love aquatic and mr. fox... the other ones are great in their own quirky ways too... except bottlerocket... regardless of how you feel about his brand of story telling and cartoonish salinger-esque characters you cant deny the expertise of his cinematography... its a shame he gets thrown in with the "indie scene"... even if he did create it... theres serious attention paid to detail that you dont see with your run of the mill "hipster"
check out mr. fox if you havent! i know alot of my friends were reluctant cause it was a "cartoon"... but its actually a really funny movie for any age
i watched the darjeeling limited over the weekend for the first time since the theatrical release. it's not his best, but it's a damn good film with beautiful cinamatography and as usual, outstanding soundtack.
I like some of his stuff, but I think a lot of it is quirky for the sake of being quirky. Over time they've started to feel a little formulaic. Good movies, but he sticks with his style, which is really all that sets his movies apart. I don't find the plots themselves all that interesting, it's just the way he tells it that makes them so. I wouldn't call him a one trick pony or anything, but I'd like to see him evolve some. I don't think he's really expanded on what he's trying to do, he sticks with what has worked. It's one thing to have a style, it's another to have a template. I wouldn't want him to become just another Hollywood director, but I'd also like to see him just not repeat himself.

The Royal Tennenbaums took a little while for me to fully appreciate it, but what a good movie! Moonrise Kingdom, on the other hand, I loved from the start and still love.
