saw Darjeeling Limited yesterday

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 10.29.2007, 12:13 AM

I liked it a lot. Thought Adrien Brody was great.

Angelica Houston has a small role and Bill Murray has a cameo.

There is a pretty cool surreal scene where they make it look like everyone has a room on the train, even the killer tiger in the jungle.

atari 2600 · 10.29.2007, 12:14 AM

It's playing at the theater across town from me, so that's my excuse. I'd like to see it in the theater. If it were playing right near me, I probably would have already seen it.

Yeah, heard about those cameos. What would you give it on a rotten tomatoes-type scale of 1 to 100?

Silent Dan Speaks · 10.29.2007, 12:26 AM

I would love to see it, but apparently it's not coming to my city.

79%

I just got home from the theater
Saw the film by myself (i like to go to the theater alone at least once every 2 weeks)
No one else was there, which was grand
I hate watching films while the audience laughs/shuffles around/eats popcorn/opens wrappers/coughs/sneezes/whispers/text msgs

I liked it better than Rushmore, but not as much as Life Aquatic/Royal Tenenbaums/Bottle Rocket

atari 2600 · 10.29.2007, 12:31 AM

Hmm, not exactly a great rating but still better than average and worth seeing I suppose.

I think I like The Royal Tenenbaums the least.

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 10.29.2007, 12:44 AM

for me, Royal Tenenbaums is andersons 2nd best.

Life Aquatic being #1

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 10.29.2007, 01:16 AM

For me Rushmore is the best.

I'd rate it higher than 79 honestly.

The style is a bit different than Wes's other movies, in some ways for the better.

People think it has less substance. It is true that character motivation is vague- there are subtle visual and verbal clues. Much more subtle than his other movies (although they have subtle developments as well)

avantgarde1 · 10.29.2007, 02:46 AM

royal tennenbaums is one of my favoite films of all time... darjeeling was better than life aquatic, but not as good as RT or rushmore. bought the sdtk today too, pretty bad ass. i had to drive an hour to dallas to watch it. $10 for a fucking movie.

Alex's Trip · 10.29.2007, 08:21 AM

I saw it about a month ago. My mom and I drove out to LA to see it, it was a lot of fun. I saw it again on Saturday because it finally was released somewhere near me.

I really enjoyed it. But I'm not sure how I'd rate it, or place it in comparison to the rest of the movies. I haven't seen Rushmore for quite a long time. I think I liked it just as much as The Life Aquatic? Maybe a little less. But not as good as Tenenbaums for me.

Rob Instigator · 10.29.2007, 09:49 AM

I wanna see it!

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 10.29.2007, 11:52 AM

It is definitely harder to place among the other movies. There are some stylistic changes. A lot of the music in the movie is music that Jason Schwartzmen's character decides to play on his little docked ipod. Which is kind of weird to see in a movie.

Rob Instigator · 10.29.2007, 12:14 PM

I want anderson to write with wilson again.

I like all his movies, bottlerocket and Rushmore were filmed around Houston, my hometown.

Royal tennebaums gets better every time I watch it and I loved it the first time.

Life Aquatic is an odd masterpiece in my eyes. That movie does things to my drug-addled brain.

I like them all. cannot rank them.

Alex's Trip · 10.29.2007, 05:11 PM

Did they play Hotel Chevalier for you guys? They did when I saw it on Friday, but not when I saw it in LA.

avantgarde1 · 10.29.2007, 05:30 PM

they weren't showing it during the first screenings, but now that it's had it's wide release their showing it. i had to go download it. natalie portman looks kinda weird naked... i thought it was funny har hair was still short from V.

Gyllenhaal

noumenal · 10.30.2007, 12:37 AM

Atari,
There are 3 Kinks songs from Lola in the film: Strangers, This Time Tomorrow, and Powerman.

It's his best movie since Rushmore.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 10.31.2007, 01:05 AM

I think you may be right Noumenal.

avantgarde1 · 10.31.2007, 02:48 AM

ROYAL TENNENBAUMS!!!

!@#$%! · 10.31.2007, 03:02 AM

i like tennenbaums above all he's done; followed by rushmore, zissou, and bottle rocket.

tennenbaums is more ambitious, and it succeeds at it. rushmore is truly great, but its scope is more restricted. zissou i loved and it's quirky but it remains there somehow, or maybe by that time i had gotten used to anderson's oddities. regardless. bottle rocket is nice, but more predictable, and he didn't have the chops (or the budget?) yet.
