A Descent into Dullness

I think this is now my favorite Wes Anderson movie. Its just cussin' brilliant. I can't recall ever reading the book as a kid though, I don't think I ever got into Dahl. The titular Mr. Fox is a chicken- and thief who goes into a less risky line of work after getting married and having a son. But he ends up going back to his thieven' ways after he moves his family to a new home near the three meanest and richest farmers around...

Clooney meshes well with Anderson's cast of regulars and the animation is just perfect. The whole movie is wonderful and smart and fun and moving and funny and clever. And it even has an excellent sound-track. Though I can't recall an Anderson movie that doesn't have that...

Just got back from seeing The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou with my friends Brandon the Comic Shop Clerk and Brendan the Comic Shop Clerk. But for rival comic shops...

Anyway, great movie. I still like Wes Anderson's first movie best, but I think this one was actually the better movie. Bill Murray is fucking hilarious and even Owen Wilson shows more range as comic actor. Oh and Anderson owes the director of Buckaroo Banzai a buck for stealing his end credits scene...
