his heart.Napoleon also finds his place, which was always Preston. That doesn't change because Napoleon didn't change as a character, he simply found people who accepted him for who he is in Deb and Pedro.
