I would imagine that Jon Heder is the first Mormon that I have ever interviewed for SuicideGirls. But he has every right to be here because he is the star of the film, Napoleon Dynamite, which many are saying could develop a large cult following on the scale of Donnie Darko or Ghost World.

From Preston, Idaho comes Napoleon Dynamite who spends his days drawing mythical beasts, fighting with his 32-year-old brother Kip [played by Aaron Ruell] and avoiding his creepy Uncle Rico [played by Jon Gries]. But Napoleon and his two new friends...

hmm... napoleon dynamite is the name of the painting on the cover of elvis costello's blood and chocolate album (and is also his alias in the same album's liner notes).

wonder if there's any connection?

(...of course maybe both elvis and whoever wrote this movie both got the name from somewhere else. might have to do some research. ...later though.)

I was fortunate enough to catch a screening of Napolean Dynamite a few weeks back and it's definitely worth checking out as soon as it's out. I'm sure it'll be the next big cult flick and it's definitely worth the classification.

there is no connection to elvis costello. i read an interview with the director and he'd not even heard about it. pretty sweet.

This movie was fucking awesome. I couldn't stop laughing for the first five minutes (nevermind you that I'm easily amused to begin with)!
