I had no problem reading the names during the credits. It must have been a projection problem at your particular screen?

I finally caught this Monday night and yeah, I pretty much looooooove it. Stumbles a bit in the final act, but so very worth seeing.

I didn't enjoy this as much as some other Wes Anderson films, but then my screening was subject to an extraordinary amount of disruption and poor behaviour by fellow audience members/others blundering into the wrong auditorium or entering too early for the next show. OK, people bring babies in (presumably OK if the certificate allows - not that the baby would be watching anyway) but never before have I known an adult to change a baby's nappy on the floor, in full public view!

I loved this. I stayed right till the end of the credits, no extra scene but just loved the music.

9/10

although I think I missed the first 5-10mins, there was a really long queue at the box office at 11am and I did ask if it had started yet before getting the ticket and he said there was still 5 mins but I guess there were hardly any trailers as it had already started when I got in there :(

I'm still absolutely gutted I missed this at the cinema. Anderson rarely puts a foot wrong IMO and Rushmore and The Life Acquatic both crack my top 50.

I eagerly await the DVD release.

I wasn't sure if I would like this as the only Wes Anderson film I'd seen was Fantastic Mr. Fox and I thought that was too Americanised. I absolutely adored this though. Couldn't stop laughing at how seriously the ridiculous situations were played out by the actors - 'She stabbed me with lefty scissors!' Also loved the distinctive way it was shot, with loads of quick panning and immaculate framing. One of my favourite films of the year.

9/10

Saw this in Glasgow tonight thanks to a competition win from Emerald Street. Great to see teddybear1 + OH and also, stuartboy who only makes it Glasgow for special occasions! The evening started well with private bar with drinks :beer: and crisps . . . then bottles of water and popcorn :popcorn: as we entered the screening.
I have to say that I did enjoy this film although it was a little whimsical. Acting by the 2 main children was very impressive, particularly as there were so many Hollywood stars in attendance. (I have to say that some of them are beginning to show their age! :shifty: )
There were a number of moments which caused me to laugh out loud eg the Treehouse :giggle:
This was a gentle film even more so 'cause the latest film was Sinister which couldn't be a greater contrast.
I would not be unhappy if I'd pa*d but would not rave about the film either.

Oh, forgot to say I saw it!
Typical Anderson. I saw all his films and this is probably one of my favorites!
I haven't much to say about it. I just loved it. :)
