Finally got around to seeing it. What initially sparked my interest in the film was the title, it's got a really cool ring to it. Then Bill Murray, then Wes Anderson, and finally my memories of watching Jacques Coustea (sp?) on PBS back in the day.

Anyways, beautiful film. Very funny. Very sad and melancholy. One of the best films I have ever seen.

If there was a thread about this, sorry, otherwise, what'd you guys think?

Love to DaFoe as well for pulling off another awesome character. The guy really puts his all into every film he's in and it's always a pleasure to see him do something he loves. Plus, he's hilarious as Klaus. The Zissou flag scene... I was laughing so hard it hurt.

Its a fantastic movie. I was laughing so hard When Bill Murray flips out and Iggy Pop's "Search and Destroy" plays in the background. That was simply hilarious.

I love the editing in the film... Owen Wilson and Bill Murray were great together.

Its great when Bill Murray is complaining about the reporter... he says something like "alcoholism is a disease!" meanwhile he just emptied a liquor bottle. Great stuff.

I can't wait to get it on DVD. I just might not be able to...

Awesome movie. Bill Murray was great

I thought it was an ok movie, but not a great one. Like Ebert said in his review, it was "slapstick comedy that moved at the pace of a dirge."

I've heard it said that Wes Anderson's films are an acquired taste. Let it be known: they taste delicious and The Life Aquatic is no exception. Also, I just might be in love with Bill Murray.

Great great movie, now I jut need to get a pair of those Team Zissou shoes.

...and don't forget your red cap and speedo!

Speaking of which, did you notice how each crewmember wore their hats differently?

I saw one that came with the hat.

don't talk about downloading movies again or you're banned. yeah, even you! =p

I'm still not sure about the movie...it was quirky, but I think I liked it. The guy singing the David Bowie songs was awesome (even though I was the only one in the theater that got they were Bowie songs...)

What caught me was how it quickly went to Johny Quest or Thunderbirds like sci-fi stuff. Just quirky and crazy kinda like the Venture Brothers. Once I bought into that type of mindset the movie became extremely enjoyable.

If you were the only one in the theatre older than 14.... then maybe.

I liked it. The soundtrack is great - I'm trying to find some place to buy Seu Jorge's other stuff (the guy singing the Portugese Bowie songs).

They have one of his CD's on Amazon. I think it's called California.

No, but I live in a land where people don't get out much (or aren't very aware.)

I also enjoyed it. It wasn't so much funny, although it had it's moments, but I'll agree about the sad and melancholy parts. It was pretty good.

Loved the first one, loved the second one.

?

I liked it. It was very random, which didn't go over well with some of the people I went with, but I liked it a lot. They killed main characters, who were barely scratched, like his sorta son, but Jeff Goldbloom, shot through the heart, lives.

At one point this guy I went with said about the guitarist, "aren't those all David Bowie songs in French?" It turned out it was Portugese, but was funny.

The gunfights were just hilarious, as were William Defoe(sp?)'s ever-present a-little-too-short shorts.

It kinda reminded me of movies like Time Bandits in how wrong it was at times.

I loved that Jeff Goldblum part!

I just saw it; it was definitely a quirky movie, but I liked it. Though it really ticked me off that I couldn't figure out what time frame it was set in. Was it the seventies? Now? I couldn't tell.

The cutout of the boat sides was great too for walking around the boat, it was hilarious.
