why is this film so based?

Because Kip gets with a tall blonde woman

because the chicken has large talons.

because it wasn't some big commercialized Hollywood movie. Idk if it was a genuine independent film or was just meant to look like one, but either way, it works.

what do you wanna bet i can throw this thread over them archives?

Uncle Rico was 34

Because it was based on the daily life of the greatest state ever

Yeah it really does make it seem like a comfy state to live in. It's probably nothing like that nowadays though

moron

if you need a friend...

Uncle Rico is is the White Lotus

Childhood is thinking you are like Napolean.
Growing up is realising you ended up like Uncle Rico in the end.

Preston (where the film takes place) very much still is. I have family there I'll visit from time to time

Nigga turned into a luxury hotel

The writing and performances.

Comfy Idaho living in the mid-aughts

Majority-white cast

A reminder of simpler times

Weird whites are just weird, not gay

No it's not the greatest state ever it's definitely horrible and racist and blah blah blah. If any Californians see this: don't move here because it's so toxic and racist! Yep! you would hate it here! Don't come here, it's awful!

Nah he was about 40 since the movie was from 2004, and I'm pretty sure he said he was in high school class of 1982.

He's jewish, thoughbeit.

I tried to show this movie to my zoomer gf, but she thought it was boring and didn't understand the humor.

it's deep drama movie, there's no humor

captured the zeitgeist of the times

how is it "based" holy shit some of you just throw that word around carelessly and have no idea what that means

little white guy bleaching black giantess

fantastic movie
except some cuts have this bizarre epilogue scene of the wedding between kip and lafawnduh and the tone is completely off. kip sings a purposefully "cringe" song and napoleon shows up on a horse which he says he tamed from the wild (which inadvertently makes you believe all of his outlandish claims which ruins his character, a big part of the humor of napoleon is that he talks himself up like a middle school kid but you know he's actually full of shit, him secretly being able to tame and ride wild horses ruins that, feels like someone missed the joke of his character and thought "its hilarious because what if he actually CAN fight wolverines with nunchucks and the joke is no one believes him!). was the epilogue directed by someone else or added to the movie years later or something? it feels like someone added it to the film who didnt understand the rest of the humor of the movie

There's someone out there for us all.

underappriciated post

the joke is that this one alleged skill of his is actually true, you autist

All cuts have this scene in them. It was at the very least present in the very first theatre cut DVD

Kip won.

idaho is horrible it's filled with racist, LGBTphobic, sexist white people in the north and Mormons in the south.

imagine being this autistic

Why is your mom so based?

i dont like that and it feels written by someone who misunderstands his character. napoleon should never epicly show up on a white horse he tamed from the wild, its incongruent with the film. He's a dorky kid who bullshits everyone about his abilities and he comes through in the end with a silly yet confident dance number. The gag of one of these outlandish skills actually being true feels incongruent with the humor of the film. The film is incredibly grounded but the epilogue feels like it was written by someone else who thought the movie was about "cringe" humor and epic chuck norris moments. You have to admit the tone of the epilogue doesnt feel like the same film you just watched. It almost feels like a dream sequence its so ridiculous

Holy autism

was the epilogue directed by someone else or added to the movie years later or something?

iirc it was a one-year cast reunion or something they added to the DVD release. It wasn't in the theatrical version.

Vincent Gallo almost got to play Uncle Rico

it's possible for even the goofiest person to have at least one skill
youre over analyzing the joke

the fact that Lafaunda's family looks visibly embarrassed at the wedding scene would never happen in a movie now lmao

No that anon is absolutely right he's just being a little autistic about it is all

I could have gone pro too If I wanted.
