Quote :

"The resolutely single Don has just been dumped by his latest lover, Sherry. Don yet again resigns himself to being alone and left to his own devices. Instead, he is compelled to reflect on his past when he receives by mail a mysterious pink letter. It is from an anonymous former lover and informs him that he has a 19-year-old son who may now be looking for his father. Don is urged to investigate this "mystery" by his closest friend and neighbor, Winston, an amateur sleuth and family man. Hesitant to travel at all, Don nonetheless embarks on a cross-country trek in search of clues from four former flames. Unannounced visits to each of these unique women hold new surprises for Don as he haphazardly confronts both his past and, consequently, his present."

This is the new Jim Jarmusch flick starring Bill Murray and a whole gaggle of women, including but not limited to Tilda Swinton, Sharon Stone, Francis Conroy, and Julie Delpy.

It's got an 8.1 on IMDB, 87% on RottenTomatoes, an 80 on MetaCritic, and it won the Gran Prix at Cannes this year. Should be hot.

Opening at Galaxy Cinema this Friday, 08/19/2005. I'll put up the showtimes once I have 'em.

hey
are you guys getting "deep blue"?

i figure since penguins is doing so well
perhaps the ocean can get some lovin'

film just looks beautiful

8/15/2005 3:11:04 PM

you should make a galaxy thread
so we can get the scoop on when cool new movies are coming out
and then i can go see them and smile awkwardly at you when you take my ticket

8/15/2005 3:15:50 PM

We've got promotional materials for Deep Blue, but that doesn't mean much.

If this shit continues much longer, Crossroads might start taking the documentaries out from under us. But we'll probably get it.

^ Aha you win the contest for awkwardsmilingcustomerness

8/15/2005 3:17:59 PM

i'd smile awkwardly too

8/15/2005 3:19:50 PM

Is it just mean or is it really awkward to type out "awkward"?

Aaaaaanyways, showtimes are at 1:00, 3:10, 5:20, 7:30, and 9:45.

8/15/2005 4:02:51 PM

TOMORROW, BITCHES!!

8/18/2005 5:15:11 PM

I just watched it, and it was pretty good up until the end. I'll discuss that part when somebody else has gotten to it.

p.s.

WHO THE SHIT IS KINGSLEY ZISSOU?

8/19/2005 1:13:06 AM

^ Sounds like one of the guys from that crazy submarine movie Bill Murray was in.

8/19/2005 1:16:36 AM

8/19/2005 1:17:55 AM

this looks terribly depressing

8/19/2005 1:27:47 AM

It isn't depressing.

It's pretty funny.

I mean, I can see how it would be depressing if you were middle aged and unhappy, but I doubt you are.

8/19/2005 2:04:08 AM

This movie is POP U LARRRRRRRRRR.

8/20/2005 5:59:25 PM

is this at the galaxy?

8/20/2005 6:48:32 PM

on a scale of worthiness

meaning worthy of its mass "appreciation"

where do you think it rates

like, are people going ga-ga for it because its bill murray + some director whose movies have been too small for them to see in the past (a la lost in translation) ***note, this assumes people don't realize its the same guy who directed fucking Ghost Dog***

or is it really a fine film that people are truly appreciating

because i still think if they had sat on the script for Larger than Life and went with a more indie director, that film, released today, would be like heaven to some people

not that Larger than Life isn't heaven to me

and thats because i've been a bill murray fan since i was like 10 --- and not beacuse of ghostbusters

8/20/2005 7:25:24 PM

Well, there's a difference.

There's mass appreciation.

There's mass anticipation.


There's a lot of people coming to see this movie. Not as many as penguins, but more than any previous independent film we've had.

As to whether they'll actually like it, I dunno. It's pretty funny on the surface, I think. I think people will like it for the most part.

8/20/2005 7:56:55 PM

BUT HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO LARGER THAN LIFE

because if i understand correctly, they're very similar in theme

8/20/2005 11:51:00 PM

To be honest, i haven't seen Larger Than Life.

Or maybe I did but I don't remember it.


I'm guessing it's better.

8/20/2005 11:55:44 PM

its the one with the elephant man

you'd remember

and that SHOULD read "elephant, man"

but instead, i'd rather write this addendum than add the fucking comma

because i'm a rebel

8/21/2005 12:03:50 AM

In a thread about "Broken Flowers," a film starring Bill Murray, Woodfoot declares himself a rebel.

"Rebel Rebel" is a David Bowie song featured in "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," a film starring Bill Murray.
