Title: The Life Aquatic
Post by: Vudak on December 29, 2004, 12:20:14 AM

I'm not going to spoil anything for you all...  Just HIGHLY suggest that you go see this movie.  It's funny - an almost different sort of funny, but funny.  Damn funny actually.

Go check it out.

I think you'll find it the best of the three, personally.

I was wondering about this one.  I was reading the Roger Ebert reviews of this and other flicks.  Not that reviewers are ever right...but I like Bill Murray.

Darn, now i have to watch Stripes ;)

Saw it a coupla hours ago.

Maybe one of the best movies I've seen this year. At least nothing better comes to mind.

I'm really looking forward to this movie, as it was written by Noah Baumbach, who also wrote "Kicking and Screaming" which is still one of my favorite movies.

Too bad I'll have to wait for the DVD

I also highly recommend seeing Life Aquatic. Definitely a rich, funny movie with a lot going on. Would probably take a couple of viewings to catch everything.

I actually managed to get to the theater to see this. It was by far the best movie I've seen in 2005.

Really though, it was a really good  movie, Willem Dafoe was cracking me up... I spent so much time laughing, but the rest of the theater was kind of quiet.

I normally hate Jeff Goldblum, but thought he was perfect in his role.

The movie was very entertaining, but the humor was subtle.  I know a couple of people that would really hate it because they'd find it very boring.  I spent most of the moving laughing quite loudly.

There were parts of the movie where I was laughing uncontrollably, but I have no idea why... for instance, the Scene where Klaus salutes Ned in the Helocopter... I can't tell you what was so funny about that exchange, but I still laugh about it when I think back.
