Vampire Weekend is touring and isn't playing the club near us, rather a 3,300 person venue. Goodness. - MDH Jan 4, 13:34
I didn't really like Royal Tenenbaums ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:34 19
- I thing TRT is a movie I didn't "get" - con_carne Jan 4, 13:47 1
  - If you like nothing else, it's got the best opening of all time. -- nm - nubby Jan 4, 13:51
- I blame that one line of arbitrarily determined dialogue. -- nm - David Jan 4, 13:38 8
  - Oh, you mean the incompetence of the writer at being subtle? Yeah, that's a real downer. Detracts from the whole experience. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:39 7
    - between this and the recent potty-mouth-ness, I just don't know about you anymore. -- nm - b. Jan 4, 13:41
    - Yes, Wes Anderson is known for his lack of subtlety. Err... -- nm - David Jan 4, 13:40 5
      - You called me out on my single-faceted critique of Avatar; I responded in terms of Cameron, not Anderson. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:42 4
        
        I haven't called anybody out since like 2003 but Royal Tenenbaums is a phenomenal movie. -- nm - David Jan 4, 13:47 1
        
        I think I just didn't "get" Anderson films at the time that I watched it. I'd probably like it more now. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:52
        
        ah. I take back some of the above then. -- nm - b. Jan 4, 13:43 1
        
        heheh. :) Anderson loves to set the mood of his films using the pacing of scenes ... it's an interesting skill he has. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:45
- Oh, it was fantastic. -- nm - nubby Jan 4, 13:37 2
  - Now that I've seen The Darjeeling Ltd, maybe I should re-watch it and see if it's grown on me -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:38 1
    - Darjeeling Ltd threatened to make me unlike Tenenbaums. - TFox Jan 4, 13:41
- I don't really like Vampire Weekend. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 4, 13:35 2
  - I don't think I've heard them. Or, I have, and didn't know it was them. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:36 1
    - Playing them in Guitar Hero last week, I realized I heard them before but never associated the song (or style of music) with the band name before. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 4, 13:48
- Top ten movie all time for me. -- nm - Jovian Jan 4, 13:35 1
  - It was one of those ones where i wasn't in the right mood to watch it (See: 300.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:35
