LOOK AT THESE ASSHOLES!

i thought the movie was nice... not particularly funny, the painful humor just didn't seem to get beyond into the realm of funny...

yet, despite that, i'd probably watch it again... i wasn't really looking at it as a comedy and enjoyed it... my girlfriend however was cracking up at various times...

10/27/2007 1:34:53 PM

^^^Lemme clarify.. It wasn't too long.. but it was quite slow moving. I also felt it was quite repetitive at times (like the itinerary stuff). It could have been better since it had a very compelling story to tell in a unique setting.

I saw this last night at Galaxy. I loved it. the soundtrack was amazing. can we agree on that?

10/29/2007 11:14:40 AM

100%

10/29/2007 12:28:55 PM

Peter: No
Francis: It'd probably be annoying...

10/29/2007 10:16:43 PM

been dying to see this. should get my chance tomorrow afternoon

10/29/2007 11:27:28 PM

Loved it.

LOVED. IT.

So fucking charming, and the dynamic between the brothers was spot on from the first minute. I actually enjoyed the fact that it was less "Wes Anderson-y" than the other films...he didn't even use Futura Bold!

In other news, I like Hotel Chevalier more on the big screen because the first minute or so that Portman is on screen she does a ton of great, subtle face stuff that isn't really noticeable on my computer screen.

10/31/2007 12:49:44 AM

10/31/2007 1:11:01 AM

I found this movie decidedly so-so!

10/31/2007 11:43:51 AM

^^^agree with all of that

I know he used it, but he didn't use it in the typical fashion (AKA every fucking thing in the movie is Futura Bold).

Most of the stuff wasn't in english but the majority of what I saw that was in english was in Futura Bold.

I loved the movie and it makes me want to up and leave for India with my sisters. The soundtrack is amazing as well.

10/31/2007 6:30:43 PM

OMF @ Futura Bold.

That was the font Madstone used for all their materials. Wacky.

10/31/2007 9:22:40 PM

Add another LOVED IT.

I think I liked this more on first viewing than any other Wes Anderson film. For some reason they always hit me (hard) on the second viewing. Royal Tenenbaums is still my favorite (for now, at least), but this could very well be second.

11/2/2007 11:03:16 PM

Add another LOVED IT.

Saw it @ Brier Creek.

11/3/2007 11:48:35 PM

my goal in life is to one day bump in to wes anderson and just ask him, "why are you so perfect?"

agreed

I thought this movie was good... but sometimes I think Wes Anderson tries too hard to make smart movies

11/5/2007 12:33:09 AM

Finally saw it, and I really really liked it. The acting was top-notch, and there were several unexpected surprises. I love Wes Anderson's use of slow-motion

On a slightly negative note, did anyone else find the "baggage" metaphor at the end a bit heavy-handed?

11/25/2007 11:02:44 AM

i was happy to see a bit of Murray

11/25/2007 1:10:40 PM

^ yeah, that was definitely a surprise... I hadn't heard that before going in to see it

11/25/2007 1:15:42 PM

how long is it going to be at galaxy?

11/25/2007 2:24:38 PM

We should still have room for it next week, I think. I'll know for sure tomorrow.

11/25/2007 2:38:44 PM

ok cool. cuz it isnt playing down here in at the moment at our one decent theatre in greenville, sc and I still really wanna see this.

11/25/2007 2:44:00 PM

i wanna see it again

11/25/2007 3:12:16 PM

Just saw it, and thought it was awesome.
