Just finished "The Life Aquatic" and it didn't suck!

[JanMichael]

Yeah it was a tad slow and disjointed but it was entertaining to the end. Cool soundtrack as well.

And yes it was creepily dark on some levels but what isn't these days?

I wonder where all of the lousy reviews came from?

EDIT: In case I wasn't clear I LOVED IT!

1. It's a brilliant film! Whaddya mean "didn't suck"?

[JanMichael]

4. I'd heard such terrible reviews from friends and co-workers.

They're all full of it apparently.

2. It was really trippy. but I was a little...um...

:smoke:

3. i enjoyed it.

5. I found myself going to see it two nights in a row when it came out.

I am a big fan. I guess not everyone likes it though.

6. The stupid American critics suck .....

[JanMichael]

7. That's probably it. Out national tastes in entertainment do suck.

<sigh>

8. It was a great film...

I love Wes Anderson. Quirky, fun, occasionally dark. My kind of humour. Great style and acting and whatnot as well.

9. I loved it also

I felt like I actually got to know the characters, like they weren't just personified concepts, and I really gave a damn about them. That's pretty rare in a movie nowadays.

10. I liked it, too

Wow, I thought I might be the only one! Glad to see I am not.

11. It is one of my favorite movies...

Brings back a lost art in American Films, *Gasp* Character development!

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Lousy reviews came from people who can't handle art that isn't

prepackaged and convenient, like a tube of pringles.

Life Aquatic - and The Royal Tannenbaums - both fucking brilliant.

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. See Bill Murray in "Broken Flowers" to complete the pair

A similar thread to a substory in The Life Aquatic, interestingly enough.

[CanuckAmok]

14. Meh.

With every film, I like Wes Anderson less and less.

Rushmore... now that was a great fucking film. Everything he's done since...well...meh.

Part of it is because I can't stand that doofus Owen Wilson.
