Ah, okay then - that's why the previews reminded me so
strongly of the Tenenbaums. It goes on my to-see list.

I thought the trailer looked a bit mediocre, but I'll still
be going to see it cause it's Bill fucking Murray

the trailors for Royal Tennenbaums and Rushmore were better
than the preview for Life Aquatic but i am still itchin to
see it.

wes anderson is also going to direct a stop motion film
based on Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr. Fox
for which i am also excited!

I saw it already. It's my second favorite film of his now
after Rushmore. Totally enjoyable.

I saw this movie this weekend.
I absolutely loved it. It is, once again very much like a
typical wes anderson film. silly, innocent and with quirky
characters. But it is not a total re-hashing of his
previous films.

for example, LIfe Aquatic has nudity, violence, death,
claymation, pirates..etc. it is much more heartwrenching
than any of his movies, but not in a forced or sappy way.

it is also much more ambitious, in my opinion, than even
Royal Tennenbaums. in budget and scale as well as
emotionally.

anyway, i loved it. it was much better than i was
expecting. better than his previous movies though? it's
too early to say yet. i'll have to watch it a bunch more
times but i suspect, like his other films, it will grow on
me with each viewing!

Awesome movie. The live action backgrounds and visuals were
amazing, the overall atmosphere was very nostalgic feeling.


*spoiler*
one of the funniest parts is where hes shooting at pirates
in a speedo and a robe.

I totally fell in love with the huge cutaway set of the
Belafonte wiht the dolphins swimming under it!

for this reason alone it is worth seeing this one in the
theatre on the big screen!

yeah that was one of the best parts. just the overall
atmosphere of the whole movie is excellent.
I got all emotional when his 'son' died... :o
"what? what the hell is this? am I gonna tear up? no,
must... hold back... tears.."

oh my - this (excerpt from a) review just made my genitalia
shrivel up and drop off:

"Wes Anderson's vanity project finds him regressing from
the perceptive dissertation on American families that was
"The Royal Tenenbaums" to the arch callowness of its
precursor "Rushmore" and the result is a slight,
intermittently amusing picture that dares you to get it but
smugly predicts you won't."

how can a movie predict that the viewer won't "get it"?
sounds like more bullshit rhetoric from an amateur reviewer
who doesn't really know why he didn't like a film. i'm sure
this reviewer then went on to argue that there is "nothing
to get." there's thousands of similar reviews all over
amazon.

i liked this movie a lot...

the use of words typically paints a picture of an inept
reviewer.

this one is on IMdb, btw.

yeah, i didn't mean to imply i thought the review was from
imdb, it just brought to mind so many reviews from amazon.

the commercial critics have been pretty savage, as well.

was this film supposed to be the third in a trilogy?

I've just checked Rotten Tomatoes, and scanning the rotten
reviews to the 'fresh' reviews, I'd say the fresh reviewers
have it! I'm looking forward to seeing this !

your horoscope:

a movie that you will like is made to seem unappealing by an
incompetent and shallow reviewer.

a movie that you will not like is made to seem appealing by
an articulate and thoughtful reviewer.

you will go see "the life aquatic" and come out saying "i
rather liked that" in your native tongue.

"Rushmore" is one of my favourite films of all time.

I was disappointed in "The Royal Tenenbaums" though - it
felt like more of the same, but more forced.

so I'm kind of weary of this new venture. I'll go and see it
ofcourse, hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

"life aquatic" is most certainly more of the same...

i didn't think "royal tenenbaums" felt "forced" at all, any
more than "the mixed up files of mrs. basil e. frankweiler."
