If a movie is quotable...

[greybeta]

If you don't know, I did not like Napoleon Dynamite. This causes great concern among quite a few of my good friends at Tulsa. How could I not like the randomness that is Napoleon Dynamite, one of the ten greatest movies of all time? I admit it has its funny moments. But the movie as a whole just fell flat with me, although its adherents are claiming that they will convert me at another showing of Napoleon Dynamite.

Of course, I made an outlandish standment in argument. Just because a movie is quotable does not make it funny. But then the argument became if a movie is quotable, then it must be good. At that moment I couldn't quite come up with a bad movie that's quotable. Okay, so I don't see a lot of movies. So, I ask you, my faithful readers:

If a movie is quotable, then must that be a good movie?

If you want to quote a movie, you must have enjoyed it enough to bother others with it. This doesn't necessarily mean good acting or such things, but at least you don't think it's a bad movie. Otherwise you wouldn't want to be reminded of it.

Unfortunately, people are all too ready to remind me of the greatness of Napoleon Dynamite.
