Napoleon Dynamite Effect

they can't seem to quite get to this 10% mark because of the effect of a the ratings on a certain subset of indie movies, the flash point of which is "Napoleon Dynamite."

The other polarizing indie-minded gems the programmers have noticed this same glitch with are: "Fahrenheit 9/11," "I Heart Huckabees," "Lost in Translation," "Kill Bill: Volume 1" (note, not volume 2!), "Sideways," and "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou."

there was a cool blog post somewhere (maybe by 'just a guy in a garage') that was looking at the effect of sequels.. they tend to be rated higher (maybe because the people who thought the first movie was bad didn't even go and watch the second one!)
