Continuing the theme of "stealing from mom", we followed Requiem with Bottle Rocket. That leaves just Life Aquatic in the Wes Anderson canon to view. Bottle Rocket was good. Rushmore's still my favorite.

Rushmore will still be your favorite after Life Aquatic (not that it isn't worth seeing).

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest yesterday. I have musing about it, but I'm not going to share them.

Love 'Rushmore' and 'Bottle Rocket'. I think 'Rushmore' is also my fav.

While watching Bottle Rocket I wanted Owen Wilson to say "Kachow!"

I loved the dated mid-90's hairstyles. Luke Wilson's hair and clothes made him look exactly like my eldest brother did back then. Especially when he was far off or had his back to the camera.

There's something about Wes Anderson's films that makes me feel that I'm missing something. I think they're entertaining but I think I'm not "getting" the whole thing. I like the films but don't love them. Rushmore was the only film of his I'd like to see again.

Just thought I'd throw in that I loved "Superman Returns."

(but, yeah, "Spider-Man 2" is the cream of that crop.)

Does anybody know whatever happened to the release of the Johnny Depp film The Libertine? I kept seeing trailers for it, even on TV for a while ... but, as far as I know, the movie was never released.

I would think Depp could be counted on nowadays for a decent opening weekend at least. Did this film come and go without a murmur, or did it get shelved at the last minute after a bunch was spent on TV advertising?

I'm not sure what happened, but I am seeing this film on Netflix. It's available to rent...

We just got back from seeing 'Prairie Home Companion'. I liked it a lot. Love Meryl Streep in this one, she's hysterical. I loved the zen nature of Garrison Keillor (sp?). It's a fun film. Woody Harrelson and John C Reilly are funny as heck.

I saw The Libertine in the theatre.
A lot of very confused people left that theatre.

I think that Alex hit it dead on, it just didnt make it. Though it does come out this Tuesday for sale. Supposedly the behid the scenes making of extra is wonderful.

Maybe I'll try and catch a Streep double-feature in the theaters by seeing both "Prairie" and "Devil Wears Prada" on the same day!

Gemini Cricket · 06-30-2006, 08:04 PM

I really want to see 'Prada', too. She's so wonderful in the previews. She's so Cruella meets Edith Head...
