Saw Moonrise Kingdom recently, and I have to say that I was never a big fan of Wes Anderson's humor. I felt almost every actor was wasted on that film, and I really don't like the whole wisecracking kids-acting-above-their-age-thing (Also: Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, etc.). I guess people find that cute, but just let kids be kids, not mini-adults (Rousseau-type idea).

For me that culminated in the scene in the little bay, which gave me a Larry Clark-type feeling of uneasiness. What did you think about that?

There are mirrors in the free-weights section of the gym because you have to check your form. Why do some people have to keep checking themselves out, take cell-phone pics, etc. So annoying.

It would be really great if they let Gatsby survive.

Haha, but seriously, that movie is going to be awful. But much the same can be said for the hipster-history version of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, which a lot of people seem to like.

Tampopo

Fist of the North Star? Didn't know there was a non-anime adaptation.

Skyfall

Starts out really well and Javier Bardem makes for a compelling villain, but the movie was seriously underwhelming in the second half. I feel they try to push the "gritty and psychological"-thing from the previous Bond-films, Batman, and about any other recent and upcoming superhero movie, but it just falls flat.

unintentionally hilarious:

Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia

something different for a change:

why don't you take over jack?
