Crayon Sea Ponies

I apologize for my previous post, but it had to be done. I hearby announce my candidacy for stupidist fucking girl in the world for not having exorcised that particular demon sooner... much, much sooner. That said, we now return you to our regularly scheduled blogging...

So, on a much happier note, let's talk about how much Wes Anderson rocks. I saw "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" last night at a chud screening. What an outstanding film. It is a Wes Anderson film though so it will definitely not be for everyone. The soundtrack is bizarre at best. It's just a weird fucking movie all around, but it's funny and beautiful and superbly acted. Bill Murray is a genius. He just keeps getting better and has really been picking good material lately. The whole cast is great. Aside from Murray it's hard to single out any one performance. Although this is a very different role than we usually see Willem Dafoe playing... There's no point in trying to explain what this movie is about. If you like Wes Anderson's movies, then you'll love "Life Aquatic." If you don't "get" Wes' films, then you won't like this one. It's as simple as that. Personally I loved it and will definitely have to see it again...
