Oh god I'm looking forward to this now. Please be better than Darjeeling (and Zizou too, kinda) !!

Wes Anderson hasn't really made a decent film sine The Royal Tenenbaums, which is now 11 years ago! Hopefully this will be a return to form. When his movies are good, they're very good, but his output is pretty uneven.

Really? I'll admit that I'm pretty much alone in thinking that The Life Aquatic is a masterpiece (it's my favourite of Anderson's films), but The Darjeeling Limited was pretty well regarded and quite enjoyable, and Fantastic Mr. Fox was absolutely delightful. You didn't even like that one?


No, you are NOT alone!!! There are a handful of films that I will watch on a pretty regular basis and Life Aquatic is one of them. It's everything from hilarious awkwardness, to the settings, the sets, the odd dialog, the Portuguese Bowie covers, Bill Murray in general, the MILF quality of Anjelica Houston, and Michael Gambon's small part is just PERFECT. PERFECT I TELL YOU.

Esteban!! Esteban!! Esteban!!

I enjoyed Fox and it was better than either Darjeeling or Zissou. Whereas I saw Darjeeling in the cinema, and then entirely forgot it existed within a week, there was something about Zissou that stayed with me even though Tannenbaums and Rushmore are head and shoulders above it. (Rushmore is my favourite btw)

"made popular by Nico of Velvet Underground" wtf? I didn't even know that version existed. Jackson Browne's own is my favorite.


yeah, it was made popular through its use in a movie.. The Royal Tenenbaums I think? But same here, I like the original version best. TMOE did a pretty good job here though.

You're so welcome. The original is probably my favourite moment in cinema

I totally thought this film was a dark comedy


It is, but my point is that the trailer made it out to be some happy-go-lucky fun fun fun whacky sort of film which I ended up going to see with my Aunt and Uncle and it ends up being about suicide and incest.... yeah... fucking wonderful family entertainment.

Case in point... here's the trailer... to which I say FUCK YOU.

http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Royal-Tenenbaums-Trailer

If you get around to watching it, lemme know what'cha think. You may get a kick out of Jullianne Moore's role.

Sam Rockwell is the shit! Anyone that plays Zaphod Beeblebrox is cool in my book. Though my favorite role of his has gotta be Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind -- Love that movie sooo much. Which brings to mind a genius writer (Charlie Kaufman) and an actor/director who is both over and underrated: George Clooney. I love half of his work (inevitably the underrated stuff) and the other half I could do without.

Diane Keaton, Nicholas Cage, Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, etc. etc. Don't do it for me either. Though Cage Occasionally gets it right. (Or maybe it's the writers.) Mel, Mel, Mel -- what scares me about him is that his true personality may be Martin Riggs, but with a touch of the religious zealot. Definitely not a good combination. I would be careful not to harm his dog.

Favorite actors... Oh my, where to begin. So many decades of cinema to recall! To avoid a carbon copy of your list -- all noteworthy thesbians -- I'll fill in some of the missing pieces: The Marx Brothers (I love them all equally), Hepburn's flame, Spencer Tracy, the other Hepburn, Audrey (mostly because of those eyes), Cary Grant, Humprey Bogart (Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon are films that I can watch from any point and be satisfied completely for every second the films goes by), Lauren Bacall (Ze Big Sleep; dear lordy, more top ten material), Clark Gable, Gary Oldman (You said it, but he's too good and far too underappreciated to not mention), Helena Bonham Carter (another one I CANNOT avoid mentioning -- a dark favorite of mine: Morgan le Fay, Elizabeth Frankenstein, Ophelia, Anne Boleyn -- dear GOD, she's a even a freakin' death eater. She has to be a reader.), Elliot Gould (More noir favorites), Michael Gambon (brilliant), Alan Rickman, Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Brad Pitt, lil' Dakota Fanning, Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, and Dennis Hopper -- I think that's the cast of Blue Velvet, another potential top ten movie with top ten actors lol. Maybe we should make lists of the people we DON'T like... on second thought... (Sorry, this got long.)

Yes! Mothersbaugh, of course. Wes Anderson's pocket composer and devolution advocate. Don't forget Sigur Ros, either. That's the part of the movie where yer supposed to cry. I heart those Icelanders. A Bowie fan too. David Bowie is my best friend's father.

Make up a top 5 real quick. (No pressure.)

In reply to this comment by thepinky:
You're right. I have about 15 or so that are floating around in my favorites list. My top movies are not neccesarily the best ones I've seen. Like you said, they are the ones that I have an emotional connection to.

Wes Anderson is awesome but I haven't seen all of his films yet. My favorite so far is also The Life Aquatic. I love those covers. The Mark Mothersbaugh numbers are awesome, too. The scene where Steve introduces his boat and crew, accompanied by Mothersbaugh's "Let Me Tell You About My Boat" is one of my favorite scenes. I also really liked The Royal Tenenbaums.

Oh, underappreciated and overrated actors. It is relatively easy for me to rattle off some of my favorite actors. Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Ingrid Bergman are definitely in the top 5. Other actors I love off of the top of my head: Gary Oldman, Anjelica Huston, Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn, Bruce Willis (most people love him for the wrong reasons), Bill Murray, Charlie Chaplin, Helena Bonham Carter (I love how much her older stuff contrasts with her more recent roles. She's great.), John Goodman (I have always had a thing for this guy. He is a pleasure to watch.), James Stewart, Topol (I've only seen him in Fiddler but it is one of my favorite performances EVAR), Henry Fonda, Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Oliver Reed. This list was about 5 times as long before I cut it down. You're welcome.

I'm sure you're the same way that I am with actors. Sometimes I love them because they are truly great actors and sometimes I love them because they are good actors and you just enjoy watching them for whatever reason. I admit that one of the reasons that I love Newman, Brando, and Bergman is because they are all incredibly sexy. They also happen to be exceptional actors. Who are your favorites?

Severely overrated: Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton (used to be okay, now I can't stand her), Nicolas Cage (liked him in Matchstick Men...which reminds me that I love Sam Rockwell), Keira Knightly, and there is something about Mel Gibson's acting that seems...is it insincere? Affected? All I know is that something is off with him and I'm not a fan.

I'll rent The Big Lebowski one of these days.
