what type is she?
― by another name (amateurist), Tuesday, 6 April 2010 07:35 (fourteen years ago) link
overachieving azn who is pretty bland and lacks a personality/is not interesting
― armando white (dyao), Tuesday, 6 April 2010 07:38 (fourteen years ago) link
is sort of tolerated by everyone but nobody really likes her
:-(

The one I think I enjoyed most was Darjeeling, but I have a tough time with Anderson films. I don't know if it's an audio issue, but I always find it difficult to concentrate on the dialogue. It seems cloudy and arrhythmic or mumbled somehow.

jesus dyao you're making me feel bad with that level of self-hatred
although her (not entirely inexplicable, though perhaps not fully justified) affection for him is kind of another hint that he's basically a good and decent guy.
well, that and wes's racist exoticism fetish HEYO

haha nhex I guess I've just spent so much of my life trying to define myself against that 'type' that I'm just really sensitive about it I dunno

i don't know that i should just let this sit there. please explain. and explain how it relates to this particular character. would you rather he have just cast a scottish girl to be max's love interest?

i think we can all agree wes anderson is generally pretty racist
― caek, Tuesday, 6 April 2010 14:11 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah tbh any director whose indie pretentions occasionally exceed their grasp is a massive bigot

jeez, i feel like it's 2002 all over again.
i'm just wondering if there's any way that anderson could have made the girlfriend asian and NOT have to contend with you corny indie fuxors complaining of racism.

"Sure, it's tempting to imagine belonging to another culture but I'm comfortable with the status my ethnicity and birth provides" , confides Anderson, the briefest hint of a smile visible as he discusses his new Renoir by way of Satyajit Ray neocolonial chamber piece in the opulent surroundings of a Chennai Gentleman's Club. "There are times growing up when I'd have to pretend that kind of privileged Northern European cultural background embarassed me, when we'd have to visit these impoverished Hispanic districts or whatever. But really I didn't give a fuck. They were savages."

on second thought, i'm surprised life aquatic did as well as it did. not surprised, although disappointment, at the poor showing for darjeeling limited.
