guess i'll just rejoice



i watched for the fourth time in two weeks this morning,
"The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou"..
another Wes Anderson film,
same guy who did "Rushmore", "Darjeeling Limited",
"The Royal Tannenbaums", etc..
there is a charm to his films unlike anything else i have seen,
dealing with similar themes in every story,
depression, life's purpose, wanting to be loved, death,
the oddities in relationship, imagination,
all imbibed with intelligent humor..
my friend Blake thinks this film is his best..
i wouldn't argue too much,
Darjeeling is my favorite..
why am i writing this today?
i don't imagine this is very interesting..
what?
do i fancy myself a film critic now?
maybe i am just feeling a little dark,
a bit like a character in one of these films,
maybe the Adrien Brody's character in Darjeeling?
restless and almost sad for some reason,
with no real reason to be at all..
guess i'll just rejoice..
