Re: the darjeeling limited - a wes anderson film
The Life Aquatic is probably my favorite all time movie. I think it perfectly sums up everything about my brain.

Re: the darjeeling limited - a wes anderson film
When I first saw it, I thought it was mildly disappointing. I felt Steve was dislikable enough for it to be an obstacle to my enjoyment.
However, I love it more and more every time I watch it. Once I wasn't fighting my expectations, I found it pretty much perfect. The dialogue is incredible. (Intern: This is BULLSHIT!) (Steve: Do the interns get glocks? Topless girl: They share one.)

Re: the darjeeling limited - a wes anderson film
I had high hopes for it and usually try a great deal to temper those hopes prior to seeing a film, but with the Life Aquatic and repeat viewings I've found more that I like, but it just doesn't coalesce in the same way that Tenenbaums and Rushmore did so beautifully. At times it also felt just 'too fucking too', like weird for the sake of being weird, or this kind of hodgepodge, piecemeal of ideas that were just thrown up on screen with very little thought or consideration other, they're cool.
There are wonderful bits of dialog throughout, like when Steve first talks to Ned and he has to go smoke a joint and returns stating simply, 'Sorry about that. You caught me with one foot off the merry-go-round tonight.' |

How can a train be lost? ...I think i already like it .. that was so you rock, rock.. Jason Schwartz is fantastic always.
this cast feels almost too Down by Law type! And about the acuatic thing.. i drink campari now. just because Steve Zissou does he. you gotta love Team Zissou.

Re: the darjeeling limited - a wes anderson film
I've never been quite able to shake my fixation towards bourbon and scotch from good ol' Deckard in Blade Runner. I'm more of a Jim Beam guy than a Johhny Walker Black though.
But I also really like the taste of a fine bourbon so it's a nice coincidence. Last edited by grady; 07-24-2007 at 03:42 PM. |
