OK so you can see that i have very eclectic taste. I love screwball comedies as well as movies that make you think.  Sometimes i want to escape reality and sometimes i want to be engulfed in it. Well, that brings me to a Director/writer/producer that i just don't get and it is pissing me the fuck off.

The wife and I sat down last night to watch Wes Anderson's newest flick "The Darjeeling Limited." Now that is two hours i will never get back.  This movies follows three brothers on a trip of self discovery through India as they are trying to get to Tibet to meet up with their mother. All in all this is something i can wrap my head around.  But the writing goes fucking no where.

Know "cool" "hep" people that read my blog, please explain to me why this motherfucker is so highly regarded in your circles. His writing is wooden (much like David Mamet but don't get me started on that one).  Nobody talks like that.  Not one person i know talks in such short witty fucking quips.  I know if any of my friends ever talked like this i would slap them across the face. 

The Directing is good i guess because he is directing his own words that are shit so he knows how it is supposed to go.

Now i have see three of his movies and couldn't stand any of them.  Rushmore is quite possible in the top ten stupidest movies I have ever seen.  The kid is annoying, Bill Murray is annoying, and what was supposed to be funny i found myself giving the "heh" courtesy laugh. Royal Tannenbaums was not very good. better then Rushmore but gay porn with all bears would be better than that. and now this.  

There was one point in this "look how smart I am" film that i turned to my wife and said, "I enjoyed that what a good ending." problem was i looked at the time and we were only 40 minutes in.  i still had an hour to go and there was no point to that other hour. 

So if any of you like this jerk off please let me know why.  I won't criticize you  (unless your name is Kevin because it is fun to be critical of his choices.)

Oh well talk to y'all later,
