Gene Hackman really got to show what an amazing actor he
really is.
He often get boring parts but this one whas perfect.

writer character a lot too.

Well I was very disappointed, I expected something funnier
and with not such a "hipper than though" jokes that are
usually spewed by the intellectual down at the coffeehouse
that only attends play because hollywood is so corporate,
but maybe i am reading into it too much. I did think gene
hackman did a much better job than anyone else in that
movie, so its woth seeing just for that. But the rest just
seemed too predictable and lacked development of the
individual characters.

Haven´t seen TRT (and I don´t want to), though the
previews I´seen sounded quite interesting.
Nevertheless I´m waiting for the best movie of this year
(still 55 days as I remember). Wouldn´t you agree with me
"Sido-Dyas" (back from your trip to Kamino heh?)

sido: i loved it. it was the most flawless movie i've ever
seen. the only problem (and i do mean only) i had with it
was the cheap laugh it went for when danny glover

SPOILER SPOILER!

falls down that hole (and that's hardly a spoiler)

END SPOILER!

(i've always wanted to do that.) i loved it, all the subtle
dialogue, and looks. just beautiful

Gene Hackman is one of the most brilliant actors around.
every film i see him in i am amazed.....i loved his cowboy
in the unforgiven....mean to the core....no mercy. he is so
unique. and he lives in my state..........*feels lucky*

Yes he is an amazing actor.

Yeah he really is a mean bastard in that movie.
I bet he's a nice guy in reall life though.
I always have more respect for the non plastic enchanced
looking actors if you know what i mean.
Damn!! now i wanna see The Unforgiven again.

Fantastic movie!

It has some great scenes, great characters. It gets better
everytime I watch it. The scene where he's telling his wife
he has cancer is nearly Kubrikian..

Didn't really like it. Average I'd say. Does repeated views
help? I might end up watching it again some day.

Rushmore was cool, freaky, but cool.

I think i prefered The Royal Tenenbaums though.... even
though bill was in rushmore.

The trivia on IMDB for The Royal Tenenbaums is pretty good.
check it out

I think it would be a pretty hard one to dislike. It is one
of those movies that you can probably base liking or
diliking someone off of. People who don't like it just have
problems. As simple as that.

it's okay.

I think "Rushmore" is much better.

it's like Anderson wants a kind of absurdness in his
characters - in Rushmore this seemed to work and I cared
about the characters (in other words they were believable).
In The Royal Tenenbaums it feels like he's trying to repeat
the formula only this time it doesn't work as well - I just
didn't take to the characters as much.

Bill Murray is fantastic in Rushmore, really excellent.

i saw rt in the cinema on christmas day, the only time i can
remember the audience spontaneously applauding a film when
the end credits came up. some who disliked the film seemed
turned off by the fact that it's not a comedy, strictly
speaking (though both rt and rushmore were inaccurately
marketed as comedies). it's drama with comedic touches.
also, it's the filmic presentation of a fictional book
presumably intended for or written by children, hence the
references to children's literature (the mixed up files of
*can't remember the name, frankenweiler?) and the strange
combination of childlike simplicity and stunted development
with adult situations and relationship complications. at
the very least, i think it's utterly unique, and wes
anderson's most complete vision (of his three films).
