  1. I'm sorry to hear about your brother TM. Any time's a bad time to lose a loved one, but it's especially hard losing family just before the holidays.

    I always look forward to your year-end movie list Trevor. I just saw The Darjeeling Limited New Year's Eve and liked it a lot. All of Wes Anderson's films have basically: the same cast, the same writers (usually Anderson and one of the Wilson bros.), the same slow-mo shots with hip, jangly rock playing etc. If you don't his style, you're probably better off avoiding his films altogether.

  2. DL has grown on me a bit more since seeing it. I LOVE The Life Aquatic and the Royal Tenebaums. Of course, with The Life Aquatic I think I'm going against the critical consensus.
