For the record, Gentlemen Broncos is absolutely nothing like Napoleon Dynamite.
Do you actually believe that, considering you mentioned Jared Hess's "distinctive style"? Surely that implies common features?

:
Just because a director has a distinctive style doesn't mean he just made the same movie.
No. Of course it doesn't. Making a plot and characters that show constant and obvious parallels with the previous film does.

I mean, of course it was different, the degree of which is debatable - For the record, they are pretty damn similar; to the point that you can match every character up with one from Napoleon - but if this is Hess's style, I just hope he uses it on a less obvious setup next time.

Napoleon was better, but Broncos was fine. It was above-average.

Judging by that GIF alone, I can say it looks nothing like Napoleon Dynamite.

Just my two cents.

That's from a sci-fi movie within the main story.

The film's about a kid trying to make a movie.

Yes. I've seen Gentlemen Broncos. Thank you so much for posting this.
So that's the name of the movie where this footage comes from? I had someone asking me in the other day the name of it, but I couldn't answer since I never saw it.

Until someone comes and takes some bits and pieces of your story to use in their own story and sells it legally. Which is the point I was trying to make.

Sword of Shannara is an interesting borderline case. It manages this without being particularly interesting.

And then his screenplay gets stolen and he tries to get back at the writer who took it.

I'd say it's a pretty fundamental part of the story.

I dunno what's worse, the shirt itself or the fact he seems to have gotten his scathing political commentary the wrong way round.

It's a really clumsy translation.

Dude says to the Vampire "how many people have you fed from"
Vampire is like "How many loaves of bread have you eaten?"

As in too many to count because it's a regular meal.
