C(h) – It’s true. Wes Anderson is like that ex-boyfriend or girlfriend you can’t stand but still want to see whenever you get the chance. I will forever be Wes Anderson’s bitch, no matter what he does. But yes…I still may be confused.

Sizz – Music is awesome in this movie, as always. And when Wes Anderson combines awesome 70′s tracks with slo-mo tracking shots, it’s like candy.

Jerry – Thx, J. Yes, On-Demand may be your best bet.

Dave – If you enjoyed TLA, you’ll totally love this. Same obscure moments, more of a story, no animatronic sea creatures.

As a huge Wes Anderson fan, this is a bit scary. I am very much looking forward to The Darjeeling Limited, and am glad to know in advance that my hopes should not be set too high. Though I did rather enjoy The Life Aquatic, so maybe I’ll be okay?

Here’s hoping for five-times happy.

I only really enjoyed Life Aquatic but not sure I five times loved it. So I don’t know where that would leave me at the end of this film. Because of that, and this may sound so very horribly bourgeois, I’ll watch when it comes to On-Demand.

As always, excellent review, Pauly.

i do love Wes but not as much as i love Owen Wilson, Adrian Brody & Jason Schwartzman. that’s like the trifecta of awesomeness right there!

Wes usually has great music in his films.

Thank you for the heads up, Pauly!

I love love love your following assessment:
“In the end â€” if you love love love love love (five-times love) Anderson, then youâ€™re still going to see this film. If you five-times love The Life Aquatic you will love this even more for its more cohesive story telling and its humor.”

I guess I’ll be seeing it, but walking out confused.
