Napoleon Dynamite Review - June 14th, 2005 [ « ] [ » ]

Dynamite? More like bag-o-shite.

Hello Tom, liking the new website, and being able to log in is handy!

What didn’t you like about Napoleon Dynamite? I suspect it might be annoying in a similar way to I Heart Huckabees, as discussed over on my blog. Another film that will probably make me gnaw my own arm off in irritation is Garden State, with that smug git Zach Braff.

What is it with US indie films and smug, cloying tweeness at the moment?

1> No plot
2> No characters
3> The whole thing looks like a Beck album cover circa ‘96
4> Insufferably smug
5> Ha Ha people who are different are funny.
Summary, all the bad bits of Wes Anderson films and none of the good bits

And then Dan said:

Hi Tom. Very pretty. A simple classic design… Does this mean that ‘Infinite Continues’ is closing down for good?

And then tom said:

yeah pretty much. Unfortunately I can’t take credit for the design I’ll soo be changing it anyway, I don’t really like this cool blue, all a bit too corporate feeling for my liking.

And then Dan said:

Why not go for a lime and orange combo?
