Napoleon Dynamite, Like The Best Special Edition Ever! -- 5/16/06
 
A 2-disc Napoleon Dynamite Special Edition has just been announced.

Details are here.

I was hoping for a Vote for Pedro edition, but, oh well. Cool news nonetheless. The 2-disc unrated Boondock Saints news detailed there is also interesting.

MrStayPuft 02-13-06 06:09 PM

I think I'll stick with my original release, which I believe is a first for me :)

The first release already had the deleted scenes on it, and they were ok, but I'm fine with them not in the movie. Otherwise, doesnt look like too many other new bonus features.

Such an overrated movie. Needless to say, I'm not very interested.

I know it's natural to assume the deleted scenes will be added to the movie because lots of rereleases are getting unnecessary extended editions, but that doesn't say that will be the case here.

Don't really care about this, but I'm excited about the 2-disc unrated Boondock Saints simply b/c it's anamorphic!

Eh, I'll just keep the one I have.

I think this was rumored a while ago. Not buying this new CA$H-IN version.

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't.

Because it was fresh, had original characters, didn't incorporate sex humor, and didn't use a single swear word, and nobody ever gave it a chance.

Then, of course, there are people that just like the damn movie. It's not "overrated" just because a multitude of people like it for reasons other people can't see/appreciate. I never knew it to recieve critical acclaim, anyway. The movie has nothing to "cash in" on, because it's not a fad. It's a piece of Americana like long-stay music stars. It's more or less a Gen Y John Hughes movie. Accept it or not.

I'll definately bring it home.

Eric D. 02-13-06 07:31 PM

Good for you. I'm still am not a fan. Oh and I HATE teen sex comedies and I don't need people to swear to find something funny. This was just painfully hard to watch. Just not my brand of humor. Accept it or not.

I accept it, but why are you in this thread then?

If you look at my original post, I was just agreeing with what many others have already said in regards to not wanting to buy this new version. I then only went on that rant because that guy called me out and I felt I had to defend myself. My reasons for not loving this movie are not what he indicated them to be. That's all and I won't post in this thread again...so no worries.

Edit: And I was not the first person here to indicate that the film was overrated.

Alien Redrum 02-13-06 08:16 PM

I'll be double dipping on this one. :up:

T1000 02-13-06 08:19 PM

I hated it, so it's a no for me.

Simpson Purist 02-13-06 08:30 PM

Nice extras, too bad I'm one of the few who didn't care too much about this movie. I figured a SE was coming judging by the huge cult following it has.

Gizmo 02-13-06 08:37 PM

Besides the ...Awards of 2005 crap, is anything really new? If they included the better deletes scenes back into the movie I would buy it again...not, I'm just not sure.

Rogue588 02-13-06 09:28 PM

Never seen the flick. Didn't buy the first version. Picking up this one.

Artman 02-13-06 09:34 PM

Wonder if SE's of Fantastic 4 and Mr/Mrs Smith will come along with it... don't they usually release these in groups?

mactheknife 02-13-06 10:18 PM

All of you are just jealous because I have been online chatting with hot babes...all...day.

I will buy this. With the wisdom, of a man.

Mr. Cinema 02-13-06 10:29 PM

I hated this the first time I saw it, but I've watched it several times on HBO since and absolutely love it.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them
mountains? My favorite line in the entire movie. Uncle Rico rocks.

But I still think I'll get the single disc. I'm sure this will be on sale for $10 soon.

Sunday Morning 02-13-06 10:42 PM

I loved ND, Gosh!

I hate people who rail on movies they don't like all the time. You all deserve to have your wheely pops go horribly wrong.

I'll upgrade to the 2 disc'r for sure.
