…there’s something terribly wrong with you.
Just got back from Napoleon Dynamite, which we saw at Greensboro’s luxury theatre, the Carousel. Normally, I’d scoff, but I love seeing movies at this place. It’s independently owned, it has stadium-seating, they sell espresso drinks–real espresso drinks–and alcohol. And (best of all), the usher told us (and everyone else in line) that there was a bit of movie at the end of the credits. I almost hugged him. That’s one of the most courteous things that a theatre employee can do, I think.
The movie was amazing. One of the most unique, most clever comedies I’ve seen in a while. The director, Jared Hess, made me think of a concussed Wes Anderson. Not as tight in plot or cinematography, but still, an overall success. Natania said it was like a really warped John Hughes movie, and I agree. It even had my favorite Cyndi Lauper song in it, “Time After Time,” and everyone’s favorite When In Rome tune, “The Promise.”
