Wes Anderson

The world - and thus by proxy this forum - is divided into two camps: Those who appreciate the work of Wes Anderson and people who can't even wipe there asses properly.

Which is to say that the preview for The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is online and - hey guess what - it looks like gold.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - linky

I agree, I loved all of his films. I can't wait for his new one.

I've wanted to rent "Rushmore", but I'd have to conquer my disgust for Murray.

Em...

Ghostbusters?
Groundhog Day?
Where the Buffalo Roam ?
Scrooged?
Ed Wood?
Mad Dog and Glory?

Not even counting The Royal Tenenbaums* and Lost in Translation... hes one of the USA's fine old tradition of character/comedy actors, why the disgust?

*RENT!!!!

"Osmosis Jones", "Garfield", coupled with his "indirect" pretentious whining about his Oscar snub, for "Lost in Translation".

..and I don't think he's been funny since, oh, say, "Kingpin".

Hey - Osmosis Jones is ok... well the animated segments are... Yeah I know the Bill M can be a little up his own ass - but for me - personally - being as how I spend a great deal of my time up my own ass, i dont mind that so much.

Just bumping to say there are some pretty cool images and clips on Yahoo movies... I think this looks pretty good, and Murray is great, period.

I think that link should work...

Bah. Murray is washed up, and the trailer I saw looked Kaufman-esque.

Well, I guess I just like Anderson, so I am looking forward to it. Did you not like Lost in Translation? I think Murray still has it in him. Regardless though, Willam Defoe or however he spells it looks hilarious in this one..

Wes Anderson is currently making the best, most original movies in Hollywood.

Bottle Rocket - good.
Rushmore - Excellent.
The Royal Tenebaums - Excellent.

I can only hope 'The Life Aquatic' continues this trend.

"Royal Tenenbaums" was style over substance, IMO. I grew really tired of the self loathing after, oh, say, 30 minutes?

Ahhh...but did you not appreciate the irony of the self-loathing? For me, the fact that the narcissim was ironic made it charming and ultimately lovable.

It took you 30?
After 15 I was seriously contemplating walking out of the theater.

My 3 worst movies ever:

1)Blankman
2)The Royal T.....s
3)Anchorman

In reference to numbers 2 and 3...there's no accounting for taste.

Irony is only effective when it's ironic, if you catch my meaning. When it's *shared*, it loses its appeal. yes

I appreciate the cinematography and approach, but I was literally saddened by the Tenenbaums. "Bottle Rocket" was quirky fun, and I was going to rent "Rushmore", but keep forgetting.
