  1. i posted this at nfl-fans.com I started a post on this movie a while back to little...no fanfare...anyways...i saw it last night: some background: this movie was directed by a young and bright director named Wes Anderson. He has become my favorite directors with his first three movies: Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums. His style is distinctly his, has a great sense of music in a movie, and the casting in his movies is impeccable. His first three movies were co-written by Owen Wilson, this was the first one that was most exclusively his. He creates his own worlds, from the private school at rushmore, to the strange gypsy cabs of the royal tenenbaums to the crayola creatures of the life aquatic. His movies are entertaining to me, though i've found a lot of critics saying, they don't get it. Well, theres nothing to get, it takes a very talented person to know this type of humor is funny when writing the script, its a combination of great writing, directing, and acting. All his movies reach this height. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou review: by bMaGs I saw this movie last night, and I can honestly say with no hyperbole that I have never left a theatre this happy, excited, and pleased with a movie, ever, in a relative short, but movie filled life. When I first saw the previews for a new wes anderson movie i was excited, but i heard from the sneak preview from a wes anderson fan it was a hilarious movie, but they thought it wasn't his best .(sorry_. However, i found this my favorite anderson flick to date. He created a new world, the visuals he made were by far my favorite. It looked like the whole movie was shot in a box cut in half, and its as if it was a documentary of a documentary. Bill Murray was hilarious, funniest i've ever seen him. The action sequences were so funny, and there was another actual heart wrenching scene, and when the audience wonders whether the tone of the movie is shifted, it goes right back to being hilarious. There is a character in the movie who sings david bowie songs in a different language that is quite funny, as well as the stripper on the boat, and owen wilson is hilarious. The cast is impeccably funny, the soundtrack will be cash again, and the directing was the best i've seen this year. I'm next anxiously awaiting to see the aviator. Four Stars, 98.0 rating, A phenominal film if you are a wes anderson fan. If you are not, its still an incredible, four star film with a great performance by bill murray and cast. Though, i'm sure i will recieve a few - it was stupid and random and dumb - as was heard twice when entering, but everyone else was entranced with this aquatic world. It was hilarious. I loved it. I called everyone i knew was up afterward and told them to see it as quick as they could.

    Fabio Castro

    haha, i was wondering how much smaller a smaller munoz would be.
  8. no, i said who would you like to reunite that could reasonably be reunited...i mean if we were going dead people i'd have put together the beatles, led zeppelin, the jimi hendrix experience, alice in chains, STEVIE ray vaughan and double trouble... And i said i'm not sure why becasue they aren't broken up...therefore...reunion don't make much sense.
  9. alright, i've been reading these and in my opinion, the beatles without harrison or mccartney would suck...but i guess the who is doing it without moon and ....i can never spell his last name... sublime without brad??? would suck. i would like to see uncle tupelo for a little bit, but i love wilco. im not sure why there were so many metallica votes...! SPEAKING OF REUNIONS... cream is getting back together...back when clapton wasn't a wuss.
  10. because rage was original and had a reason its music sounded the way it did...and audioslave is just another band.
  11. I say possible...i guess its possible even if one or two members are dead as long as its not the lead singer or songwriter...thou i guess floyd did go on without waters...poorly... anyway, i was thinking about this and the best and most realistic one i could think of would be for the smiths to get back together since the pixies recently did. That would be fine for me...then next on the list 1. at the drive in 2. rage against the machine 3. Smashing Pumpkins
  12. phenominal...shall i break open the champaigne.
  13. i wouldn't sign a contract that long for the simple reason that in a couple years i might make more...and the nfl doesn't have guaranteed money anyways....so there isn't much security in that.

    Christmas Eve Poll

    i worked last year on christmas eve from 10-5 pm...it sucked...i'm happy thisyear.
  15. i used to do this for profootballcentral.com, but then the guy who ran it made me editor, and i was doing all this work for him and then he stopped talking to me entirely without even a thanks. It was BS...i'm sure you wouldn't do that but i'm wary to get into writing for this again.
  16. did anyone see murrays interview in that Life magazine in the tribune today? It was awesome...i guess they had a big workload for this movie.
  17. hahaha, when he stabs gene hackman again...i don't htink i've ever laughed so hard.
  18. he's worth the revenue he'll bring to the falcons...that said i'm not a big fan of the way vick plays...i have much more respect for donovan mcnabb, who has become far more effective as a pocket passer who can run when necessary and also culpepper than i do vick.
  19. royal tenenbaums crap? Bollocks I say. It was wonderful...probably, no by far the best job visually that wes has done. On top of that had some awesome parts...haha, dudley was awesome and owen wilson crashing the car into the house...just a great movie.
  20. well, even a lesser wes anderson movie is better than 90% of the crap out there...good to know...i'm excited to see it still. MOreso, i'm excited to get the soundtrack...all of his soundtracks have been awesome.

    PTBNL

    that would be a nice gift for us...especially cause we wouldn't need worry about SS.
  22. One of my favorite directors, i expect this film to be just as stellar...i've loved every film he's made and he's always been great at casting. One of the truly original film writer/directors around right now. ANy other Wes ANderson fans... for those unfamiliar: Bottle ROcket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums all Anderson films.
  23. i used to like nocioni, but i'm getting tired of seeing a fast break where he has the ball, and there are three other bulls aroundhim and only one defender...and instead of passing for an easy basket for his teammates he just runs right to the hoop.
