Loved Life Aquatic by T 1000 xp professional	Oct 8th, 2007 07:46:24 PM

Capone by benito	Oct 8th, 2007 11:55:16 PM
Dude... Capone. Proofread your articles. I'm not one to complain about this sort of stuff on a regular basis. But there are entire sentences in that thing that make absolutely no sense when taken literally. You even got the name of the damn movie wrong. Lots of people read this stuff. Set your standards high... or you know... at eye level.
The India Aspect... by Abhimanyu	Oct 9th, 2007 12:59:49 AM
Capone, how does Anderson handle India? From the trailers, the scenes in which they are apparently helping villagers during a flood seemed a bit much. I mean, I understand this is all a Renoir/Ray homage as well, but is the rural exotic-isation something that is a main feature of this story?
Hey, I'm Wes Anderson, look at my symmetrical framing! by Dannychico	Oct 9th, 2007 01:06:53 AM
There's something so artificial about Anderson's movies. But Capone is right, Darjeeling comes closest to capturing something real emotionally.
I don't get it! by TheHorror	Oct 9th, 2007 04:02:58 AM
Bottle Rocket & The Life Aquatic were the only 2 films of hi I laughed to. His style with kooky framing & short dialogue is all well and good but if I don'yt laugh then I don't get it.
It's pretty good. by Shoegeezer	Oct 9th, 2007 04:49:25 AM
After seeing it I felt it was certainly enjoyable if a little slight, with a couple of fairly obvious moments. But, as with all his films, I found myself thinking about it quite a lot days afterwards, it kind of seeps in rather than deliving an immediate hit. Also, I usually can't stand Owen Wilson but he's great in this. Plus I loved Life Aquatic, how can anyone not like a film that inlcudes a blatant tribute to Buckaroo Banzai?
The Royal Tenenbaums remains my favourite. by Knuckleduster	Oct 9th, 2007 07:56:55 AM
Reminds me of home...
Worst Trailer EVER by FirstPostersSuck	Oct 9th, 2007 08:10:09 AM
I mean worst. "How can it be lost, it's on tracks" shoot me in the face.
Something artificial? by LORDRANDO	Oct 9th, 2007 09:49:28 AM
Since when is that a criticism? Its a fucking movie. Realism doesnt work for everything. You cats are just mad b/c Andersen won the dork lottery and gets to make movies. and you guys are stuck here to bitch about them. I think he should start mixing things up more...but hes still one of the best who has most of his work in front of him. I mean, anybody still waiting around for the new Harmony Korine picture?
Were you in the shit? by LORDRANDO	Oct 9th, 2007 09:50:24 AM
yeah, I was in the shit.
If Wes Anderson ever did a Sufjan Stevens video by Garbageman33	Oct 9th, 2007 10:31:36 AM
I think the world would implode from preciousness. What happened to the guy that made Bottle Rocket and Rushmore? Come back to us, Wes. We miss you.
This is easily Anderson's funniest film, and while watching it.. by rbatty024	Oct 9th, 2007 12:12:56 PM
I couldn't help but think it was one of his lesser movies. Although I realized afterwards, thinking about it over and over again, that it was really just the fact that the whole thing seemed completely effortless. The film floats along and is deceptively easy. Another great entry.
