Meanderings of a Monkey Juggler

Saw "Napoleon Dynamite" last night.

Hmm.  I haven't seen many fillums that have been cobbled together from merely one idea for one set-piece.  In this case the writers clearly thought "I know!  Let's have a nerd dancing really well.  Now how do we set a fillum around that central scene?"

In fact the only fillum that I can think of that had less of an auspicious beginning was the Troma flick called "Mutant on the Bounty".  I'm convinced they had that title way before they'd thought of a fillum to put it on.

Bits of Napoleon were funny.  The acting was indifferent.  The love interests weren't interesting.  But the dancing was good.

Have fun.
