    I think this is going to be more of a "Watch the DVD at home with a group of friends" movie than a "Go out to a theater" film. #gentlemenbroncos

    "Benjamin Purvis, a teenager nominally homeschooled by his loving but distracted mother (an appropriately out-of-it Jennifer Coolidge), spends most of his days writing pulpy science fiction stories."

    As much as I enjoy Jemaine Clement, Sam Rockwell, and large-breasted bald women, I can't get past how much I absolutely disliked Napoleon Dynamite. #gentlemenbroncos

    @Bongoes: It would be a tossup between a) the lack of characters I liked, believed in, found interesting, or cared about, and b) the utter disinterest I had regarding what was happening or could happen to anyone onscreen.

    Hess' brand of humor doesn't really work for me. #gentlemenbroncos

    Its sad to see a movie like this getting beat up critically. Its time for Hollywood critics to be recycled, they have been hopelessly disconnected from audiences for years now.. #gentlemenbroncos

    @atrus123: I would too, to be honest. I went in with no particular expectations and enjoyed it. It definitely deliberately breaks a lot of storytelling conventions (which I interpreted as silly and a lot of reviewers saw as messy), and it's not Napoleon Dynamite. But I can't get those zany Sam Rockwell bits out of my head, and I'm still chuckling at Jemaine Clement.

    @atrus123: I saw it last night and I absolutely loved it… but my friends absolutely hated it. I think it is just one of those films, that has a very specific (and a very small) audience. Those who appreciate it will love it tremendously, and those who don't get it will hate it even more…

    you want regular? or menthol?

    also, my local theater is about to do a double-feature night in 35mm of Dune (original 1974 theatrical cut) and Krull. a theme they're referring to as "spicy krullers." #gentlemenbroncos

    I bought the boxed set of TMNT recently and have been watching the movies with my daughter. I noticed Sam as one of the kids and had a good laugh since he was in Moon and will be in Iron Man 2. I guess everyone starts out somewhere. #gentlemenbroncos
