The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou

Lose what? I liked Tenenbaums. But Redux was a 6000 lb. gorilla. It's still the best movie of the last 25 years.

if this is a statement of personal preference, would you like a list of everything you're disregarding? but if you feel this is true empirically, you are incorrect.

[Pubrick]

it's just mutinyco.

[mutinyco]

Yes, it's just Mutinyco. But yes, it's also a fact. In fact, an international poll by none other than Sight & Sound came to the same conclusion. I'm on no ledge.

But this is silly. This is Mr. Wes' forum. No need to take this thread on a detour.

[modage]

i dont think a new edit of a previously released film can count as a best film of the year, but i'm not Sight and Sound.  

yeah pete, i have to agree.  nobody does it for me like WES or PT.

"Everything in its Right Place" might be included in the film's soundtrack. My favorite director, my favorite band - I am pleased.

words of the wise. havent seen redux -- revisited the original cut a few weeks ago. breathtakingly astounding movie. now, i have been reluctant to watch redux, in the event that it was the result of coppola being bored and old and off his rocker -- his hands arent as steady with the scalpel as they used to be, if you know what I'm saying. are you suggesting that redux is superior to coppolas first pass?

Who cares if it was used in Vanilla Sky? Nobody will remember that film in 20 years anyways. I think it's safe to say we won't be saying that about The Life Aquatic. It's a great song and I think this will be a great movie. That's all that matters.

I would've kept the same opinion of the original as the best of the last several decades. But yeah, although I think there are some uneven elements in the Redux, there's just nothing else even remotely like it.

you still don't get it, dude.  That's like a girl says to a guy "you're the best guy who's ever lived" and you go "uh-hmm, excuse me, I believe that will be Gahndi."  And apocalypse now ain't even gahndi, not even with that extra hour of cinema.  was the best film of 2003 Aliens?

party foul.

I think he's disagreeing with you.

[mutinyco]

Quite obviously.

[AntiDumbFrogQuestion]

judging from mixed reviews on AintItCoolNews,

this is like Margots play.

but thank the Gods of cinema for the Wes Anderson we love

For this will exceed more than a two week run
