Drunk rant #1

Ok, I hate this guy Wes Anderson. He made those movies Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I couldn't figure out why I didn't like them before, but with The Life Aquatic I think I've finally figured it out.

His movies are always filled with this bland wit and weird visual style (which I love), and he writes these off the wall plots that somehow pull you in. But, right after the weird climax of each movie, he wusses out and gives everyone a happy ending. I HATE THAT!!!

Psychoanalyze that any way you want.

Issues with your parents, Dutch?

I've only seen Rushmore and thought it was the biggest piece of pretentious shit I'd seen in years (Until I saw Sin City anyway). It wasn't funny, the direction was agonizing and the storyline was too lackluster to be interesting.

See? I can write reviews that don't reveal deep-seated psychological problems! :)

SO CAN I!!!! See

I rented Team America World Police and thought it was overdone and underfunny. Especially when the main cahracter left the team like when I was left at the store by my parents and couldn't find my way out of ther and WHY WHY WHY???!!!!! and compared to Baseketball and Orgazmo this movie was a HUGE letdown.

Wow, you really didn't like Team America? What did your parents do to you?

It just wasn't that funny.

I notice you never enjoy politcally oriented comedy-you actually hated the Daily show AFTER Craig Kilborne left instead of BEFORE like the rest of us.

You are missing a golden opportunity to do a blog by a "film critic" who always seems to relate his hatred of movies to his dysfunctional upbringing!
