only thing I remember from that commentary was them pointing out the Barry Lyndon reference which I never would have got.

Another lift (and all I remember from checking out the commentary once nearly 9 years ago): The scene were Max is on the payphone and the school cop hangs up for him was taken from Wiseman's High School.

tenenbaums ftw. i also love the life aquatic. for the longest time i would say that anderson was my favorite filmmaker and something about his Romanticism -- the fact that most of his films concern, in one way or another, the conflict between the individual's idiosyncratic vision of reality and reality itself, the sort of classic quixotic conflict that is a source of both tragedy and comedy -- still speaks to me a great deal.

tenenbaums is really the only one i'm inclined to want to see again nowadays. i haven't seen the recent ones (fox, moonrise, etc.). rushmore didn't hold up, imo. life aquatic did nothing for me. darjeeling has some wonderful parts but doesn't ultimately deliver, though it seems like a more modest film than some of the others so i appreciate it more.

love love love 'fantastic mr fox' and still really like 'rushmore.' liked 'tenenbaums' at the time but in retrospect it feels like the point where anderson started making films that were basically collages of his favorite things (salinger, 'eloise,' etc etc).

FMF sucks cause fox is slick instead of smart. it is beautifully made, though. i liked the wolf.
