the Darjeeling Limited?
no threads yet? it was pretty good. although I suppose it's just in limited release right now. jason schwartzman looks good with a moustache. also, adrien brody is extremely lovable. I cried.

Re: the Darjeeling Limited?
I also like Wes. I got a real kick out of Bottle Rocket and The Royal Tenenbaums. My wife did not get either film and thought they were just plain weird. I like weird. I just wonder how most people view his films. I know they are not box office hits and that must hurt his rep with the studios. I mean people would rather go see The Game Plan than Eastern Promises or a dark comedy.....but most people are pedestrian and I willl not yield.

Re: the Darjeeling Limited?
Oh, funny, I just saw this last Thursday. It hasn't been released yet here in England; I saw it as part of that movie-preview-marketing-survey-group-thingie I'm in. I really liked it, it's exactly my type of film. I thought all of the performances were really strong. Could have picked up the pace slightly; it did lag just a touch in parts, but that is my only real criticism. Very visual - if I hadn't seen it in a theatre, I'd have probably thought it was a film that could just as well be seen on the small screen, but actually, I would have been wrong - although the story would be fine and it would still be enjoyable, there's quite a lot of small visual details that probably would not have the same impact, plus the intensity of the landscapes and urban scenes. Good film, if you like films where people actually talk to eachother, and nothing blows up.

Re: the Darjeeling Limited?
yeah, it would be okay on the small screen, but the big screen really shows all the details. the close ups are so close and crisp, yet the people look so good...but real and not made up.
it was fun to see with my boyfriend because we are both super observant nerds who notice tiny details like the ticket holders in the train car. I think we were so busy looking at everything that the slow parts didn't matter. we're the perfect audience. also, I've sat through a lot of "arty" films that are slow as molasses, so even though wes anderson may seem arty and weird to the mainstream...he's pretty accessible, me thinks. or maybe I'm just out of touch with middle america. meh, my mom loved Rushmore and she's a dork. maybe she's cooler than I think. |

Re: the Darjeeling Limited?
Actually, I would say the casting of Bill Murray is, in a way, odd. But I can't explain the way in which it's odd without giving something away. So I won't explain.

Re: the Darjeeling Limited?
oh, and Dipak (deepak) is his son's name
who was also in most of the other wes anderson movies, plus the darjeeling Its Kumar Pallana you are thinking of, and he is in darjeeling, but not a very big role. apparently they are both old friends of the wilsons because he owned some yoga cafe or something and thats how they met. and apparently he used to be a famous plate spinning performer with the rat pack back in the day.

Re: the Darjeeling Limited?
yeah, dont confuse Mr Littlejeans with his son, the teacher in Rushmore "including my mentor Dr. Leaky at MIT"
also, dipak, the young one, is the bookstore employee in Bottle Rocket- "who Robbie? he might be in Literature" and in Tenenbaums, dad is Pagoda and son plays a doctor...

Re: the Darjeeling Limited?
I thought this was his worst film yet. His style has become too predictable but the worst thing was that I didn't care about the characters.
If there was one more scene in slow motion with some indie song playing in the background I was gonna go nuts. Still better than most of the other stuff out there, but not up to his standards. |

Re: the Darjeeling Limited?
I thought he got too creative with it. I mean I give him porps for shooting his own screenplay again and taking risks with his uber-quirky characters but man it was a little boring.
Wes has got a great eye, and he needs to start shooting other peoples scripts. |

Re: the Darjeeling Limited?
wilson brothers sidebar, I watched the Wendell Baker Story this weekend
and it was a fucking horrible mess though the movie soundtrack was fucking unbelievable and I tried looking for it online but I couldnt find it. I think it has an unreleased bob dylan track he wrote just for the movie on it even.
