I enjoyed this but I feel like I'm still digesting it and there seemed to be a lack of urgency compared to the large cast and busy subplots.

i really liked this. felt like it crystallized a lot of the stuff he's been playing with for his last several films, that sense of people who don't fit in to the structures to which they belong trying to create their own worlds often with a suffocating sense of order. and its a little easier to deal with the kiddie sense of love and life when its... actual kids. willis and ed norton really kill it, everyone else doesnt have much to work with it i guess, schwartzman steals his scenes

this was pretty good, although upon initial viewing I didn't like it as much as the last either Mr. Fox or Darjeeling. Willis didn't bother me at all, enjoyed pretty much all the cast really, but it seems odd to praise anyone's acting in this film when basically every actor delivers their lines in the same identically stilted monotone - they're more like dolls than actors.

that being said, Schwartzmann was predictably my favorite

My complaint about most Anderson movies, which is why the puppet foxes were awesome.

agree with both of these.
i should get around to expressing my thoughts about this movie, but despite liking some of the "stuff" fuck did it leave me cold
― funny-skrillex-bee_132455836669.gif (s1ocki), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:27 (eleven years ago) link
schwartzmann at least had a little of the ol' WA swagger
yeah I did not feel any real emotional investment here (which isn't the case with some of his other movies that I've found genuinely moving). Schwartzmann makes things a little more fun than the others.

bill murray's sad dad shtick was so much more fun in rushmore when he had some spunk to him, it feels like he's just been on this long andersonian decline into complete impassivity

("that's a loaded question")
re: Murray - previews before this included his FDR movie. which might be fun...? I dunno, I'm glad it's not a straight biopic at least.

this schwartzmania is surprisng to me -- are you guys fans of his detective series with ted danson and zack galifianakis? because that's just non-stop schwartzman.

I haven't seen it but a friend was telling me last week that I should check it would. Bored to Death, yeah?

its cuz he's the only character in the movie with any energy

I got through two seasons of Bored to Death, and never disliked watching it, but couldn't bring myself to bother when Season 3 was on.
Schwartzman also given the most classic Anderson schtick in the whole film - that assured importance in delivering protocol despite the circumstances not warranting such a serious approach.
loved this movie though. haven't seen much this year, admittedly, but my favourite so far.

there was also a short-lived sitcom where I think he is a therapist?i liked schwartzman in rushmore, but i'm really perplexed by the idea that he elevates or outshines bad material.
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:03 (eleven years ago) link
bored to death is pretty funny, but danson kind of steals the show for me.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:03 (eleven years ago) link
i want to say bored to death is good/funny despite schwarzman but thats not quite right, maybe its that its good regardless of him, hes fine, sometimes funny, sometimes a drag, but hes not why i liked the show
― max, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:06 (eleven years ago) link
i really wanted to watch bored to death but schwarzman and his stupid hair kept me away. get a haircut hippie, you're not in the damn Monkees
― Black_vegeta (Hungry4Ass), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
watched first season of Bored to Death but not really enough going on there to keep me engaged.
would watch Yo Teach tho

idly curious how they got away with showing two obviously way underage actors engaged in nominally sexual activity... aren't there laws against this kind of thing? like, they couldn't show Kristen Stewart and whatsername kissing in that Runaways movie but somehow this was different/acceptable...?

Schwartzman saying "O, R they?" in Rushmore is one of the funniest things in the world to me.

it's definitely the funniest line in the movie
altho the thing I laugh hardest at in any WA film is "Whackbat"

? they don't do much onscreen. i am kind of amazed though that nobody has taken it upon themselves to be professionally outraged by this depiction of pubescent romance. then again "indie" movies seem to fly below those folks' radar, hence people get upset over little things in blockbuster films but films by todd solondz or gregg araki don't generate much controversy.

well I'm not outraged or anything, I just don't understand the laws/regulations that would allow two underage teens to be shown making out in one movie but not in another - like, what weird arbitrary rules are in effect here.

to be fair to the (barf) MPAA, the runaways scene was probably more lascivious.
