Napoleon Dynamite 2: Gentlemen Broncos When our great grandchildren are sitting on their hover-rafts looking out over the vast expanse of water that covers our planet, cursing us for having left them with a ruined, cannibalistic society, they won't even remember this. They'll be like "what are tater tots? What? What's food?" (P.S. Jemaine Clement is still great.)

P.P.S. So is Sam Rockwell, Jennifer Coolidge, Mike White and Josh Pais (Beiderman from Michael & Michael Have Issues).

Agreed. Does this mean we're going to videogum jail?

I don't know about y'all but I found that trailer HILARIOUS.
See, I can laugh at the transvestite dude and not feel bad because I'm queer, so it's okay.

I just need to say, that I was about to exit out of Videogum, but when I saw "Latest comment by jawbone" it stopped me. And I had to click on the link. Because you're funny. That is all.

WARM AND FUZZIES! Yay!
Also, I didn't downvote your multiple post. You're welcome.
....Okay, maybe it's because I'm stoned, maybe it's because I haven't slept well in a week, but I can't remember what the correct phrase is... is it YOUR welcome or YOU'RE welcome? Like, the welcome that is yours, or you ARE welcome?

I think I sprained my cerebrum.

Wait, what the fuck just happened? Three different comments one said that I couldn't post because I had posted too much (once today), the lawnmower man wants to make me look like a cock. Touche lawnmower man, touche.

Why do I seem to be the only one who doesn't find Flight of the Concords funny? I know we all have our own individual sense of self that comes equipped with a set of personal tastes. and thats cool. But my personal taste is the only one that registers ambivilance towards their brand of humor.

Yes, I have heard the Hiphopopotamus vs Rhymenaucerus. Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor. I get it. I just don't think its that funny. I think its about as funny as Napoleon Dynamite. Thats why this movie makes perfect sense to me. I mean, it makes perfect sense that I don't care about this movie. Am I alone? (I know I'm alone in general, which is why I'm a frequent commenter on this site. I mean in this specific instance.)

I've only seen a couple, and I usually like the episodes themselves, but I would graph the enjoyment of the songs as peaking in the first couple of bars and then pretty quickly tailing off as it goes on and on.

I have to give this one a pass. Sam Rockwell seems to be playing another gloriously absurd, lunatic character without overdoing it (Jim Carrey style). That takes talent, folks. I've loved him since his turn as Zaphod Beeblebrox.

I suppose Gabe's post is meant as an indictment of this film (trailer?), but I can't argue with the point he makes (2012, y'all). Also, I liked Napoleon Dynamite and I will probably like this. That is all.

Does Jared Hess feel locked into the goofy shirt meme? Does he worry that his hardcore fan(s) will disown him if one of his characters wears normal clothes? That's all I got out of this. Oh, Same Rockwell is great in Moon. Too bad about this.

See, I spent all day at work singing to myself about Bret, and how he's got it going on, but not in a gay way. And having not seen FOTC in months, nor thought of it, it seems like an omen. Or perhaps a portent. Like a fortune cookie opened, telling movie that this movie will be good. Despite Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite upon second viewing (cuz seriously, that movie had no legs, right? am i right?)
Im right, right?
