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.

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

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 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

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

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.

? 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.

Did the MPAA really say that the Fanning-Stewart kiss=NC-17 rating? If not, I figure either Fanning's or Stew's people put the kibosh on the scene.
As for Moonrise..., I was kinda surprised they played a fairly extended scene in their undies. I also recall some folks around me gasping between laughs during the slow dance bit with Suzy telling telling Sam "They'll get bigger" re:her breasts and then particularly "It's hard" which probably wasn't about the ground beneath their feet.

I don't think it's a ratings thing, it's a "you will be charged with child pornography" thing iirc.
Fanning had a parent on-set iirc

just saw this. it wasn't good. but it was interesting. i've never felt so implicated in a movie, and i spent a lot of time working on movies.
1) some scenes filmed at the horrible camp i attended (and have blabbed about pretty extensively). my old cabin the was the one in which WA showed the kid jumping on the trampoline.
2) some scenes filmed on the land trust my mom maintains (the field/windmill)
3) some scenes filmed in the church on the island where my father used to be a minister.

This was great, good story, good characters, good film-making. Excessively twee and stylized in some places, but it's full of Zeitgeisty signifiers that you sort of always felt like Anderson should do, and he does them well. I like the long zoom he uses in lots of places. Feels very French New Wave when it's not being Wes Anderson Wave.
Also, I loved loved that ridic play they meet at, with Noah and the psychedelic Ark.

The two leads gave very effective and dynamic performances. Maybe people describe the acting as monotone because usually child actors are the opposite of subtle. I thought it was a realistic portrayal of depression/angst that was deep yet not overly cynical or self-obsessed.
