Saw THE LIFE AQUATIC tonight. It was really hard to get into for a huge chunk of the movie - not sure if it was the fact that I've been dragging ass all week and had a big ass burger and several beers before hand, or my mood in general, or my impression that Steve Zassou's weed habit was something he inherited from his creator.

However, by the end of the movie I was digging it fierce. By the time Zassou had his breakdown in the sub, I was hooked.

Question for those who've seen it: At the end of the power walk during the end credits (which felt so much like an hommage to the credits of BUCKAROO BANZAI it can't have been unintentional, especially with Jeff Goldblum in the cast), when they get to the ship, there's a figure in a suit and a captain's hat who's smoking a pipe and standing in the crow's nest - was that Owen Wilson? Or were we just supposed to wonder it it was? Either way, nice touch.

I finally saw Phantom! So good! I'll give that it was very cheesy and not even terribly well done at times but I SO DIDN'T CARE! I am going to love it and hug it and call it George.

I brought two friends, one of whom really wanted to see it, and one of whom hadn't seen me this hopped up to see a movie in a long time so she humored me, and I was afraid that they might be bored or not like it but A) As previously stated, I didn't care, and B) they really liked it too. So much that one of them wanted to listen to 'Point of No Return' on the way home because it was "So hot." And it was!

The Phantom was fantastically pretty. I was unaccustomed to that, but pleased. They weren't the best singers ever, but they carried it, and I almost didn't mind that they cast 'actors' over 'singers', because one of the coolest things for me was to see the characters' faces and reactions up close thoughout the movie. When you see a show, unless you're lucky enough to be in the first few rows, what you generally see are a bunch of stick figures dancing and singing.

I'm so childishly stoked right now that I'm almost embarrased by my total lack of snark, and I'm sure that it's deserving of some. So it's best I stop now. I promise tommorrow to pick some other movie apart in this one's place.

Lilty! Holy crap! I saw Phantom tonight too!

I liked it all right, having never read the book or seen the show. I wanted more things to blow up, though.

Dude, you should be grateful that anything blew up at all! That was an addition!

But, yay!!

Gets dizzy from childish fandom and falls down.

I had to watch this, so I don't see why the rest of you don't: [link]

Eew! That was...unsettling.

Okay, that is offically the weirdest thing I've seen today, possibly all week, maybe all month, in the running for all year, and making a good case for EVER.
