NEW WES ANDERSON FILM FEATURES DEADPAN DELIVERY, METICULOUS ART DIRECTION, CHARACTERS WITH FATHER ISSUES.

LOS ANGELES—Fans who attended a sneak preview Monday of critically acclaimed director Wes Anderson's newest project, The Darjeeling Limited, were surprised to learn that the film features a deadpan comedic tone, highly stylized production design, and a plot centering around unresolved family issues.

"What will he think of next?" audience member Michael Cauley said. "And who could have foreseen the elaborately crafted '60s-era aesthetic, melancholy subtext, and quirky nomenclature—to say nothing of the unexpected curveball of casting Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Bill Murray?"

In a recent review, New York Times film critic A.O. Scott also expressed surprise at the film's cutting-edge soundtrack, which features a Rolling Stones song and three different tracks by the Kinks.

Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola are HORRIBLE
by CarmillaVonDoom

10:24:37 AM
Their superficial 'look at me' style of directing is so phony. They're basically making movies FOR and WITH their friends. Which would be fine, but it isn't THEIR money. 'Spoiled brat' is what I think when I see a trailer for one of their movies.
I only liked Rushmore

I could respect Royal T, but I found it overloaded and shrill. Life Aquatic was just one dull empty mess except for the fight against the pirates.

I think Wes Anderson is a classic example of a filmmaker that I want to like more, but can't. I'll still probably give this a rent.

"Boo-frickin-hoo" I have ten million in the bank, I've got good looks, I have charisma on the screen so I think I'll kill myself with drugs because I'm "sooo wonely" I can't get the girl I want. Every guy wishes he could change events and be with that one special girl. Every guy has had his heart broken including me. It happens to all of us. Its okay to pine of her, but its not okay to try and kill yourself. Note to Owen Wilson...there are 6.6. billion people on the planet. Roughly 60% are women. You got a pretty fucking good chance to find someone else that fits your criteria. You don't like being an actor? Go work at at Joe job for minimum wage for eight hours a day taking shit from inferior assholes. Also, if you don't want your money, I'll gladly accept it. So quit your bitching and man up.
I'm not an Anderson fan, either.

Make no mistake: I think he has genuine talent, unlike a lot of the pretenders out there. But he seems to be a one trick pony. I saw the DARJEELING trailer and thought I'd seen it all before: quirky family resolves long unspoken hostilities while surrounded by quirky art direction...and end with characters slow motion walking. I always hope he delivers something as good as his first two movies..and his Amex commercial. That was funny.

...the good life can kill you if you're not responsible and being responsible starts with taking charge of your own life and not letting others tell you what to do. Harry Lewis("Key Largo") and his wife created "Hamburger Hamlet" and "Kate Mantilini's." I don't see them all drugged out feeling sorry for themselves and I certainly don't feel sorry for Wilson and will never see another film he's in. So the guy gets laid because he's famous. This is Hollywood. Most of the women here are ready to "star fuck" anyone then move on to the next higher up in the food chain that will further their career. Just ask Demi Moore and Sharon Stone. They're called actresses and if you're smart; you never date one. Go ahead and give them the beef injection during the shoot if that's your thing, but they're damaged goods and you get damaged in the process. I know. I dated several until I wised up and I'll never do it again. You want a serious relationship? Find a girl that isn't in this business. Owen Wilson should have just taken it on the chin, man up and walk away. Instead, he decides, "My life sucks. I don't have the girl I want or can't find the right one. I'm a millionaire loser. Where's my drugs?" The late, great Robert Ryan when he retired, visited orphanages and children's hospitals every day until he died. Now, that's a man. Owen Wilson isn't. He can't stand up for himself. Take it on the chin, Wilson and move on. "Feel sorry for me...boo hoo hoo." Hey, Owen, if you feel so bad, I'll feel sorry for you. Why don't you send me a few hundred thousand. That'll help your conscience. Make you feel better too.

When I first saw this, i knew I liked it, but i wasn't in love with it the way i was with Rushmore. Then, a few years later, when flying home from a trip to Russia, Tennenbaums was one of the in-flight movies. During that trip home, I watched Tennenbaums three or four times, and every time i watched it, its like it opened itself up to me more and more. Now I consider it to be just as good as Rushmore. I'm kind of going through the same process right now with "The Life Aquatic", which I do admire, but haven't fallen head over heals in love with yet.
Maxwell has perfectly described Anderson's appeal.

His films are always better on repeat viewing. It took me a few tries to get into The Life Aquatic but once I did I fell in love with that film. I enjoy all his movies, and while I like some more than others, they have always gotten better over time, even if I was ecstatic about the film in the first place.

I had no idea DeVry had a film program. Congratulations on your upcoming career as a grip for 'Reba'. And you're right, Rushmore and Boogie Nights were done 10 years ago. But they'd be just as enjoyable today. That's called being timeless. Something I can't say about 98% of films or filmmakers. And, if I were you, I'd watch Darjeeling Limited and There Will Be Blood before I crawled too far up my own ass.

I thought it was Memories-of-Murder. I stand corrected. Here's the thing, Captain Justice: This is a movie website. Everyone here knows something about movies. And everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether you agree with it or not. So coming on here and saying that your went to a couple film classes at your local community college and, therefore, your opinion is right and everyone else's is wrong, well, that's a real quick way to get yourself branded a douche. Yes, you. Not me. Because, last I checked, I'm not the one who smells like vinegar and water.

Actually, everything you type amuses me. But what amuses me the most is that, ostensibly, you're in the same business as the Andersons. I mean, it's one thing for some random schlub to come on here and make a blanket "they suck" comment. But because you're in the "film industry" you're basically implying that you could do better. Yep, just as soon as you finish your shift as Frankie Muniz's assistant on the set of Cody Banks 2, you're gonna go home and write a better screenplay than Rushmore. That's what you're gonna do.

I mean, that really got out of hand fast. Looking back in the harsh light of day, well, frankly I’m embarrassed. It was all rather unseemly. As for you, Captain Justice: I wish all your posts were as cohesive and thought-out as your last one. I actually agree with some of it. Unfortunately, you didn’t start out that way. You came off as elitist. As if your opinion had more merit for the simple fact that you went to film school once. And I quote: "I know quite a bit about "film" (like only douchebags use the word "film" exclusively). Got the useless paperwork to prove it too!". But here’s the thing, as a film student, do you really think directors like Wes and PT Anderson are the enemy? As opposed to, say, Tim Story. Why attack directors with a distinctive style? Yes, Wes Anderson may have veered into self-parody with Life Aquatic. I agree. But Pt Anderson? How many directors would have the balls to include a biblical plague in their film? Was it pretentious? Maybe. But it was also the mark of a director supremely confident in his abilities. As for your constant harping on 1998, to me, it doesn’t matter what year a film comes out. Because the great ones (of which I include Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Boogie Nights, Magnolia and half of Punch Drunk Love) could come out today and be every bit as relevant. They’re timeless. Much like this talkback.
P.T. Anderson sucks!

I'd have to see it again. I just remember it starting somewhat slowly before really kicking into gear. Overall, it didn't resonate with me the way Boogie Nights and Magnolia did. Then again, it didn't set out to be as grand in scope. But hey, it was fun to see what PT Anderson could do with a genre like "romantic comedy".
One thing I meant to ask Captain Justice
by Garbageman33
Sep 27th, 2007
12:19:32 PM
If PT Anderson is such a hack director, how does he attract such incredible talent? I mean, Daniel Day Lewis hasn't done a movie in years. And yet, there he is in There Will Be Blood. Tom Cruise begged for the role in Magnolia even though he'd never done anything like it before. He was smart enough to know that someone like PT Anderson could change the way people thought of him. And it worked. At least until Tom went crazy and started jumping on couches and challenging morning talk show hosts.
Hmm, you're actually starting to make sense...
by Garbageman33
Sep 27th, 2007
02:19:53 PM
I agree with you that Wes Anderson has squandered some of his remarkable gift by continuing to go back to the same well. But I think PT Anderson continues to reinvent himself with each new movie. Magnolia was nothing like Boogie Nights. As for me asking you to prove yourself worthy of an opinion, I say, show me the post. Because unless I blacked out and some evil force took over my typing hand, that's something I'd never do. Oh, and there's a difference between Ben Kingsley doing a Uwe Boll movie and Tom Cruise begging to be in a PT Anderson film. Ben was clearly just in it for the paycheck. Which would explain why every review I read said that Gandhi totally mailed in his "performance". Compare that to Cruise who put away all his movie star tics and delivered a career best performance for PT.
The DeVry joke was after you spouted your "credentials"
by Garbageman33
Sep 27th, 2007
02:59:25 PM
And I continue to be baffled by your distaste for PT Anderson. He makes a nearly 3-hour endurance test of a movie that, nonetheless, has an 86% rating on rottentomatoes.com and gets Tom Cruise his first award consideration and, yet, you claim he "fucked it up".

I loved Election (I and II). No Country for Old Men was breathtaking. Nolan is fantastic, of course. Not sure how Roger Avary and Tony Kaye got included in that esteemed company, though. Roger Avary writes great dialogue, obviously (as Tarantino's movies since Pulp Fiction clearly show). But Killing Zoe and The Rules of Attraction aren't gonna make anyone forget Reservoir Dogs.

I simply meant that you don't seem to trust anyone else's opinion. Truth is, I'm not a huge fan of rottentomatoes.com myself. But I do have a couple critics (especially Scott Tobias from the Onion) who seem to share my views. See, here's the thing, there's really no way of quantifying whether or not a movie is good. It either works for you or it doesn't. So we're going around and around arguing about whether or not movies (and directors) are good when, in the end, there's no way of telling. It's all up to the individual to decide for himself.
Yeah, Lake of Fire got amazing reviews

When it played in Toronto last year. Who but Tony Kaye would do a three-hour abortion documentary? It's like a giant "fuck you" to Hollywood. Ironically, I have friends who've shot commercials with him. Really bad commercials. Foster Farms, to be exact. Apparently, he had quite the cocaine addiction, lost all his money and had to do the cinematic equivalent of giving blowjobs in dark alleys (i.e. directing commercials) to get back on his feet. But I think it humbled him and, if Lake of Fire is any indication, made him a better filmmaker.
When/Where did you see it?

The pro-life people in that clip are so scary, you'd think the film skewed the other way. But, by all acounts, it's incredibly balanced.

For mortal enemies, we seem to have a lot in common. I go up to Toronto every year. In fact, they printed my synopsis from this year's fest. http://www.aintitcool.com/node /34124

I actually enjoyed Ounch Drunk Love far more then Boogie Nights. Relatability, I suppose.
