Ahhhh.
That’s me floating around on my post-Wes Anderson happiness cloud.
The Darjeeling Limited is out and you kinda have to go see it, like, right now. It’s so pretty and lovely and of the 91 minutes, there are at least 85 of Adrian Brody pouting and that in itself is a great movie.
Seriously though, if you don’t like Anderson movies, you’re not going to like this. But out of his work, I think I put this #2 on my list, right after Royal Tenenbaums which may always be one of my favorite movies ever of all time ever. TF is appalled that I’m putting it before Rushmore, but I am. Life Aquatic, you can come fourth. Or maybe I’ll put you fifth after Bottle Rocket. I don’t know, I’ll get back to you.
Speaking of lists, TF and I spent a good long while sitting in a bar, trying to come up with our top ten Elton John songs. I really have no idea why we did, or why it was so pressing and urgent that we do it then, in a local bar. But we did. Here is mine.
1. Little Jeannie
2. Tiny Dancer
3. Your Song
4. This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore
5. Levon
6. Don’t Go Breakin My Heart
7. I Guess That’s Why they Call it the Blues
8. Sad Songs (Say So Much)
9. Something About the Way You Look Tonight
10. Step into Christmas

Maybe I'll go see this. Seems we have similar tastes, except that I would put Bottle Rocket ahead of Royal Tennenbaums for nostalgia reasons. Life Aquatic: dead last.
Hi, I just happened to come across your blog while undergoing a routine search, and enjoyed reading it. I was searching for an Idiocracy quote. Thanks. I am not an Elton John fan, though...
