The correct answer was "I try not to be."

I like john cusak because he has clash references in almost every one of his movies

4/28/2006 3:27:13 PM

^^But that'd be lying. Girls are naturally complicated.

Let's face it.

We were playing the Bottle Rocket quotes game

and you lost.

4/28/2006 3:44:20 PM

bob maplethorpe, potential getaway driver, GO!

well, I thinks there's a real air of mystery about me...

4/28/2006 3:52:34 PM

^^I know, I'm terrible. But in my defense, I haven't seen Bottle Rocket in a long time.

4/28/2006 4:51:21 PM

That commercial, Royal Tennebaums, and The Life Aquatic all suck.

4/28/2006 4:55:29 PM

4/28/2006 5:02:36 PM

The Royal Tenenbaums is one of, if not the, best films of all time.

4/28/2006 5:04:15 PM

I totally cry at the part with the hair. Nearly every time. God I love that movie.

4/28/2006 5:16:10 PM

You know what I love most in my comedies?

Suicide.

They slit and I laugh and laugh and laugh.

4/28/2006 5:29:08 PM

^^ I would say that, too, except that would mean I was a total gaywad.

4/28/2006 5:30:44 PM

You already use iTunes, so you don't have much to lose.

4/28/2006 5:34:46 PM

I just don't understand where the comedy is.

"Here's a bunch of characters we think are majorly quirky. Watch as they interact with each other and everyone else!"

4/28/2006 6:40:56 PM

stein, your communication with this thread must stop.

4/28/2006 6:43:59 PM

Sorry to break up your circlejerk.

Communication is kind of what I do though.

You're like those people who didn't like Sports Night because it wasn't a sit-com.

4/28/2006 6:48:47 PM

I own the Sports Night box set, actually.

I would, too. But only because Sabrina Lloyd is a cutie. And she's in Sliders.

jon, leave him alone. he owns the sports night box set. actually.
communication is kind of what you do? stating your opinions as absolutes without explication and only with smarm for reason isn't good communication, buuuudy. holla at yr professor.

4/28/2006 6:57:32 PM

Ordnance Tactics is hands down the best episode of the series.

It also clocks in at about a million times funnier than The Life Aquatic.

I thought that was the kind of subtle, not-actually-that-funny humor that Wes Anderson fans ate up?

true story

my friend had just set up a projector at his parents, so a couple of us went over to watch life aquatic, and his dad wanted to watch as well

so about 25 minutes in, his dad just gets up and walks out

he later told us his dad left because we kept laughing and he didn't really notice anything to laugh about

4/28/2006 7:26:17 PM

There are a lot of funny things in Life Aquatic.

There are also two GIGANTIC plot/character holes.

It doesn't work as a narrative film, but there are so many good tidbits, I greatly enjoy watching it.

4/28/2006 7:37:40 PM

Who the shit is Kingsley Zissou?

4/28/2006 7:39:27 PM

i'm debating between life aquatic and the royals tonight

4/28/2006 10:05:15 PM

"son of a bitch i'm sick of these dolphins"

4/29/2006 11:47:59 AM

My favorite line from The Royal Tenenbaums: "It wasn't worth it."

5/1/2006 11:48:07 AM

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to watch Tenenbaums tonight.

"You son of a bitch!"[/qumar]

5/1/2006 12:09:40 PM

happy birthday wes

5/1/2006 12:24:56 PM

^^ I just tried to find my copy, and I realized I left it back at home.

I was going to do the same thing.

5/1/2006 12:33:02 PM

IT'S WES ANDERSON'S BIRTHDAY.

THIS REQUIRES CAPS LOCK.

I didn't watch Tenenbaums yet. Maybe I'll do it tonight in honor of Mssr. Anderson.

More like CAPS.

5/1/2006 6:29:18 PM

I didn't cry this time! That's probably a good thing, unless I've suddenly turned into a frigid bitch.

5/2/2006 1:21:41 AM

id like to note i liked tenenbaums alright, but TLA just didnt work for me on the whole. is that odd?

5/2/2006 9:53:51 AM

Son of a bitch! Anthony! Anthony! Bob's gone. He stole his car! He flew the coop while we were sleepin'!

5/2/2006 10:16:27 AM

^^ That's not unusual, no.

5/2/2006 10:42:55 AM

i actually didn't really like the life aquatic the first time i saw it.

then the second time i saw it, i thought it was hilarious.

i think i went into it the first time expecting something different, then being disappointed.

5/2/2006 10:49:57 AM

I felt like most of the movie was pretty good but the ending really got me. IMO one of the best endings of a movie ever.

5/2/2006 10:58:07 AM

i was about to quote the stomach stabbing line

but i was afraid i'd get it wrong

so i typed this instead

5/2/2006 10:58:59 AM

Wes knows how to end a movie.

5/2/2006 11:26:03 AM

5/2/2006 11:46:29 AM

They'll never catch me.

Because I'm fucking innocent.

5/2/2006 11:54:49 AM

on the run from johnny law...ain't no trip to cleveland

5/2/2006 1:40:38 PM

I've said it a number of times, and I'll say it again: Rushmore is the best ambiguous ending of all time.
