Test...

You can't hope for any nudity or fucking since the main characters are kids. So, there goes that.

The whole movie felt contrived and full of itself. You can almost hear the director thinking, "here's how to make this shot trendy and hip."

If the movie was 45 minutes, it would've been better.

Yeah, that's definitely true of pretty much all Wes Anderson movies. I mean, films...{hand rolls cigarette, smokes it disdainfully}

He really does seem to make a conscious effort to create a lot of "that's so precious" moments. I get why it would annoy people. Moonrise Kingdom had a lot of that but overall I thought it was really good. Best movie he's made in a while.

It was boring...big time. I loved Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, and Bottle Rocket, but Moonrise Kingdom was a huge bore.

I can honestly say I have tried to watch Rushmore, Tenenbaums and Bottle Rocket...couldn't make it through any of the three.

Makes sense now I know they were all by the same guy.
 
Rushmore is an alltimer for me...the Schwartzman/Murray interaction is flatout greatness.

I dunno, there was something about that flick that never hit it for me. Same with Bottle Rocket. I was excited to see it because of the star power, then the pace of the movie was like...boring.

That's the one that sold me. I saw Bottle Rocket first and thought it was pretty good but Rushmore was outstanding.
 
Rushmore is my least favorite of the Anderson movies. Probably cause so many people talked it up before I had a chance to view it. Schwartzman in particular has a face I'd like to punch which might have given me that impression as well.
 
While we didn't have a scary house this year, I was able to ride the trick or treat trailer with all the kids and scare the crap out of folks.

It is amazing to me how white folks protect their kids and try to keep you away, while the black folks will stop their car when they see me and have me run over and scare the shit out of their children.

I'm pretty sure they use it for discipline later.

Boy if you don't straighten up I'm gonna get the zombie man after you!
 
I went to high school with a guy who has moved out to LA and been getting bit parts in sitcoms and movies for a couple years now.

He just announced that he was working with Wes Anderson and people acted like it was a big deal, but I never even heard of the dude.
 
Not a big fan of Halloween. It's probably because when I was a kid my parents and all those around them said it was OF TEH DEBIL!

Mine did, too...so there's lots of evil I've yet to inflict on the local area chilrens.

Only on Halloween though. The rest of the year I'm the ultimate upstanding citizen.
