"Just finished watching The Royal Tenenbaums for the first time"
Just finished watching The Royal Tenenbaums for the first time. Well, I had it 15 years ago but wasnt paying attention and turned it off. Anyways..Anderson appears to be a BIG fan of John Irving novels, especially Garp and Hotel New Hampshire. I'm not mad at him though.

Had a unique pace to it, I loved the way the story unfolded, and it was also a very honest depiction of kids that age. I think a film that shows kids in an honest way is very rare. They are always either some sort of super kids who are like tiny genuis adults or pared down to morons for the sake of cuteness. Just a pleasant (but far from saccharine) film.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
18. "what I loved about MK" In response to Reply # 12
was that the adults in the film were even LESS sure about what they wanted from an emotional standpoint than the kids.
The kids were doing their dumb shit, but with a sense of purpose, while the adults were flailing. Reminded me of a lot of the Taoist reading I was doing in college.
