it's a tough one. i can't decide which i loved more, 'bottle rocket' or
'rushmore.' bottle rocket was one-of-a-kind. to this day, i've never seen
anything quite like it. it's so abstrusely funny and bizaar--full of
perplexing scenes and dialogue. the tape on the nose, anthony's
flourishing romance with inez, the yellow jumpsuit, etc.
while 'rushmore' had plenty of these types of things, it somehow seemed
more familiar to me; possibly because it had a definite harold and
maude/the graduate feel to it. i wasn't immediately reminded of any movie
while watching bottle rocket. 'rushmore' is great though. i think that wes
anderson is one of our greatest hopes as far as directors go. i only hope
he continues to make movies in the same vein as these two--not in your face
humor and spoon fed story lines. as for owen and luke wilson, i didn't
think they looked too much alike at all. they're not twins. i do know
that they have made some crappy movies since bottle rocket--don't see 'dog
park' and has anyone seen 'minus man'? i still don't know what i thought
of this one.
if anyone can recommend movies similar to these two, please do so.
otherwise, i'll have to go see 'coyote ugly.'
