I'm so over Wes Anderson. What's his deal with using India and Indians for comedy?

Coen Bros. are looking like they're getting back to some Blood Simple noir. It's about time.

I still think the only American filmmaker who can go to the dark place McCarthy charted in 'NCFOM' is Rob Zombie. This book isn't pulp, it isn't suspense, it's horror.

I was just wondering if any novel could be more horrificly dark than Cormac McCarthy's "The Road." After reading Grant's comment, apparently the answer is yes.

Yeah, Wes Anderson is done. The poster has the same exact color scheme as The Life Aquatic. Dude's getting really, really tired.

O Jesus, you elitist bastards, you haven't even seen the fucking movie but Anderson's "over" and "done" because the POSTER for his movie has the same COLOR SCHEME?? The movie may very well suck, who knows? But you might base that on..something, anything substantive, if not actually waiting to see the goddamned thing.

And The Decemberists, SO yesterday, right? You're that person, right?

I hate to disappoint you, Dan, but there is nothing in literature or film to equal the sheer mind-numbing horror of the basement scene in 'The Road'. But 'NCFOM' was a warm-up, scary in that philosophically bleak and hyperviolent way the back-eddy moments of Zombie's movies - otherwise flawed, I think, they're no 'Texas Chainsaw' though they try too hard to be - can achieve at their best. Both of them are tapping in - Zombie in a cartoon way, McCarthy like Milton - to an essential violence of the desert, and the desert civilization America has set upon it. The coin-toss scene in 'NCFOM' will be ultimate test of the Coens' ability to throw down. I haven't heard it mentioned since the film premiered, so I'm not expecting to be wowed. But hell yes I'll go.

And it's only one color: yellow. Henceforth, by nitwit decree, Wes Anderson is here forward and into eternity prohibited from using the color yellow. So mote it be.

Wes Anderson is a skilled director with a unique and clear style. I hope this movie is good. Life Aquatic wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good. However, the previous two movies are a couple of best in the last 10 years.

Word to xmsg. I wanted more out of Life Aquatic than I got, but I'm not about to write off Wes Anderson altogether.

wait & seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

NCFOM can not suck. Or I might die.
