ASL, you can't escape it

A friend has been insisting that I watch Napoleon Dynamite. I made it part of the way through, but that is a sad movie, and I don't mean that in an emotive way, rather it is just sad. But there is ASL, so there you go:

Love it is a butterfly.

Why did she insist you see this? For a laugh? They stop interpreting 1/2 way through.

See "razor"

I believe I watched the whole movie but don't remember any of it. I'm always hopeful there's a good one out there at the cost of many unmemorable ones and, worse, unwatchable ones.

Sicaro: Day of the Soldado (2018) has ASL too. Action but essentially plotless. Ending is not the ending but the first scene of the possible sequel.

Lots of dead people left and you won't be able to remember which ones they were. Not essential to the action.

This was a fun movie to watch w/ your kids. No drugs, no drinking, just silly.

What I remember about this movie was that it was supposed to be about deplorables (not yet sxpressly identified as such) in Idaho.

Well, I finished it. Mercifully I was able to work on other tasks while it played. Not much of a movie, but I think that is the point. There sure aren't many trees in the part of Idaho where that was filmed - if I lived there I would struggle to obtain enough material to be productive. Mercifully I live in a forest.

There was some more "signing" at the end - it was even more vague than the clip I posted here. Had I not been told to look for it I would not have recognized it as signing.

Anyway, the back story is that this good looking redhead used to live right down the road from me, we worked together and she is great. Then she met a guy and they got married and moved down by the river, far away. Her husband is the person who encouraged me to watch it, heck, he loaned me the DVD, and since they will be in town this weekend I decided to watch it and get that chore over with then return it to them. She hates it, he loves it and I tend to agree with her assessment now that I have viewed it. But I realize now that I should have tamed a wild honeymoon stallion and ridden it to their wedding. Huge opportunity missed right there.

It's a fun movie. You dislikers are all #neverPedros.

One of Napoleon Dynamite's contributions to our collective culture is: "Tina you fat lard come get some dinner."

That movie is almost right up there with quoting from Idiocracy.
