The Dark Knight
The Royal Tenenbaums
Kill Bill vol. 2

Yes!!!
( prefered Vol 1)

My Sci Fi reading amounts to some Gibson (the sprawl stuff mainly) some Philip K Dick and a handful of others, sadly I have not read a book in years, damn digital age!

Royal Tenebaums is an absolute classic. Did you like A Life Aquatic too?

i did. i own both. life aquatic definitely gets better the more you watch it. i saw it in the theater and was speechless at the end of it. not because i thought it was amazing, but because i had no idea what to think about what i had just seen -- i had never seen a movie like it. now i think it's really funny. and sad. but really funny.

how about you?

i saw darjeeling as well, but couldn't get into it as much. bottle rocket of course is hilarious. . . rushmore i think i need to see again, but that's a very "boy" movie.
