Episode #14 - The Darjeeling Limited
Special guests Colin and Sarah McW! Aaron is coming in and out as well.
Andy: “Wes Anderson one of my favorites for a long time now. Somehow I totally spaced on seeing this over the winter when it was out, but I got the day it came out on DVD. I hear there’s a memorable scene involving Natalie Portman that I for one am looking forward to.”
(and for those of you following at home, we are leading with the Part One short film, “Hotel Chevalier”)
Colin: Dear Jason Schwartzman. You have a moustache and you’re dating Natalie Portman. This really shouldn’t be this angst-filled. (0:01)
Andy: This music is awesome. (0:04)
Colin: This is like the gum-chewing scene in Wet Hot American Summer. (0:07)
Aaron: You can actually see that she has one less rib on the left side in that scene.
Sarah: It’s called the Eve Defect. (0:11)
Sarah: Wow! That was a short movie. (0:12)
(short film over - onward to the movie)
Colin: I love those taxis! They’re the best fucking thing. Also, Bill Murray.
Sarah: Bill Murray?
Andy: Bill fuckin’ Murray.
Colin: Bill mother fuckin’ Murray. (0:01)
Andy: He’s going to shoot a movie about a gorilla.
Sarah: Who is that?
Colin: That’s Adrien mother fuckin’ Brody
Oscar: I always mix him up with Clive Owen.
Colin: That’s because they’re the same person… actually, I can’t think of what Clive Owen looks like.
Oscar: He looks like Adrien Brody! (0:03)
Stacey: What’s going on again?
Andy: They’re on the Darjeeling Limited.
Colin: Wow, thanks, Andy. (0:09)
Oscar: I had a guy tell me pretty much exactly that at Pino’s in Cleveland Circle once.
Colin: Were you talking in German?
Oscar: No.
Colin: Well, then, he was out of line. (0:12)
Andy: No effing way am I this bad.
Colin: Oscar, all I’m saying is don’t travel to any foreign countries with Andy. (0:19)
Once again, we are quietly enjoying the film. Sarah’s asleep.
Andy: (to Colin) I see you, me, and Dave doing a trip like this sometime in the future.
Colin: Not entirely out of the question. (0:46)
Colin: …and this is where the already-quiet crowd goes utterly silent as the movie rips into a serious tone. (0:51)
Colin: (after a discussion about the new Postal movie) Oscar, you are like IMDB with voice recognition, and you edit out the boring parts. (0:54)
Lots of quiet observation and laughter.
Andy: I kinda had the feeling she’d be playing the mum. Just had a hunch. (1:17)
Andy: Oh, Jason Schwartzman co-wrote this. Now I understand why he has sex with Natalie Portman in the beginning of the movie. (1:27).
Oscar: How many fucking Coppolas are there? (1:28)
Oscar: I always find myself forgetting how funny Wes Anderson movies are. Even now I’m recalling the melancholy Kinks-y parts, and tomorrow I’ll forget completely, but let it be known that this movie is totally funny. 3 Orders of Eggs
Andy: Some day I’m going to sit down and watch every Wes Anderson movie. Fantastic. And I never thought I’d see Adrien Brody better than King Kong, or Owen Wilson better than Life Aquatic, or Jason Schwartzman… yeah. 3 Peacock Feathers.
Sarah: zzzzzzzzz… 1 Long Nap.
Colin: I’ve never seen a movie obstimbly set as a travelougue that depends less on its location. That said, I 2 Bourbons out of a full Moxie.
Jackie: Good movie. I’d like to see it again. 2 Men With Very Large Beards.
Aaron: After a sweeping pass at this movie I picked out very few strange transience. 6 Bands. (note: Aaron did not see the movie, and we wish him the best of luck on his MIDI final project at Berklee)
Stacey: If people were always on time there wouldn’t be movie here. 1 Deadly Poisonous Snake, 1 Step Closer To Home
