The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou

taz, I actually answered my own question in one of the subsequent posts when I found the answers on the yankee racers board, thanks anyways.  I'm actually in the 'burbs for a few weeks, I'm in between apartments right now, but I'll be in Boston this weekend if you wanna see some free movies.

regarding that "grey area" of mainstream and indie, I don't think these people are indie at all.  They're just more Hollywood in the old sense of the word, the pre-Star Wars Hollywood filmmakers.  They tend to actively draw attentions to their influences (usually European or American film movements from the 50s-70s) to distinguish themselves from the mainstream Hollywood, but they spend very little effort to break out of the traditional narrative mode of character arcs or the three/four/five act structures.  I think David Gordon Green is the only American indie/ semi-indie director with a true fresh voice today.  The rest are just building on existing good things, however old they may be.

taz, pete is totally asking you out. I knew there was a reason for the Richard Gere With A Gerbil Smile avatar.

[pete]

Now I understand the accusing eyes of MacGuffin's avatar.

[pete]

our four avatars should totally do it together.

The movie looks interesting although it's another WA film that's strange for the sake of humor or just for being strange.

[pete]

I don't think WA's films are strange for the sake of being funny/ strange at all.  I think there's always a very strong underlying theme of sadness that ties all his characteres/ quirks/ movies together.  He doesn't beat you over the head with the sadness, which perhaps makes it even sadder.  Max's mother's death, Chas's wife's death, and Dignan's not getting accepted...etc., these quirks have causes.

haha, you want to know the naughty parts.

[tpfkabi]

no, not really, i usually look at that anyway. if i'm looking for naughty i don't imagine i'd be looking for any Wes Anderson films.

[Redlum]

Wow. That poster is instant classic.
