    The next bit of real life inspiration for Chevalier, according to Hess, was Michael York in Logan's Run. It's almost creepy how much Clement nailed that accent.

    I will see your Michael York, and raise you one Tim Curry.

    I think the people at AICN missed the parts of the movie where you cheered for Napolean and Pedro and Kip... even Uncle Rico at the end. To me, Napolean the movie showed that even in a microcosm of rural America, people who see the world from a different point of view can have major victories, no matter how small they seem to the rest of the world. #gentlemenbroncos

    Meanwhile, over at AICN another reviewer is complaining that the Nightmare on Elm Street remake doesn't have enough nudity. Different strokes for different folks, I guess, but another slab of woman-hating torture porn upsets me more than the "bully" variety. #gentlemenbroncos

    I have to point this out but I'm getting a little disturbed to see the word "porn" all over popular culture these days. Not that I'm against actual pornography, but it just seems weird to take a word like that and apply it to everything. Seems a bit crass to me. #gentlemenbroncos

    "Bully Porn" is the funniest term I've heard in a while. I think people are a bit too sensitive at times. I'm still dying to see this and if these are the little arguments against held against it then whatever. #gentlemenbroncos

    @Kenro199x: THANK YOU FOR STATING WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING!!!

    Seriously, "Bully Porn?" First, the political correct movement stifles words that make them wet themselves, and now this?

    All it really screams is "EEeeiiiiieee (shriek)! I don't like it because it pokes satirical fun at certain topics and people! And because I don't like it, I want to pan it so that everyone will view my opinion as popular for once!"

    The AICN and Entertainment Weekly can suck it!

    Yes, it's a rant within a reply, but the "political correct" machine has overly pacified society from where I'm sitting.

    Everything that they did in Napoleon Dynamite which seemed original and which tapped into this weird vein where pathos and the grotesque commingle was done more grotesquely and more pathetically in Todd Solondz's Welcome to the Dollhouse and Happiness. #gentlemenbroncos

    @justingeist: Are you kidding, Solondz's work is miserable, humourless and unhappy about humanity in almost every aspect of itself. All it has is an apocalypse of awkwardness which I guess some people want to watch, and a gross hatred of people. #gentlemenbroncos

    @Pope John Peeps II: Since when do the words "pathos" and "grotesque" mean "funny"?

    Having said that, I did laugh my ass off. On some level, Solondz is a comedian. #gentlemenbroncos
