wOOt

Me and ex-Gov. Ann Richards saw Napoleon Dynamite last night at the tiny Dobie Theatre in Austin. I've got to recommend watching this film. Especially with Ann. She laughed and laughed and laughed. Good for her. It was me, Ann, her daughter and about six teenagers - all oblivious.

-UPDATE-

Since reading the reviews on IMDB, I've decided this movie provides a mirror, reflecting the values of the reviewers. Some of these guys are dense. They complain about the nerdyness of Napoleon (that's the point). Some are so unfamilier with the concept of the high school nerd, they don't realize that it's funny the way he plays teatherball with himself and that he mouth breathes, and that he's so instantly negative (Gah... I HATE you).

Go see this movie. But don't expect to be amazed by it. It's not aiming high.
