Wes Anderson, Divider

So last night I went to see The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou in Silver Spring, MD. Silver Spring used to be quite a dump, but they've really rebuilt the place (it actually felt a bit like Tokyo, but without all the Japanese people), and the new movie theater was doing a lot of business. Waiting in line, it was a very diverse group--out of about 200 people in the lobby, I'd say it was 60% black, 20% Hispanic, and 20% white.

The team in The Life Aquatic, however, was 100% white. It was strange--do only white people like Bill Murray and smarmy, self-smart films? I have no idea, but it was weird.

As for the movie itself? Pretty good, actually, probably the best Wes Anderson film yet.
