Title: the darjeeling limited
Post by: EC on Oct 23, 2007, 08:58 PM
i really loved it.
almost everybody else hates it.  i don't understand.
i guess i can't do any spoilers here.

i love that wes anderson is so careful with his detail.  i love the topics he explores (even if he talks about them in every movie).  i love the same people who keep coming back.  i love eric anderson's drawings.  i love the dialogue and the deadpan.  i love robert yeoman.  i was surprised that mark mothersbaugh didn't do the music this time - anybody know why?  

what did other people think?

I'd tell my friend Reed to wander over with his burnt DVD of Hotel Chevalier as he did for me, but I think it'd be quite the hike for him and the weather's starting to get quite cold here.   ;D

But yeah, I really can't wait to see this, I absolutely adore Wes' work (Bottle Rocket is one of my absolute favourite films).  As for the lack of Mothersbaugh, I read somewhere that it had something to do with the India influence, but I could've just thought that up not actually read it anywhere...

I wasn't thrilled with this film but I'm still looking forward to the full length fiasco.

Hotel Chevalier (which I thoroughly enjoyed --- see movie thread) actually isn't available for iTunes users in Canada.   :-/

Great interview with Wes and Jason from one of my favourite shows: http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/video.php?id=1772

i see.
i've really kept myself out of the loop these days.  i knew zero about this film before going in.  i'm trying to do that with new records, too.  keep the hype away so i can feel pure about my experience.

that's a nice george h pic, true.

Heya Meg, saw this on wikiki:

The video is no longer available for download from iTunes. On October 26, it is scheduled to debut in North American theaters, as a prologue to The Darjeeling Limited.  

I thought it left alot to be left desired (the short). looking 4ward to seeing Wes' new feature. :)

I really liked the movie! No complaints. Owen Wilson brings the lulz. :)

so i'm pretty annoyed that the two theaters that i go to most often don't have this and show no sings of getting it. it's only playing at one theater that is relatively close to me that i've only been to once. it's also the only theater showing Into The Wild and Across The Universe.
I also don't know why i haven't seen one commercial on the TV for The Darjeeling Limited. it's not gonna do well if they don't advertise. i remember when The Life Aquatic came out it was advertised all over TV.

We don't get this until March next year! March I tells ya!!!  >:(

Ouch to March. That's a bit of a wait. Here (Detroit) the movie was at the indie theater rather than the mainstream theater. I also haven't seen a commercial for it, but when I think about it, I don't see many commercials for movies to begin with. Hm.

Have I told you guys how much I love Jason Schwartzman? Observe his flannel on Jimmy Kimmel.

c'mon cake and mantooth.  through my facebook spies i know you hated it.  don't feel like you can't talk about how much you hated it because you're worried about hurting my feelings. ;)

Well, of course it didn't come here.... just like "The Life Aquatic" didn't come here. It did however come to the shitty 2 dollar theater, so I guess I'll see "Darjeeling" there if it makes it there.

i take for granted sometimes that we just automatically get everything because we're a bigger city.

but i'll tell you one thing - bama crowds rock WAY harder at concerts than shy torontonian shoe-gazers mixed in with indie rock stuffy-faces.  actually, almost every city in the world that i've visited gets down to a show more than us.

but i digress.

i went with steph, corey. :)  we had a yr moment.

i wish i coulda seen it with u and j, too. xo

Sounds like fun. I don't even get to the theater nearly as much as I used to, so maybe I'll just wait until it's on DVD and watch it that way.

noooooooooo no ho ho nooooo.
the cinematography and colours are so beauts.  you oughta see it on a bigger screen than at home.  i almost feel like short sauce could go, too.  there are a few romantic moments, oh wait...  yeah, don't take him.

i'll come down and visit and babysit so you guys can have a date. ;)

Post by: corey on Oct 27, 2007, 10:34 AM
Yeah, but I think I'd rather watch it in the comfort of my own home than to go pay a few bucks to see it on a shitty screen with shitty sound. If it never gets around to coming here in the good theater (which it probably won't since it didn't come on opening weekend), then that's probably the better option. The only advantage to seeing it at the cheap theater would be the bigger screen because those screens and projectors  suck large amounts of balls when it comes to quality.

i've only stayed quiet because i haven't checked the forum since you came down here  8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

is was the first time i left a wes anderson movie without opening my box of kleenex. i will say that. however, adrien brody was a fine addition to the anderson family.
