I thought The Royal Tenenbaums was a brilliant, smart, funny movie. So was Rushmore. The Life Aquatic, on the other hand, was one long-ass boring and pointless movie. The trailer was funny and quirky. I'm not even sure that everything in the trailer was actually in the movie, 'cause I'm positive I laughed fewer times watching the actual movie than I did watching the trailer. What an utter waste of celluloid.
