Much better than expected. I’m not a big fan of Wes Anderson’s but it’s only because I’ve only seen one other of his movies. That being the awesome “Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou”. The reason I wasn’t too geeked up for this movie is I’m not a fan of either of the Wilson brothers. They always play the exact same character in every movie and Owen’s nose is very unsettling lol. With all that said this was very good. Not close to Steve Zissou, but that can’t be expected.

So far Wes Anderson is 2 for 2. Guess I’ll have to finally break down and check out Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. Gonna add Rushmore to the top of my netflix list now. Right now I’ve got Stand and Deliver(1987), Buffalo Soldiers(2001), and Igby Goes Down(2002) on the way. Not real interested in Igby Goes down, probably move it down…alot.

Ok I’ve watched the first two episodes of this show and I can say with certainty that “mentalists” are…well, mental. Why do they ALL have to give that look like somebody stuck something up their ass, and they like it, but they don’t wanna admit or even acknowledge that something is currently up their ass. Like they know some deep dark secret that no one else could ever know.

The guy above is like the master of this look. I have dubbed him and his look the “Uri Douchebag” look. Get it…Uri douchebag…You’re a douchebag…cuz his name is Uri…well I found it fuckin’ hilarious.

Last night Criss Angel went off on one of the performers and it was glorious. During this guys performance I was laughing the whole time. Way over done, and…well laughable and Criss Angel called him out on his “gift”. Not sure why he rubbed Angel the wrong way for him to attack him(verbally) the way he did. My guess is he’s not a fan of the douchebags who use a person’s grief over a lost one and uses that to his advantage. Oh, his “gift” is he can talk with the dead.

There have been a few good performers. The needle in a haystack guy, the Russian roulette guy(his performance was better than the chicks), and watching Raven Simone freak the hell out over and over again. Good stuff. Not a great show, but I’m a fan of magic/illusions/mentalists so I’ll continue to watch.
