" How much you wanna bet , i can throw a football over those mountains over there...?? " 😂😅🤣😂🤪

I love her but she can be annoying and act like a Karen most of the times. But she is still a sweet, nice, and kind-hearted girl.
you said a lot of words...I thought it was just about autism.
Ligers are real.
In my anecdotal experience it was usually boomers and many members of Gen X who disliked the film. My parents are Gen X and I recently asked them how is it that back in the day they found Napoleon Dynamite to be stupid when they literally were fans of Beavis and Butthead which had pretty similar humor to Napoleon lmao
The director starred in Rolling Kansas. Another sleeper.
Uncle Rico had a mean arm for throwing steaks, you gotta admit!
I never thought of Napoleon Dynamite as a high school movie, as the adults and their issues get plenty of screentime as well, and a lot happens that has nothing to do with school. More of a "slice of life in a small town" movie.
underrated video
I miss when even though she was a smart kid but was still a kid and didn’t force her ideals onto anyone😊
9:48 Gee, if only she kept that piece of her growth but the writers didn’t
The cool part is that I was in HS when this movie came out! We quoted it all the time! It took me a while to finally watch it, but when I did, it lived up to The Hype and then some!
Same! Well, sophomore at college. Spring break road trip we were quoting it galore 😆
It's the best 👌
A animação help é provavelmente, pelo que os fans do jack dizem, sobre problemas mentais como depressão. O cara começa com um problema, representado como ele sendo esmagado por uma pedra, mas ele não parece perceber ou ligar, daí uma outra pessoa chega e percebe que ele tem um problema e diz pra ele que ele precisa de ajuda, mas não faz nada pra ajudar, só diz que ele precisa de ajuda e vai embora Daí uma outra pessoa chega, que parece só ter percebido por causa do cara amassado estar pedindo ajuda, e pergunta como ele pode ajudar, mas o cara amassado não sabe, então o outro cara só diz que ele não quer ajuda e vai embora.
Low analog presentation? You mean low fidelity analog presentation? What you’re saying is that the film was low fidelity before bootlegs of it were made?
Great movie
Lisa simpson is the most evil character in TV history
Peace ✌🏼 out..
The most amazing thing about Haynes' movie on Karen Carpenter, it really stays with you, regardless of how many movies you watch a month or year, and I watch a lot of movies.
I think it was a good movie at the right time with the right audiences!! We all quoted this, and/or could recite the entire movie ❤😂
One of the bosses from a previous job is named Napoleon.
Happy 20th anniversary! Those of us in Idaho love Napoleon Dynamite. Vote for Pedro!
I tried to watch this with my family. My mom is a kindergarten teacher who works with a lot of kids at Kevin & Kaylee’s age. The second we heard Kevin’s agonized cries from stabbing himself, she broke down and left. I kinda forgot how sensitive to that she was, especially because we’ve watched The Shining and other great horror films. The fact it got her like that, while most movies put her to sleep, shows how effective the film is. Edit: She didn’t even want to finish it. She asked me (because I watched it first) if it at least had a happy ending. I said no. She said this film was truly cruel and evil.
It was definitely one of the cruelest horror movies I've ever seen. The scene of the blood splattering repeatedly and Kevin asking if he "Could watch something happy for once" were just so sad. The former was one of the hardest hitting scenes I've seen in horror even though so little is shown, but all it implied was so sad and cruel.
I like your sleeves. They're really big.
IN THIS HOUSE...
"moaning lisa" my all time favourite
When Batman looked at the boy, he was experiencing empathy. Empathy isn't confined to offering kindness to another as is suggested for a moment here... it's awareness of another's feelings.... in that moment, Batman struggled with his own feelings knowing what the child is going through. That is empathy. He may not have utilised that feeling to offer kindness or support, but he felt it and shared that moment of recognition. Ultimately hope and despair are on the same spectrum. We may experience both... there is no absolute and no certainty.... and both are possible. Much like happiness and sadness. Life isn't about obtaining one and avoiding the other, if we have any chance of finding a bit of peace in between. Life should be about nurturing hope and connecting to the silence and peace between as best we can.
i love lisa
I just wanted to be like Lisa Simpson and follow the instructions on how to be like her To dress like her and doing her voice impression 1.her white pearl necklace around her neck 2.her red dress but since I won’t buy one I’ll make one myself 3.her white bloomers aka her underwear and panties to cover up her body 4.yellow legging pants for her legs and body 5.her red shoes for her feet 6.her hands yellow gloves 7.yellow body paint for my face to cover it up 8.a yellow jacket for 9.a pair of sunglasses that has her eyes and her face 10.and practicing her voice impression to speak like a girl and become a vegetarian like her
that's cringe, bro. get you own life, instead of turning yourself into a clone of a cartoon character
I always loved the use of Ken and Barbie Dolls as a way of patraying the fake plastic world she lived in
Hated this film when it was released as an 18 year old, but recently decided to give it another crack as a 38 year old with my daughters. Absolutely brilliant film that had us laughing so much. Simple with wholesome themes of friendship and growing up with a strangely nostalgic soundtrack.
I was genuinely scared of this movie. Like what you explained, I felt like I was just as helpless as the kids, I felt like a child, I didn’t know what was about to happen and I couldn’t do anything about it. When I first watched it I tried watching it with my dad but he walked out 5 minutes into the movie saying “it’s boring”. I understand, but that really frustrated me with how quickly he walked out.
6:56 Made up mythical creatures like "ligers"
I replied to a different comment about this but I did in fact go my entire life until like 8 months ago believing that ligers were fake creatures. I hope everyone continues shaming me!
i was a huge batman fan during the release of the movie, but i didnt watch it, during the wave of The Batman, Something in the way was used a lot in the batman edit videos and i saw them a lot, and i took a liking to something in the way, and then a year later, i was immersed in nirvana, knowing their discography and so on, then i decided to watch the batman because it finally was released on netflix, it was such an expensive dinner, watching and hearing something that pleases me really well.
Rome wasnt a suicide attempt.. Kurt Cobain was murdered. #JusticeforKurt #burntheliars
I just want to go back in time and enjoy this for the first time again
Amazing video! I was hooked and thanks for the new album I'm about to obbsess OVER!! <3
why is this somewhat scary but also comforting
Gyatt
Many semi-autistic characters here. The fact that they aren't really trying to be anything other than who they are is endearing. They are all innocents, even Rico. It's an implied criticism of phony coolness, and that kind of "growing up" that actually means becoming a big, convincing phony.
Good evening.
Good morning.
Amazing video, bro, what mic do u use?
Thanks for checking out the video! I use a Blue Yeti X to record and I use Audacity to edit my audio!
How can anyone hate Lisa. I always loved her and i still love her
because she became a political mouthpiece for the writers. Early Lisa was way more nuanced than modern one.
When you realize the skinamarink demon is made of the same evil than the hotel in Shinning
Great video! This movie came out the year I got married. Twenty years later my husband and I still quote it and have seen it I don't know how many times. I can never make quesadillas without yelling "dang QuesaDILLas" . 😂My parents, on the other hand, saw it once and couldn't understand why we love it so much. Maybe it's a generation thing. My mom said "I don't understand why he always looks like he's falling asleep standing up!" 😂
This movie is genius,that is all!!
I think it hits even harder when you realize that kurt cobain was very likely mrdered .
Someone wrote an incredible review on Letterboxd and all I can think about is that--personally, in my opinion-- it gives off not just the eeriness of being a child and being afraid of the dark - but also within the first five minutes, the sense of dread that gave off the feeling of childhood abuse. It was so familiar, and dragged me back to those memories, and I haven't watched the movie for longer than five minutes since I first tried...
Wonderful, measured essay! Thank you! I’m a huge fan of Karen and have always been impressed by Todd Haynes’ work here, as eerie as it comes off. I do think he meant this as a thoughtful homage as well as a commentary on the many struggles Karen suffered.
