Jared Hess

I think the dance number is my favourite part. Especially how he starts out with his hands in his pockets.
Also, the awkward scene at the dance with them standing a full arm's length apart? I've been to a Mormon dance - that was not an exaggeration. At all. Which was what was so brilliant about it.
(Also, I'd
read this and forgotten, but Napoleon Dynamite is a pseudonym used by Elvis Costello, on the credits of
Blood & Chocolate. Apparently this is just a huge coincidence.)
