If its as slushy as the royal thingies and life aquatic, I'm gonna hurl all over the popcorn counter. Life Aquatic was pretty great, but bits of it were disgustingly 'lets all hug' post therapy prozac gash. The other one even worse. I don't think I could watch another scene between wonky nose and that fuckin actress with the lame brit accent without losing my mind, and my lunch.

Looks like more of the same from Anderson. I understand that he has a style based around surreal reality which you either like or you dont and, although I did initially, its been ripped off so many times by advertising companies (usually pushing mobile phones) that i've grown to really dislike it unless the substance behind it is superb (which I dont think it was in Life Aquatic). This trailer makes the film come across as being toned down a bit in comparison to his previous works and I hope this is the case. I'm keen to see him do something that doesnt rely so heavily on stylization and 'quirkyness'.

Wow, I'd no idea there was a new Wes Anderson film in the offing - excellent, I really thought The Life Akwatic had superb substance, although I've heard talk to the contrary!

anderson has actually said this film is going to be more 'raw' than his other works. as it's co-written by schwartzman i can believe that. definitely looking forward to this film.

I just read in an IMDb thread that Bill Murray is making a cameo appearance as a German mechanic or something -- shame it's just a cameo as he's been fine in Anderson's previous three films.

i watched it last night and i'd say it's up there with his best work, which is basically everything except bottle rocket. anderson haterz won't find anything to like here.

I really, really hated it. Every scene which was supposed to amuse me just fell flat. All the "eccentricities" seemed trite and unendearing. The meandering pointlessness I could overlook if the aesthetic had any appeal to me, but it didn't.

no way it compares to tenenbaums (only other of his movies I've seen). That one had endearing, funny, characters, and at least some plausibility. Darjeeling couldn't tell if it was play-acting or really doing something. For instance whenever they'd play with the peacock feathers (or whatever bird it was), they'd also do some impromptu bullshit, and it was never funny. Or when brody got in a fake fight with his wife or the phone, shit that was not plausible. I'm not saying a story has to be plausible, of course not, but certainly I'd find it more engaging if the characters weren't impossible and inconsistent.

natalie portman was undoubtedly the worst part of the whole experience. i don't care for the hotel chevalier by itself but it does work really well in adding more of an emotional impact to some of the scenes in the main feature. i'll probably skip it when i watch the dvd.
