What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[€uroMeinke]

Yup, Saw Napoleon Dynamite and I actually founf it to be fun and entertaining, though also fundamentally flawed. I think they missed the boat on the high school outcast thing - 98% of us considered ourselves outcasts. I don't know about the rest of you, but I had no desire to fit in except to find ways to subvert the overall system. So in that respect the maina characters were a bit to "Forrest Gump" to me - wonderful things happen to stupid people.

I also had trouble with the acting and directing, but at the end I see the lead has cast for his dancing and not his acting. The dialogue that seemed to take place with characters all standing in a row also contributed to the flatness of the film. I wanted to see more interaction.

But the characters were quirky - if unbelievable, and the situations silly, so I was laughing out loud at points. So, I'm okay with it - but now I want something meatier.
