Went and enjoyed The Darjeeling Limited last weekend. When seeing a Wes Anderson movie it is important not to compare it to his other ones (even though this is virtually impossible). The Royal Tenenbaums is one of the greatest movies of our time followed close behind by Rushmore. Bottle Rocket and A Life Aquatic are both amazing as well. Any other director on the earth would be lucky to have one of those movies as their crowning achievement. Its like Tyrone Willingham going to a BCS game in his first year with the Irish. You knew right there that he was done at first glance of an 8-3 season.
With that being said The Darjeeling Limited would be your 8-3 season. To anyone elses standard, amazing, but to Wes Anderson it is probably his 5th best movie. The dialogue between brothers (Owen Wilson, Adrian Brody, Jason Schwarzman) is awesome and funny. "I love you too, but I'm gonna mace you in the face"
They spend their time together trying to bond over Indian pain medication and cough syrup on a quest to find their mother. I will go see it again because I love the world Wes Anderson makes in his movies.
It's nice to look forward to seeing a movie again.
Good Soundtrack too.
The Kinks [mp3] This Time Tomorrow
I like this song and will listen to it more than 7 times today.
