man, i'm really adamant about my "rushmore" fandom. i honestly don't think he'll make a better movie than "rushmore." and our lists ARE exactly opposite! i think he struggled in "life aquatic" because he had too many characters and each of them were just imbued with a quirk and were more props than even characters.

i had read the script and knew what was going to happen and was surprised when i felt the film should be almost over before they even met their mom, but i knew there was at least 30 minutes of movie left.
