The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou

[meatwad]

i've felt for about a year now that every song off of the "ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars" album could cut together really nicely in a trailer. i guess wes felt like proving me right...

what were the songs in the trailer?

"Queen Bitch"....but that was on Hunky Dory, not Ziggy Stardust

[The Perineum Falcon]

"Swamp leeches! Everyone check for Swamp leeches!

....

I'm the only one that got hit?
What's the deal?!"

That's my favorite.

I guess my buddies at the trusty yankee racers board answered my question:

not sure what the horrible techno music playing in steve's helmet is, but the rest of the music in the trailer is as follows:
from the shot where they all dive into the water to the scene where bill and owen are talking on the deck at night: "gut feeling" by devo.
from "a film by wes anderson" to bill murray's delightful delivery of the word "revenge": "ceremony" by new order.
from "this christmas" to the punch: "queen bitch" by bowie.
over the cast credits we get to hear bowie's "starman" played by seu jorge (and it's really, really good. maybe better than the original).
from the word "action" to the end, it's bowie's version of "starman".

A Wes Anderson film co-written by Noah Baumbach featuring Bowie songs.  Throw in Kate Winslet and a bunch of zombies and you have the perfect film for me.  Cate Blanchett and sharks will have to do, I suppose.

large, quick time trailer .

And so with one little trickle, the influx of Life Aquatic avatars and sigs begins.

I join the numbers of whoever wasn't overwhelmed by the trailer but thinks that the movie may just be too out there to sum up properly in a 2 1/2 minute advertisement. I lack no faith in Mr. Anderson.

I can't wait for the soundtrack. Anderson talked in EW about how he got Seu Jorge to cover quite a few Bowie tunes. It'll be beautiful.

[Redlum]

A little underwhelmed...yes. But this trailer just made my day....

My favourite bit: "That's beautiful...I wonder what they're saying"

I was a bit disappointed by Royal Tennenbaums, and despite the genious of Rushmore, I almost feel like Bottle Rocket remains Wes's best film.  But I have to say, I think this trailer looks pretty good.  It seems like Wes has expanded and loosened up a bit (Tennenbaums seemed so stiff and contrived, as if the actors were afraid to move for fear of ruining the shots of obsessively detailed sets).  

This looks like it has some good slapstick, some explosions (those are always good), some animation, and a good idea at its core.  

I am looking forward to it.

Disappointed?  What else did you want to see in it?
