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
