I\'m guessing you\'ve never seen Caddyshack.

Or any other movie in history.

I watched the movie once all the way through and then a little bit again when my wife was watching it. I never saw a single thing that would cause anyone to like it. It\'s just plain stupid.
Title: Napolean Dynomite
Post by: mjps21983 on September 18, 2005, 05:16:07 AM: Maybe he meant recent history, like within the last year or so.
Title: Napolean Dynomite
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on September 18, 2005, 05:18:26 AM: He didn\'t mean that.

And even so, he\'s still completely incorrect.

Obviously many people do like it, that\'s why you came here looking for support. "Help me fellow dorks!"

Now, if mm knew some skills like the bowstaff, maybe he could finally pickup some chicks. But mm will die alone....on his keyboard.

Title: Napolean Dynomite
Post by: videoholic on September 18, 2005, 07:46:40 AM: no, my point was, how do people like it?

What is there in it?

Horrible dialogue.

Horrible acting.

Absolutely no story.
Title: Napolean Dynomite
Post by: GmanJoe on September 18, 2005, 10:08:14 AM: I liked it coz it was stupidly funny! I never claimed this to be the end all comedy, I just plain ole liked it!

Tina, come get dinner!

Obviously there\'s something there that other people like that you\'re just not getting. I think you\'re taking the thing a little too seriously. You either love it or hate it with a mad raging passion, there\'s no in between with this movie. You just happen to be part of the people on the other side of the fence and you\'ll never understand why the "other" people enjoy it so much. It either clicks or it doesn\'t. So don\'t blow out an eyeball thinking about it too much. The magic just wasn\'t there for you. :thumb:
Title: Napolean Dynomite
Post by: videoholic on September 18, 2005, 11:02:33 AM: I know. IT just that no one can explain why this is funny. Or why people like it. I\'m just so glad I didn\'t waste a penny on it.

Yeah, everyone and their grandma quotes this movie now. I\'m sure it\'ll die down in a few years.
Title: Napolean Dynomite
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on September 18, 2005, 03:18:56 PM: Nope, sorry. Anyone who likes this movie is wrong.

If you do not align your opinion with that of ours, then you will be consequently ridiculed for your failure to recognize that these things are not based on opinion, but rather, fact.

Oh, and I\'m still busy quoting Anchorman, Seinfeld and The Life Aquatic to fit this crap into my "quote cache".

He\'s got the crazy eyes!
Title: Napolean Dynomite
Post by: videoholic on September 18, 2005, 03:27:50 PM: Exactly. There is no opinion here. It is all fact. The movie is horrible. So I need to understand scientifically how any human can see funny.

Saying it\'s a fact is, in essence, an opinion. :stick:

+1, cept high schoolers did it even more :gman:

Thought it was interesting how it was a comedy in today\'s world that was pretty successful considering it had zero profanity or sexual innuendo. Hard to make one these days without those two elements.

I think Viddy was looking for some swear words and tittays

It had sexual inuendo...remember Uncle Rico trying to sell his stupid breast enhancements?

Yeah, he got mad when it had neither.

Post by: THX on September 18, 2005, 09:43:55 PM: Well that one part where Unc Rico began to creep up on that bish in her house while unbuttoning his shirt started to freak me out. Until he pulled another one of those flyers.

Was like *shew!* didn\'t get all hollywood & obvious on me.

^^^

I was referring to the scene that THX pointed out. It was a little disturbing until he pulled out the flyer.

Post by: CHIZZY on September 19, 2005, 04:05:43 AM: I thought the execution of it was good. In order to portray the feeling of hoplessness and isolation of utah or idaho or wherever, not even the "hot" girls were even pretty. They all had cankles and fat faces. The funniest part, tho was when rico threw the steak at his face. But then again I still laugh at the three stooges...
Title: Napolean Dynomite
Post by: JBean on September 19, 2005, 04:23:17 AM: yeah, it was funny that even the popular kids were total dorks. The awkward moments and dialogue were hilarious to me, I didn\'t see it as "bad acting" when they clearly were shooting for that.
