Not the kind of whore you'd find in Amsterdam's red-light district, but a movie whore for my main man Napoleon Dynamite. This is and will probably end up being the funniest movie of 2004. My infatuation with this film began with my first peepage of this masterpiece in late April (see my original review here). I ended up seeing it two more times for free.
The last of those was this past Thursday. My posse and some lucky TWS readers were treated to a real treaty treat. The free shwag (I don't call free stuff 'swag') doled out was the mos supreme-o evs! I loaded up on as much Napoleon stickers, Napoleon trading cards, Napoleon chap-sticks, Vote For Pedro buttons, tater tot t-shirts, and even plastic nunchucks, that my pockets could support. As we exited the theater, there were mounds o' tater tots and box o' milks laid out for our vittlenessness. It didn't end there. As we approached the lobby, the f-in MAN himself (in character) was there interviewing people for some MTV promotion. Being a man of no shame, I o' course approached him and allowed myself to be filmed. I'm Amish and normally wouldn't let my soul be captured into a life recording box, but everyone has a breaking point, right? I told him that this was my 3rd time seeing his movie and he noted that he'd only seen The Neverending Story that many times in a theater. I asked him if the Rock Biter was his favorite and he claimed that Falcor was. We parted ways, but I knew we'd be BFF (breast friends forever).
Over the weekend, I felt bad that I had seen the movie for free 3 times, so when Levittown, The Thinker, Gomberino, and myself couldn't agree on a movie to see, I took one for the team and told em we had to see it. So for the record, I've now seen Nap Dyna four times, three for free, and in the process me now own 3 different Nap Dyna related t-shirts. I think I'll take a breather before seeing it again, but I think my personal best of seeing Pulp Fiction 7 times in a theater will remain untouched. So don't listen to Ebert kids, just go and see Napoleon Dynamite NOW (or whenever it opens in yer backwater town).
