I think it's the kind of humour Aussies (and Kiwis too FYI; they love a bit of deadpan) are used to. Deadpan, sarcasm and irony work really well over here. :DClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582941175959917063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548104013308470439.post-16592830215391436992012-09-17T17:51:27.126-07:002012-09-17T17:51:27.126-07:00CLAIRE: That's quite interesting how your Aust...CLAIRE: That's quite interesting how your Australian audience reacted to the film. Perhaps you are more attuned to the subtleties of humor than we dense Americans are!

I love the way Wes Anderson frames every shot as if it were a painting and the music is fantastic. I guess the humour is more suited to an Australian audience as the whole cinema was laughing out loud for rather a lot of the duration. Edward Norton was great and the young red head kid who got stabbed cracked me up. :)<br />I'm a real fan of Anderson's so I suppose I'll always find something to love.

And yeah, they seem to be using the term "comedy" loosely here--but like I say, it's deadpan. So "deadpan," in fact, it's almost deceased!Timoteohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351410966396854582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548104013308470439.post-29494336339194267162012-07-25T22:50:50.374-07:002012-07-25T22:50:50.374-07:00I ended up seeing Moonrise tonight.

My friend and I laughed outloud a number of times, though I agree with you that this film wasn't in any sense a comedy. (Why on earth would it be listed as such?) I agree with you about the over-the-top lightening scene. That should have hit the editing floor before the movie was released. I'd rate the movie an A.ArleneWKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442303488097811495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548104013308470439.post-66849662469997397372012-07-23T17:22:02.494-07:002012-07-23T17:22:02.494-07:00ARLENE: It will certainly be cheaper to see from N...ARLENE: It will certainly be cheaper to see from Netflix, and no inflated popcorn prices.<br /><br />ELSIE: "Adultolescent"...isn't that a great term?

Even though you gave the film a B+, I find myself less anxious to see it than after reading about it on a movie site. I think I'll wait for it to hit Netflix instead of rushing to see it in the theatre.ArleneWKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442303488097811495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548104013308470439.post-6899319292895481582012-07-18T14:43:28.236-07:002012-07-18T14:43:28.236-07:00I think you'd like Willis in this one--he look...I think you'd like Willis in this one--he looks, and acts his age (57).
