1. Representing the minority of 1 in 10000

who utterly hates Napoleon Dynamite...

Let me ask you...

What makes that movie funny?

For me the film is rather like watching paint dry, only without the excitement.

[CatWoman]

4. I can't explain it to you

I just found it hilarious.

Especially Pedro - the master of dead pan.

And Napoleon's uncle and brother :rofl:

[uppityperson]

6. I especially liked the part where I left to go get popcorn.

Only good part was the dance.

20. I think the characters are what made it funny

Especially John Heder as Napolean Dynamite. His voice and mannerisms were hilarious.

2. I could watch this movie over and over again

Everytime it was on HBO, I had to watch it.

"Come get some ham, Tina"

My husband and I recite lines from that movie all the time. The scene where he's working at the chicken farm is hilarious.

3. Follow your heart. That's what I do.

Classic.

:thumbsup:

We actually own that movie. :D

[CatWoman]

7. I do too

:)

a very dear DUer recommended it to me: DrWierd.

Unfortunately my bud isn't with us anymore :(

13. Sorry to hear that, Catwoman.

I didn't know him or of him.
But, you can watch the movie, laugh and think of him fondly. His memory lives on.... O8)

5. The chapstick discussion. Then the "Tina Dinner" one mentioned above.

There is a guy at work that recites the lines and is hysterical. I found one of these ND pens at Circle K that has recordings of some of the lines. I bought it for him. He plays it when clients are jerks.

8. Remember the "time machine"?

:rofl:

[RockaFowler]

10. The Time Machine

that they bought on the internet . . .
OMIGOD! Don't forget the crystals!
Thanks for the laugh tonight! Now where is that DVD???

[Shine]

15. LOL!! Yeah, right....the crystals!!!

hilarious.

[Cannikin]

9. Thats a hard question. I loved the whole movie.

[Redstone]

11. The whole time I watched that movie, I wanted to detest it, but I couldn't.

Can't figure out why.

[Shine]

14. That's cuz you follow your heart.

like Napoleon does. :D heheheh.

[Redstone]

16. Maybeso. But you'd never see me dancing. Even years ago, when I could.

How've you and yours been, sweetheart? We haven't talked for a while.

Hope all is well out there in the West.

18. Hi, darlin'. Things are good, all in all. Thanks for asking.

I just scored tix to see James Taylor up in SF next month, so I'm totally stoked. He's an all-time fave of mine, since waaaay back. :thumbsup: I even booked a hotel room so the hubby and I can make it into a romantic overnite getaway without the kids! Yeah, baby! :bounce:

The family is good. Shinegirl about to start up another season of softball and eagerly awaiting the day we get another kitten to make up for the recent loss of her sweet kitty, Spark, who was killed by a car a few weeks back.

Shineboy recently discovered our 15 yr old ancient video camera and now fancies himself to be the next Speilberg. Hey, it could happen.

Mr Shine and I are back into cycling again and actively training for an organized century ride (100miles in a day) in about 6 weeks, down in Solvang. It'll be the 25th anniv of the event, with 5,000 riders, should be interesting and challenging. We did it before, back in 2000. Beautiful ride, gorgeous country...But I've got a lot of work to do to get my ass in shape again, though...:D lol.

How's life on your end. Are you still experiencing pain-free days? Gawd, I hope so. xoxoxo!!
:hug:

[Redstone]

19. Good deal on the JT tix and the overnight stay. You and Mr Shine need to do that once in a while.

And for the Century? Go for it! I had a lover once (many years ago) who lives in Moorpark, who told me many times that she wanted to take me to Solvang for a weekend (though we never did it), so I've heard that it's a very nice place.

And I seem to remember that Shineboy needed some advice a little bit ago; it seems he's conquering the dreaded Fifteen pretty well. It can be a tough time for a boy.

Fifteen (1966) was when I lost my "Big Brother" in Viet Nam, and that event changed my life, including being the cause of the pain I suffer. I did have those good days, and am hoping for more.

There's always hope, yes?

Good to hear that the Shine clan is doing well. You all deserve to be happy, and I am gratified to hear that you are.

12. yeah, that was pretty much awesome.

17. Vote for Summer!

They need a sequel.

21. I went out wearing a "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt one time in LA

and I ended up in a political discussion about Arnold Schwarzenegger! Somebody wondered if a person named Pedro was Schwarzenegger's next opponent. (This was over a year ago)
