Napoleon Dynamite and the end of mankind

If you want a sense of how bad things have become in the culture, go rent Napoleon Dynamite. I was appalled. Napoleon Dynamite is not merely awful, its essential purpose is cultural destruction. By venerating a nihilistic anti-hero, this movie not only revels in its utter bankruptcy, but seeks to undo the enlightenment and return us to the rule of the primitive. It is the ultimate expression of postmodern sophistry.

However, I did like his dance.
