Anyone else looking forward to Moonrise Kingdom?

[cleo29]

The cast looks great.

[snipsnsnails]

I gave it a solid "meh." Visually it was great; actual story & characters just so-so.

[Deleted]

My brother loved this movie.

I tend to love what he loves.

[bte4242]

I love Wes Anderson movies, so I will definitely see it!

[cleo29]

I feel like most people either love Wes Anderson movies or hate/dislike them, there is very little in between.

[liverandonions]

Yes I have been-Now if it would only start playing in my damn city!

[snipsnsnails]

I love Wes Anderson, and relatively speaking, this movie is great to non WA movies. But in comparison to some of his others....meh.

I gotcha.

My brother only really loves Rushmore.

He's not a huge fan of other Wes Anderson works.

For years I would do the owl "Hoo Hoo hoo" from Rushmore (complete with hand talons) and it would crack my friend up. She was the only one who got it. lol

I feel so meh about Wes Anderson in general. He tries too hard to be hip, without the substance to back it up. I think he topped out at Rushmore.

[snipsnsnails]

Aw, you people have got no love for The Royal Tenenbaums? I stuck with him through Life Aquatic..., Mel. Now, like I said, visually they're still interesting and the acting is still great, everything else...meh.

[Deleted]

The Royal Tenenbaums was ok.

Everything else was kind of terrible. LOL.

Nothing compares to Rushmore.

I agree with Miso!

[Deleted]

I pretty much like all of his stuff. I thought Life Aquatic was hilarious and was the Royal Tenenbaum's. I saw previews for this the other day and I'm excited to see it.

[eightangryreindeer]

I really liked The Darjeeling Express.

Rushmore is the best.

I like The Royal Tenenbaums tons, too.

I haven't seen Fabulous Mr. Fox or whatever that's called.

I thought The Life Aquatic was terrible.

[liverandonions]

Royal Tennenbaums is hysterical, and Fantastic Mr. Fox is AWESOME-So funny! We saw it on an airplane, and everytime I with my niece and she wants to watch I get secretly excited!!

Wait! I loved Fabulous Mr. Fox. It was adorable and clever.

I retract my previous statement.

Team Rushmore and Fox.

[mamasaurus]

Yes. I love Wes Anderson. One of my pets is named Zissou, even.

I would like to see him start to mix things up a little more, though. This seems really similar in many ways to things he has done already.

[Jalapeñomel]

I again agree with Miso---I forgot about the Fantastic Mr. Fox

[Deleted]

George Clooney was SO GOOD!

I have to admit that I found the animated fox very attractive. LOLOLOLOL.

I looked at the trailer for this movie a couple of weeks ago and I think it was playing in Greenwich then. I'd like to see it.

I was never employed in my field btw, just to let you know.

I was a very low-wage office assistant. I think I topped out at 12.75 an hour, if I'm remembering correctly.

I made more hourly as a hospital housekeeper working evenings on the weekends than I did at any office job<--- here is where I would put a lolz, if I was going to include one.

What was your field of study? Would you think of trying to do something with it?

You can tell me to stfu.

[textbookcase]

I love all of his movies and can't wait to see it.

Psychology and English, double major. I also pursued education and did student teaching, I was no good.

I wanted to write. I should have been a journalism major. I don't think my school offered a journalism major. Also, I was not knowledgeable regarding majors and didn't know, at the time, what to take in order to pursue my goal.

[cleo29]

If H could go back and do it again, I think he wold have majored in math or finance. I just don't think he got good guidance on that sort of thing.

My friend, who I don't think majored in journalism, went for a masters or something in it. I know you have taken other classes, maybe a journalism class would be up your alley. Flex your writing muscles.

That's a good idea, a very good idea.

Sure. Do what will work best for your life right now. Perhaps when the girls are in preschool, and thus all kids are in school, you could go take a class as a local school. I think starting with something you already feel drawn to and feel that you are good at it is a great place to start.
