The Life Aquatic...

This is the new film from Wes Anderson who gave us the memorable "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums". I just finished watching the trailer for it and it looks tremendous. I hope it's not a case of the best scenes being in the preview. With lines like "I want you to be on the Zissou team, I'll order you a red hat and a speedo." how can it be wrong. I can see where some people wouldn't get his humor, but I do. My favorite quote from "Tenenbaums" is when Royal (Gene Hackman) is talking to his grandkids about their mothers death for the first time.

"I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman."

Another great quote from the movie is when Eli is speaking with his stepsister who he had a crush on:

Eli : I'm not in love with you any more.
Margot : I didn't ever know that you were.
Eli : Let's not make this any more difficult than it already is.

This movie is a classic.

The best quote from Rushmore:

Max Fischer : I like your nurse's uniform, guy.
Dr. Peter Flynn : These are O.R. scrubs.
Max Fischer : Oh, are they?

I hope the new film has the same memorable quotes. The cast is typical Wes Anderson,
Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Angelica Huston etc... It should be good.

My internet returns!! It's working again...yay!!
Anyway, if you haven't seen Wes Anderson's "Bottle Rocket," you need to rent it now. Although some would disagree, it's my favorite of the 3 films currently available on DVD.

P.S. Great Tenenbaum line:
Actuall, there are so many good ones, it would be silly to quote one.
