The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou is an enjoyable film. Don't let anybody tell you different. While it may fall short to other Anderson features, it still has it's own quirks and beauties that have been overlooked in the mediocre reviews. It is one of the most vibrant and visually pretty films of the year, and Bill Murray is truly outstanding. The story may lag at times, but thus is the nature of a Wes Anderson film, people. Stop complaining, what more can you ask for? It is not the best film of the year, but it certainly should remind everyone that a fresh and witty man like Anderson is still pushing the dark comedy to it's extremes. And the soundtrack rocks, because I am reviewing it for the Daily [Bowie covered acoustically by a Portugese black man? Yeah bra.]

Everybody wants Scott Peterson dead. this is justice at it's finest.

Everybody also knows that the Golden Globes reflect the forthcoming Oscar nods almost identically. The definitive list is led by masterpieces like Sideways and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

James Brown having cancer = can't make fun of him for beating his wife? Oh, what serious illness will do to a public image. I see a "James" biopic already in the grimy hands of Paramount execs.

The Killers appear on TV again? Oh my! Suck in the pangs of elitism and watch the reruns of "Hard Rock Live" -- a much better treat than their blase performance on Conan or their contrived cameo on the OC.
