Oh yeah because Die Hard is awesome.

Quote from: UltrahipJust read the Owen Wilson interview in GIANT magazine. He says "I saw the movie recently, and it's very odd; to me it seems like the oddest thing that Wes had directed. It links Tenenbaums with, like, Die Hard."
he was on mescaline at the time.

or is that the other one..
under the paving stones.

Well no, Die Hard isn't awesome. However, as far as action movies go, it's pretty first rate in it's own awful, funny way. What other movie has lines like "Yippe Kayay Master Falcon!" when dubbed for TV? Wes Anderson is awesome, and so Life Aquatic appears to be. Cinephile, why go out of your way to be a jerk?

And yes, Wilson was on mescaline at the time, so perhaps we shouldn't believe everything he said, but I do anyway. I think mescaline allows him to see the inner truths.

"Melon-Farmer!" also ranked as one of the best TV dubs for Die Hard!
(all pales before the Mallrats TV dub)

Fuck turning this into a Die Hard thread, though

Dafoe's Hair Rocks. Makes him look a bit like a Gremlin.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I'm still seeing this tomorrow, but the Q&A with the director has been cancelled.

Oh, and Die Hard is awesome.

And Die Hard is not only awesome, but one of the best films of it's action genre.

Hey why don't we um, take a cue from the guy who said not to turn this into a Die Hard thread? That film is not the issue at hand.

And Hedwig I still like you even if you don't like me. Heffa Nice Day.

I could respond cleverly on an internet message board, now that I could do.

Now, no more of this. Back to discussion of "The Life Aquatic"
