In some respects, I am easily entertained when it comes to movies, so factor that in.

By the "big one's" you mean all of his movies.

royal tennenbaums was the his last good film. life aquatic sucked. the commercial is ok.

natalie portman? she hasn't made a good film since she hit puberty.

Do you view yourself as a negative person?

What do you think is good?

i don't know if i'm a "negative person." questions like that are ridiculous and obviously this one was asked rhetorically, so i'll play. everything from royal T on back is very very good, i love them all.

natalie portman is not a good actor though. her last good film was "the professional" and it was good because jean reno rules. she was ok in it though. seems to me she's played that role in just about everything she's done since.

enframed is positively right.

Obviously. Comparing a Wes Anderson movie to Forrest Gump is simply retarded. Unless I'm missing the joke.

I like a lot of his work, but by virtue alone, his usage of "Coletrane" as a racial slur, makes Wes Anderson NC!

Yeah, they're extremely dissimilar.

This thread made me watch his movies again, and I forgot how much I loved them. Even The Life Aquatic. I watched it for the second and third time since seeing it in theaters, and it gets better with each viewing. I didn't like it a few years back, and maybe it's a result of change in my tastes, but I really like it now.

I was honestly being serious, I wanted to know what you thought. You come across as a negative person, just wanted to know how serious you are. This isn't an attempt to insult you or me being clever (a-ha).

I agree about Portman, I'm indifferent to her acting and most of the films she appears in.

sphincter,

what is wrong with you? did you have a brain problem once? maybe your brain swelled up and is pressing against the inside of your skull, or you have some sort of social disorder that makes you so tactless and unable to actually have a normal conversation? Is there some medical condition?

I'm not trying to insult you, I'm genuinely curious. you come across as someone who's suffered some sort of blunt trauma to the head or something.

Yeah, sounds about right.
