Move in....../ life aquatic

moving sucks. I have realized after this first real change of location that from this point on, I will start to throw away anything that has no significance. This is going to be a big time saver. I figure the time that it is going to take me to determine if an object is of any value + the time that it is going to take me to throw it away is going to be much less than the time that it would take me to move it the next time I decide to pack up and live somewhere else. The first thing that I need to consolidate is clothing. I have so much crap that is either to big, to small, or just not the slightest bit flattering. I have never considered myself to be interested in popular fashion, but I have a crapload of clothes, and that needs to stop. I gave away 3 bags of clothing this weekend, and it is sill piling up.

One of my first adventures yesterday was a trip to the new blockbuster that I will be visiting now that I have moved. My original intention was to rent "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou", but I ended up buying it instead. This was not a hard decision, as Wes Anderson is normally making movies right up my alley, and "Bottle Rocket" is one of my favorite films.
I found that this film was just as intriguing as all other movies by Anderson, with a bit more quirkiness at times. Specific moments that pop out to me, the pirates taking over the Belefonte, and SteveZ's escape and gunfight with the Filipinos, and the "Cross this line if you are leaving" speech near the end of the film. Wes Anderson tries to draw on your emotions in this movie by stressing the difficulty that SZ has in the possibility that he is a father, as well as the loss of his best friend Esteban and the latter loss of Ned (Kingsley). This fist loss is the reason behind SZ's search for the shark that has eaten his best friend yet, also, this shark is the object that makes this movie and its comedic insecurities possible. Thumbs up on this one, but you have to be in the mood, and understanding of what you are about to sit down for, and don't miss the CGI graphics used to create the sea life.
