Author Topic: The Darjeeling Limited Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-23-2007 01:52 AM                        This is a comedy which will appeal to artsy-fartsy "high brow" individuals. There isn't a whole lot that is funny about it, but there are a few scenes which might make you think about smiling. The characters are all pretty lame, which might be why they all smoke. Smoking = lameness, that is fact. The story was pretty boring as well. Never did I care why the characters were doing what they were doing. Whoever wrote and directed this movie is pretty uninteresting I imagine. Bill Murray is in it for NO REASON and so is Natalie Portman. Their appearances have nothing to do with the story or even logic for that matter. They're just there. I suppose the viewer is supposed to go "OMG ITZ NATALEE PORTMAN OMG THIS MOVIE IS GREAT LOL!!!1!" The characters are all idiots and deserve to die. No wonder their mom hates them. I'd run away to a foreign country and become a nun if I pooped out such imbecilic offspring as well. Spoiler That whole scene with the dead kid and his 3rd world village could have and should have been removed from the movie. It had no reason to be there. I suppose it was in there so Adrien "Emo" Brody could finally discover that he likes kids and then go back to his bitch wife and actually enjoy the little thing she is about to have. Nobody cares. Also Nobody cares about Ringo Starr's ex girlfriend whom he keeps checking the messages of as well. And nobody cares about Owen Wilson... not even Owen Wilson as he clearly felt the world would be better off without him. Another scene that should have been removed was them trying to get the car started at the shop for NO REASON to go to their dad's funeral when they were already on their way just fine. Assholes.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-23-2007 10:28 AM                     What is with the sudden viewing of current movies? This isn't like you to be so foolish.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 10-23-2007 01:13 PM                     Does this have to do with Jen?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-23-2007 04:49 PM                        Yeah. We were looking for some movies to watch and those are the ones we haphazardly picked. I don't think any good movies were out.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

And if that doesn't work, Owen Wilson with bandages on his face will keep me away from it too.  |  IP: Logged John Anastasio Master Film Handler Posts: 325 From: Trenton, NJ, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-07-2007 08:08 PM                        Just saw it at the Montgomery Theater. The print's already scratched, it looked like they were using a 10-watt bulb for a lamp and the whole picture reminded me of an extended cliche-ridden film school final thesis. You know it sucks when the Princetonians in the audience aren't just glowing over it on the way out.  |  IP: Logged
