Napoleon dynamite was fucking garbage and don't think it should have ever existed. No humor and barley anything. Honestly feel like the movie rubber was better
What?!?
What?!?
As an older millennial, that movie was a work of art. I was about 20 when I seen it, stoned, and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Fellow elder millennial that also never understood the appeal of Napoleon Dynamite, still don’t and I’ve watched it stoned as hell
Also elder millennial. I watched half the movie and turned it off. It was horrid.
I just don’t get it. I absolutely loved every second of it. From the opening scene to the credits it was one of my favorite movies ever made and still is.
What about it was so good though? It was incredibly slow. Little to no character plot humor wasn't even there. It felt like it was just "funny meme haha" kinda movie. Honestly curious, I do enjoy being proven wrong. And no hate on what you enjoy, I just don't understand why people enjoy it.
I got that it's a movie that subverts expectations, or cheekily thumbs its nose at norms, in a delightful way. It clearly derives its delight from the contrast with... something. I have no idea what those expectations or norms are, so the contrast (and the delight) is lost on me.
Only other Idaho movie is gay af Keanu. Vote for Summer, because she's hottest girl in Idaho, and a good dairy cow should have 4 nipples tops, and sharp talons.
Whenever I see a mountain range Uncle Rico pops into my head.
how many dollars would you like to wager that I can hurl this pig skin overtop of that mountain range?
mid-gen millennial here, my peers were obsessed and i fucking hated it.
Hey, Rubber was a phenomenal movie.
Rubber is a masterclass in film making. We watched a fucking tire and it was entertaining as fuck.
I wonder... is it because you have little/no experience with small town America? I loved Napoleon Dynamite partly because it's somewhat nostalgic for me. The movie appeals to people who grew up in the sticks and knew people like Napoleon Dynamite.
I grew up small town America, older Millinial, I'm the demographic for that movie.
I couldn't finish the movie.
Hard disagree, lol. That’s a classic.
I tried to watch it a couple of times and never finished it. Apparently, it's a fairly divisive and hard-to-predict pick for recommendation systems as well.
It really was popular because its humor was so “fresh.” This was just before internet/youtube culture took off and most Americans hadn’t seen such a dry, peculiar film about their own culture. I fucking love it but it’s certainly not for everyone, that’s for sure.
100% respect your opinion. This isn't me telling you you're wrong, just sharing my experience with the movie.
When my wife and I first watched it, after we finished, we looked at each other and were like, "what the fuck did we just watch?". We thought it was awful.
The next morning we were quoting it and laughing our asses off at the utter absurdity of the movie. We now both love the movie.
Edit: grammar and stupid autocorrect
I only watched it once and it was just terrible. I would maybe give it another shot, I don’t really remember it much anyway.
