You think? (Regarding the R rating) It's definitely intense, but no sex, violence, or really any gore. My 10-yo is dying to see it and I think he could handle it.
This movie was what Signs wanted to be. The acting was really outstanding, and I think we can expect lots of greatness from John Krasinski as a director.
Yeah, I generally don't like it at all. It's just really clunky and jerky, and I can't think of a modern case where it added to the movie experience. But, I haven't seen Fantastic Mr. Fox, so I'll be sure to check that out.
I appreciate Wes Anderson even though I've only really liked a few of his movies (The Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom), but this one seems like the next level of pretentious even for him. Like he's saying "Critics love my movies no matter what so I'm going to do the next one in the worst animation style possible because I can." Because fuck claymation.
Had blackened catfish Opelousas last night at Schooner. It's not the prettiest picture or plating but damn it was good. And I had totally forgotten about their au gratin potatoes. Been a few years since I'd eaten there.
