On a lighter note, last night I had the good fortune of going to see Wes Anderson's newest movie, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I was at home last night when at around 8:20 or so, J. Krue called me up and asked if I wanted to go see a screening of it at 9 in Hollywood since his brother had flaked at the last minute. Since I'd been looking forward to this movie more than any other out there that's due to be released in the next 6 months or more (that I'm aware of), naturally I decided to go, and I wasn't disappointed. Wes Anderson's movies are certainly not for everyone (in fact a couple that was sitting next to us got up and left after about 15 minutes or so), but if you enjoy his movies, then I would assume, like me, that you would enjoy Life Aquatic. I won't go into some big review or tell you what it's about or anything like that, cause it's pointless. If you like Wes Anderson's stuff, you're probably already going to see it, and if you don't like his stuff you've probably never heard of it or have no interest. I'll just say that I got a very strong feeling watching it last night that like all of Wes Anderson's stuff it's going to get immeasurably better upon repeat viewings. Anyway, that's my review. I see that Wes Anderson is going to be at the Egyptian Theater here in LA on Nov. 18th for a screening of the movie, and I also see that it is scheduled to come out theatrically here in LA (and in NYC as well) on December 10th. I'm up for going again, is anyone else interested?
By the way, this is pretty hilarious.
