The first trailer for Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic was released the other day, to much online acclaim. It looks like a great movie, but I wasn't really hugely impressed with the trailer; it was cut almost beat for beat to the template of the Royal Tennenbaums trailer, which was great the first time around but here feels a bit perfunctory. I wish there had been more of Seu Jorge's cover of David Bowie's Starman in it; I hear he sings a lot of Ziggy Stardust in the movie, which will be beautiful to hear.
Far more enthralling is this perfect trailer,for David O. Russell's I Heart Huckabees. I have no idea what to expect from the movie after seeing this, except something completely different.
Amy and James finally stopped procrastinating and are re-opening their restaurant in its artsy new location tomorrow morning. If you're in DFW, or anwhere in Texas or the surrounding states, you should come out for the Grand Opening whatever. If you don't know what to order, ask for the thing that David ate on Thursday, because it was seriously the best thing I'd eaten since the bowl of cereal I'd had the night before.
