I was there y'all! Murray was super fricken funny! Also, Clooney, with whole "adopting Brad Pitt's kids" thing. Plus, Jason Schwartzman has the shiniest hair known to mankind, fact fans!

I think Matty has at least one more Bourne in him if they can come up with a decent post-Ultimatum script. Agree that Pine is tasty boy, but not bournable or even clancyesque. Anyway, who the hell wants to see Tom Clancy's tired old shit (again)--that well is drier than the vodka martini in my non-typing hand. Why not explore le Carre's or Michael Connelly's extensive oeuvre a bit more?

@Tattertotter: Maybe Chris Pine is just starring in a Tom Clancy video game.

Chris Pine is tasty, but I can't see him as Ryan. Looks too boyish. Now Jon Hamm....

How much you wanna bet they want Pine to be the next Bourne? So effectively Affleck fails twice.

Except that Cougar Town is a big hit for ABC (and better than it had any right to be) so it makes sense they think they can do it again.

Humbug!

Anderson has never been about superficial hipsterism. He invented this aesthetic (okay, he kind of cribbed it from multiple sources) and he's allowed to run with it for as long as he likes. It's not his fault that he managed to define what American indie films are apparently supposed to look, sound and feel like for a whole decade's worth of imitators and hacks.

Life Aquatic is f'ing great! Very re watchable and probably my second favourite of his after Rushmore. Darjeeling was the first time I've found his brand of melancholy to be genuinely depressing as opposed to uplifting so I don't go back to it much, but it's a very solid film.

Cut the man some slack. You don't blame the Beatles for the Monkeys, so why blame Wes Anderson for the tripe that's followed him? Smug hipsterism my ass.

@Benny: She wasn't blaming Wes Anderson for the tripe that other directors have made. She's blaming him for the tripe that he's made.

Ugh, Mr. Fox reminds me of the fox that sang an ode to sodomy in Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles."

Zissou improves immeasurably on subsequent viewings.

The jokes are just so unexpected and deadpan the first time around, I missed about half of them.

@skahammer: Agreed. I still get sad thinking of the dog running along the shore. I'm a sucker for Anderson's poignant moment. The little boy's death in Darjeeling was kind of lovely in a way, too.

@skahammer: Thirded, Zissou is massively over-hated. I get tingly during the Jaguar shark bit. Plus, there's a lot more A-game Baumbach going down in that movie than anyone knew to look for. The same way Rushmore doesn't work until you get over the fact that Max is a little bit of a creep and an asshole, Zissou doesn't really work until you accept that everyone is 11 inside.

@Motoko Kusanagi: I liked Darjeeling Limited a lot. Not a masterpiece but more like a familiar bed time story.

Agree with the Life Aquatic statement. Former flatmates watched it constantly and it got better each time around.

@skahammer: I actually liked Zissou on the first viewing, and still have a great fondness for it. I think I just gave up on Wes Anderson after Darjeeling. It's not that Darjeeling is a bad movie, because it isn't. It looks great, just like all his movies, and it's pretty entertaining. But I'm really, really sick of seeing the same old plot again and again: there's a family (or family-type unit) whose members are terribly dysfunctional ... through a series of events, this dysfunction drives them apart, but then some supremely meaningful event occurs which forces the dysfunctional family members to confront the reality that they are, indeed, family and that they should stick together.

Wes Anderson is not a bad director. I've just seen the same movie plot too many times in a row, and I can't deal with it anymore.
