I suspect it's only comfy for people who grew up a little bit poor.
To me it just "feels" comfy like a small rural town of weirdos and normies, there's no huge traffic, swaths of people walking, the movies eerily silent at parts.
Admittedly growing up there would probably suck especially considering this seems to take place in the 90s so at best you'd have a snes or something.
Its like 2005 but everyone in the town is obsessed with the 80s
You just describe millennials.
The internet was just about to kick into high gear and change this somewhat, but trends did once take ten or more years to trickle out to remote areas.
They’re not obsessed, before the internet everyone in small towns were way behind with what was current. Napoleon’s house looks like it’s from the 70s because a lot of people never got rid of the dated wood paneling
it's supposed to take place in the early 80's, but the executives didn't want it
no it isn't moron
>Eight months before the theatrical release, Fox Searchlight had Hess film a title sequence that made it clear that the film took place in 2004, not in the ’80s or ’90s.
That doesn't say it was supposed to take place in the early 80s.
you're right but i still won this conversation TOP KEK LMAO PRAISE KEKISTANI
it's 100% meant to take place in early 2000. The music, the internet, the culturally references. It was never meant to take place in the 80's, maybe late 90's passing,
the 90s didn't end until 9/11 anyway
this. plus there is the diner scene with kip and rico. kip asks him if he's still with tammy and uncle rico says something like "she says im still stuck in 82"
small midwestern towns are always culturally behind everywhere else by at least a decade. this was before the rise of social media and smart phones
>snes
the brother is literally on the internet chatting to his cute girlfriend
yeah and i was in chatrooms in 1999 despite only being 7
my implication was life there would be boring so something as simple as a snes would be a lifesafer
it's in the 2000s but it's a self-deprecating joke that the part of Idaho they're in is behind the times
Its only comfy through the lens of cinematorgraphy, the reality is our urban brains would self destruct from boredom if we were transported there randomly after the age of 12.
Yeah but that doesn't mean it isn't nice or comfy, just boring. The country is an amazing place for just taking it easy
I always wondered what it would be like to live in a small town. I've been a city slicker all my life. I can't tell if it would be comfy or boring. I feel like as a kid, it'll be OK, and as an adult or retiree as long as you can drive. But there has to be a window from like 14 until your early 20s where it'll be misery.
There are pros and cons. Everyone knows each other, which means you get a lot of social support. On the other hand, everyone knows each other, so you're very controlled by older people, and if you have shitty peers, well, you're shit outta luck because you can't just ditch them and find other friends, you're stuck with them and they all know where you live.
>But there has to be a window from like 14 until your early 20s where it'll be misery.
It is if you’re a terminally online doofus like I was, at least. It really isn’t that bad otherwise.
DC is such a strange place. Definitely worth visiting. My family bought tickets to sit in on a session of Congress while we were there, and we took a tour of the White House. I doubt they offer that tour anymore.
I moved to small town (not suburbs) in my mid 30s after living in cities my whole life, and it's literally best time of my life, hands down.
Suddenly all the pointless noise is gone and if I didn't have to work, I'd spent the rest of my life just watching the rest of the family bumble around while I do stuff around the house (never had any experience with tools before)
WELL I WAS BORN IN A SMALL TOWN
Then move to city, I guarantee you you will be back in decade or two.
Living in cities is like being hooked into MMORPG.
14? What did you need from a big city at 14? Growing up in a small town was comfy and wholesome. You were actually part of a community instead of being a nobody in a big city.
What the frick is boring to you, exactly?
Thread of mentally ill children freaking out at the thought of israelites not having 24/7 access to their brains.
Fricking pathetic. End it all, homosexuals.
>he's still upset over the pasty white nerd marrying the tall beautiful black woman
buck status: broken.
I'm making fun of everyone talking about how awful it would would be not being plugged into the matrix for living in a wholesome rural area during a time that wasn't moronic. That you think I was saying anything about that plotline of the movie is unspeakably fricking stupid of you. Legitimately, you're a fricking imbecile.
>Fricking pathetic. End it all, homosexuals.
And I refer you back to my original statement.
over there by that pig pen i found a couple shoshone arrowheads
You ever wish you could just go back?
>tfw I used to laugh at him and now I've turned into him
that was the funniest scene back in 2004
now it hits different
Every fricking day. Whatever happened to the days when he wasn't relatable?
>Uncle Rico used to be a funny joke to me
>now I totally understand how he feels
He's still a clown but I get it man, I really do.
Daily reminder that Rico has a happy ending. The reason he wishes he could go back isn't for the money or the fame, it's because he lost his girlfriend, and he moment he mentions hitting it up with his "soulmate" in the jacuzzi, his face instantly turns to dismal and dour, but by the end of the film, we see his girlfriend returning to him, and he forgets about his football.
A few family members of mine live in a small town in northwest Oklahoma. There are some things that are really great about it: nature everywhere, great school system, community is mostly great. There are also really bad things: very little employment opportunities, have to drive at least 30 minutes to do anything, no choice in internet provider.
>Take a look at what I'm wearing, Cinemaphile. You think a janny wants a shitpost to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it.
ha
Bow to your sensai.
I recently moved from a large coastal city to a small flyover state town and I have to say it's mostly pretty comfy here. A lot of that has to do with living in a town that is 99% white people I suspect.
spent about 4 years of my adolescence in a town like that, it was great. Not being able to adjust to your environment is a skill issue
Went to holiday in states, the so called flyovers were the best places to be, and holy shit how big US is. It's absolute peak comfy.
The cities were the usual hustlebustle shitholes full of the same shit you see in most metropolitan areas all over the world and not worth your time. Washington maybe.
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
>tfw no cute childhood best friend that I grow up to marry
I first watched Napoleon Dynamite when my middle school crush/oneotis brought it over on DVD, and that intro song hit pretty hard. Figured I was in it to win it, but when the next school semester started she only hung out with her brother's friends and pretty much stopped hanging out with me entirely.
Living in cities is literal hell. I grew up in a small town, and also felt the urge to do uni in a larger city. Was absolute hell. Now. I'm moved back to my small town, and even have a desire to move further into the sticks. Hunting is great btw.
Woods/hills/desert/wilderness > small towns > suburbs > cities
Last week, Japanese scientists explaced... placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Cort Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally.
I thought this was a schizo shitpost then at "loch ness" remember it was a line from the movie
When you're young you think places like New York or Los Angeles are amazing and cool, but that's only because you're young and stupid. When you mature (assuming you ever do) you realize small towns and rural areas are much better. Of course drug addicts and moron adhd autism tards will disagree.
Small towns suck ass but medium towns are pretty nice. I grew up rural.
One of the few films to accurately portray the "popular" guy in highschool.
>considered pretty because he's tall and has a really shitty hairdo with too much gel
>half his popularity comes from who he's dating
>always making stupid faces instead of talking so no one finds out how much of a moron he is
>constantly doing quirky gimmicky shit like shuffling in place when laughing to try and taunt everyone
>when confronted or talked to directly by anyone who is not his friend he simply scoffs and shakes his head
Destined to be a cop who gets their department sued to shit for beating the shit out of someone who happened to piss him off by talking back to him
