Nacho Libre

**Dolemite** · 08 Jun 2006, 10:49 AM

Napoleon Dynamite is one of the biggest pieces of shit ever made. It commits the cardinal sin of movies- it's not good, it's not bad, it's just boring as fuck. A bad movie can still be entertaining, but a boring movie is just completely worthless and everyone who helped to make ND should kill themselves in the most painful way possible.

So, if those same people are responsible for Nacho Libre, I will indeed be skipping it (not that I had much interest anyway).

I thought Napoleon Dynamite was a great movie with some great characters, and I really like Jack Black.

That said, this movie just does not look good.

I like Napoleon Dynamite. I thought it was funny. The previews to Nacho Libre really don't do much for me, but I have a feeling it is actually funny regardless. But I'm not going to pay to see it at a theater full of high school age kids talking over the movie checking their brightly lit cell phones every 2 minutes and kicking the back of my chair, no. Yeah, I'm an old man.

On a side note, Cars hasn't garnered a smidgeon of interest in me whatsoever. I have a feeling it will be good too considering it's Pixar, but I dunno... I just don't get the appeal of a movie about a bunch of talking cars.

But talking toys, talking fish, and talking bugs grabbed your attention with a stranglehold?

I don't care if Napoleon Dynamite had no plot (which it didn't), no conflicts (also didn't), and was downright stupid (it really was). I laughed my ass off and enjoyed every second of it.
I expect the same from Nacho Libre. Jack Black once made me think that Orange County was a good movie. If he could do that, he can do anything...

Talking animals are a mainstay of animated features; they're more a reflection of us than they are Animals Talking. The Toy Story movies tapped into my inner child, because, you know, we all played with toys, made them talk, and thought that just maybe when we weren't around they had lives of their own. I have no idea what to make of a movie about talking cars.

Also, cars are far less dynamic than, say, fish or toys. Cars don't have arms, hands, or legs. Not much for them to do but roll around and shit.

The cars are pretty animated in the commercials... I can understand the skepticism but come on, its Pixar.

I think this movie, well... the previews have grown on me a little. I think it has potential. I love Jack Black so that has a lot of sway.

Dont listen to Andrew's pompous bloviating, though - if you think it looks bad I am halfway there already.
