I've listnened to that French song about 78 times since watching that trailer

1/13/2012 3:23:10 AM

Weird that isn't in scope (or at least the trailer isn't). Looks good though.

Release Date: May 25th

yes.

5/1/2012 1:40:18 PM

Saw it tonight, definitely worth seeing. I didn't even know what it was (wife took me) and I was pleasantly surprised, great cast, great acting, pretty funny movie.

6/3/2012 12:11:25 AM

i thought the limited release was may 25 and the wider(er) release was June 1st. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Does anyone know when this will be released to more theaters? Or someplace in/around Raleigh?

6/3/2012 11:41:05 AM

I don't see it playing in any Raleigh theaters.

6/3/2012 12:58:33 PM

it should be at Galaxy in a couple weeks, or so I hear

this is a really apt description of this movie. it was awesome though. in my personal opinion, his best save rushmore.

6/9/2012 7:03:48 PM

I want to see this movie.

6/25/2012 11:15:53 AM

I loved this. Probably my third favorite after Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore.

6/25/2012 5:24:41 PM

Opens at Galaxy this Friday.

6/25/2012 5:30:49 PM

6/25/2012 10:01:45 PM

Rialto, Raleigh Grande and Carolina Theatre will all have it on Friday as well

[Edited on June 25, 2012 at 10:23 PM. Reason : but they don't have those Sweet Jane's cookies]

6/25/2012 10:23:03 PM

I guess you can find me at The Rialto on Friday, cookieless.

I'm there.

6/26/2012 1:51:38 AM

you can come see it at the Manor Twin in Charlotte all this week

6/26/2012 7:41:22 AM

I loved this film. Will post more tomorrow but I thought it was terrific!

6/27/2012 9:40:43 PM

It takes serious skill to make a good movie with child actors, let alone one that is a comedy.*








*I unfortunately just watched the first 10 minutes of the last airbender. That was the worst case scenario

6/27/2012 10:33:29 PM

yeah the kids were really good. especially the boy, that kid was so good.

6/27/2012 11:52:19 PM

i thought the kid actors were pretty bad

they didn't pass the weed test

I read somewhere that the main girl character had never acted outside of a school play before this movie. Pretty impressive.

6/28/2012 6:03:59 PM

Not gonna lie, I was completely infatuated with her.

Both the leads actually, so much of the charm was in their body language and expressions. It all felt so real.

6/28/2012 6:49:13 PM

Ruled. Only Schwartzman came close to overdoing it, and his character called for it.

6/29/2012 5:28:40 PM

cool, i'm excited about this.

6/29/2012 5:31:00 PM

Suzy was the exact same character as the young Margot Tenenbaum, right down to the eye shadow. Not that I'm complaining.

A+ would/will watch again.

6/29/2012 9:00:55 PM

I understood the lead boy for the most part, but I feel like I would have shared more laughs had I understood a few more of his lines.

Overall, it's up there with Life Aquatic as one of Wes Anderson's more light-hearted films.

[Edited on June 29, 2012 at 9:24 PM. Reason : more]

6/29/2012 9:23:22 PM

I wan to see this now! I like the Manor Twin. I would lIke to see it at the Gem Theater. I wonder if it's playing there.

6/29/2012 9:54:57 PM

My initial reaction is that I like this better than any Anderson movie other than Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic.

6/29/2012 11:52:10 PM

Solid, though I only truly judge Wes Anderson films after a few viewings

right now I feel like the lightning thing was unnecessary, although why I would find that goofier than anything in any of his other movies is beyond me

About where I'd put it: it's no Tenenbaums

6/30/2012 12:00:50 AM

Random thought: I really enjoyed the use of animation and miniatures.

6/30/2012 12:05:00 AM

loved it, especially the music

7/1/2012 3:37:33 PM

I am a very, very, very, very happy dude after seeing it

nothing hits me harder than a Wes Anderson film

am I the only one who didn't think this movie was light-hearted at all?

7/1/2012 9:51:15 PM

at no point did I even feel close to shedding a tear

which I cant say for any other wes anderson movie (except bottle rocket which I havent seen)

7/1/2012 9:53:02 PM

I got close when she popped her head into the chimney

7/1/2012 9:56:04 PM

closest moment for me was the very end when he waved to her in his police uniform, but compared to everything else he's done I did think it was light hearted

dont get me wrong, I thought it was great

I'd probably go tenenbaums>life aquatic>rushmore>moonrise>darjeeling

7/1/2012 10:00:36 PM

Well, as you all know gangstas like me don't cry, but I kinda wish I was the teary eyed type for the moment when his scout master told him that if he could have inspected the camp when the two were caught, he would have gave him commendable since it was the best pitched tent set up he had ever seen.

Yeah, I was struck by just how dark it was at times. There were a couple of moments where I thought Anderson was about to get really cold-blooded with the ending.

7/1/2012 11:52:01 PM

^ I had the same fear, but he came through with a brilliant ending, just like he always does

I liked this one, but it rates second-to-last in my Wes Anderson list (Royal Tenenbaums > Darjeeling Limited > Rushmore = Fantastic Mr. Fox > Moonrise Kingdom > Life Aquatic = Bottle Rocket)

I felt like there were too many big stars giving uninspired performances (Harvey Keitel being the worst offender). It lacked the emotional wallop of Roya Tenenbaums and Darjeeling Limited. Also, the sexual shit with 12-year-olds was a little over-the-top/ icky.

7/2/2012 12:32:28 AM

other than the very end with people dangling it wasn't really dark, not as dark as his other movies

7/2/2012 12:33:41 AM

how could you possibly put aquatic lower than this!

7/2/2012 12:40:20 AM

how could you possibly put Darjeeling last!

7/2/2012 12:42:50 AM

The Life Aquatic has a lot of problems. Not saying I'd put it at the bottom, but there's a lot to complain about.

I'm not sure how someone could think the very limited sex stuff was over the top. It was every bit as comically sterile and awkward as it would be in real life.

In other news, why is Bill Murray always getting cheated on in these flicks?
