Where's Bill? Jeff Bridges? I'm missing something...

It looks pretty fun -- people are starting to out Wes-Anderson, Wes Anderson.

I'm interested in seeing this one. I never saw Mr. Jealousy but I did enjoy Kicking and Screaming.

Today Noah Baumbach was on the NPR program Fresh Air for the second half of the program.

Mr. Jealousy was OK. Baumbah narrated it which gave it a note of desperation to me... like he made Kicking and Screaming when he was supposed to but now he's clearly too old but damn if he didn't make another movie almost just like it (but worse). The pretension starts here in my opinion. I'm looking forward to The Squid and the Whale but fear it suffer from being overly autobiographical. Who knows though, maybe i'm still just a bit mad at him for that Life Aquatic commentary track.

I hold both Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson responsible for the Life Aquatic commentary.

After listening to the interview on NPR it's hard not to view Baumbach as a youngish/mid 30's pompus snob. Couple him with the new and improved Wes Anderson and we have.....well...we have two smart, talented guys, who have lost the thread.
