my favorite thing about that movie was dignan's jumpsuit :P otherwise, i
don't know, i can't even call it a great movie because it was so bizarre.
i liked 'rushmore' because i could relate to it, which was something that i
could in no way do with 'bottle rocket.' i do appreciate both movies
because they aren't those 'in your face' and 'edgy' movies that have been
so overplayed in the film industry. i like to think of paul thomas
anderson and wes anderson (hey i never noticed that before; they have the
same last names ;)) as the return to kindness. i wonder why i can't tell
the brothers apartwhich one is older? i'm guessing owen probably.
they just, to me, look so much alike and i found that to be hilarious in
'bottle rocket,' as if they were mocking the fact that the characters are
only friends or something. uh, i dunno what's good out as of late, but i
wanna see 'shaft' and 'scary movie.'
zach mentioned 'fargo.' that movie is brilliant, but as a minnesotan, i
can assure you that they overdid the accent by about 45%. also, we don't
say hot plate or casserole which they screwed up - we're all about the HOT
DISH. duh! seriously that movie is great tho.. ok, i'm done.
it's my duty to pleasure isaac's booty,
