- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

An American highschool movie that doesn't stink.

That movie was unique, creative, and didn't try too hard. Maybe the first movie I remember being a hit that wasn't in theaters.
Comparing it with the complete over saturation of on screen entertainment today makes it look way better too.

An enjoyable movie. I was still in High School when it came out and 1 of the 15 or so white students in my class looked just like him when he put on the wig. Nigga ended up becoming the focus of our senior video.
i think its one of the best movies that captured living in a rural highschool with mexican migrants

That Mormon and his wife who made it had exactly one good movie in them.
Nacho Libre is great, so i’d say two good movies
in a lot of ways nacho libre is better than Napoleon dynamite
Nah it's shit
fist time i watched it i hated it
but i ended up watching it a few more times and each time it got funnier
so you are wrong
I only watched it once so I guess I forgot to laugh.
I'll give it another shot
I always loved this movie. They made it funny with out having to go the R-rated route, thats hard to do in movies these days (or 20 years ago when this came out).
This movie always had a live action Beavis and Butthead feel to it. I think I watched the 1st ep of the cartoon, but didn't like ??

The "your mom went to college" part still makes me laugh.

Every once in a while ill rewatch the farm scene and him counting his payment in coins.
“6 dollars..thats like a dollar an hour!”

Haven't watched it in years but it seems to hold up as long as the retarded fans who quote everything from it aren't around to RUIN it. I was literally just thinking of the scene randomly this morning when the incoherent old man was about to dispatch a cow or a horse next to a school bus loaded with kids and how much of hilariously hard time he was actually having loading a single shell, closing the breach, almost needing two hands to cock it, just to quickly and perfectly mount it before the screaming starts.
Uncle Rico is fawkin awesome too.

This is exactly what makes it good. Making a movie for teenagers that's funny without being dirty or mean is a real challenge. They manage to capture the awkwardness of that stage of life that's resolved without overt sex, cruelty, or some implausible prank. I always took it as a signal that people like Napoleon, Deb, and Pedro are odd, but content, and their experience is more widespread than the popular kids, which is why they win the election. They win by leaning into what makes them weird, not pretending to be like Summer. I gotta rewatch it, haven't seen it since it first came out.
It’s a good comedy. Uncle Rico hucking a steak at Napoleon and Diedrich Bader doing the Rex Kwon Do shit were always up there as my fav parts of it. I knew quite a few Rex types in my day. I haven’t seen it in years though.
