It came out here on Wednesday. I was gonna see it then but I went to Blue Man Group with Dad. And Thursday I went shopping, so I couldn't see it then. But I plan on seeing it again, it was that good!
The thing was, I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would.
I though that The Royal Tenenbaums was good, but I wasn't a Wes-freak like some of my friends. I thought it was a good movie with beautiful cinematography and an amazingly in-depth story, but for some reason, it never stuck in my mind as a favorite.
I almost completely passed on The Aquatic Life With Steve Zissou. After talking about it, a friend and I agreed that the best scene was the ship-interior with the continuous shot.
But for some reason, after watching Rushmore, I couldn't stop thinking about how beautifully it was put together and how the characters were all deep and amazing in a way that, though (especially the adults) were vaguely monotone in that now-trademark Wes Anderson way, there was (as trite as it sounds) so much emotion. [I remember some part after Max's play where he basically ignores his Dad and how completely hurt his dad's face looked. It was only for a second, but the way it was shot and how simple it seemed was a work of genius.]
It just seemed that Rushmore was just Wes being Wes, whereas Tenenbaums and The Aquatic Life seemed like he was purposefully trying to capture what he had just stumbled upon when making Rushmore.

That doesn't come out here for YONKS!
Fucking. Awesome.
WHY IS THIS MOVIE SO GOOD?!
Oh, duh.
Though Jason Schwartzman was amazing in a way that made me feel all tingly. I think Rushmore is one of my new fav. movies

Ooh, if you haven't seen Labyrinth, see it now.
I saw Rocky Horror yesterday, I didn't pay much attention and I think that's why it didn't make too much sense to me...
WHAT?!?!?!?!!?
You could be paying close attention, and it still wouldn't make any sense, don't worry.
