"Eight Dollars? That's Not Bad!"
Jeez, I haven't seen the original Bottle Rocket short in 15 or 16 years. L.M.Kit Carson, who helped Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson with the funding to complete it (and who got it into Sundance and showed the short to Polly Platt, etc.) showed me a tape of it, as I recall. And this isn't even the whole thing.

A kick to see these guys looking so young.
An apology to Baron Munchausen by proxy is waiting back in the Angel Heart thread. I'm posting this in a couple of places (not too many) so he'll hopefully see it. Sorry Baron, I'm a dumbass.

Wesley Wales Anderson is a manipulative narcissist who steals from his friends and then betrays them. He should die in a car crash.

It shows what you can do with a great story and a limited budget. I also like what James L. Brooks has to say about discovering this new voice (from the Criterion website: http://www.criterion.com/current/posts/886). It helps me understand why Wes stuck to his vision for Fantastic Mr. Fox.
When I first saw the thirteen-minute video I was dazzled-- the language and rhythms of the piece made it clear Wes and Owen were genuine voices. The possession of a real voice is always a marvel, and almost religious thing. When you have one, it not only means you see things from a slightly different perspective than the billions of other ants on the hill, but that you also necessarily possess such equally rare qualities as integrity and humility. It's part of the package of being a real voice, 'cause what your voice is real, you can't screw around. The voice must be served; all other exit doors, marked "expediencey" or "solid career move," are sealed over, and the only way out of your inner torment is genuine self-expression.

that should be "cause when your voice is real" and "expediency". I had to retype the whole thing into the comment box as every time I cut and paste I got an "invalid for UTF-8" error and lost it all...

Not that this should sway your opinion, but you might be interested to know that martin scorsese named the full-length Bottle Rocket one of the ten favrotie films of the 90's.
I know people who don't like the film. In fact, they hate it. These people don't have particularly active imaginations or patience for anything beyond obvious humor. They watch American Idol.

I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots, and so I ask you to confirm me as your President with your prayers. And I hope that such prayers will also be the first of many. If you have not chosen me by secret ballot, neither have I gained office by any secret promises. I have not campaigned either for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency. I have not subscribed to any partisan platform. I am indebted to no man, and only to one woman -- my dear wife -- as I begin this very difficult job.cheap tiffany co jewelry
