    Yeah... it's a nice little line up. 2046 sounds very interesting.

    And The Life Aquatic is a film I've been looking forward to for a long time now. I'm a big Wes Anderson fan... although I did find the Royal Tenembaums slightly disappointing.

    His next project is a stop-motion animation adaption of The Fantastic Mr. Fox apparently...

    Saw 2046 the other weekend. It looked interesting and it sounded interesting but god it was awful. Basically the trailer is the only interesting bit in the film, everything else is just one night stands told with really bad dialogue.
