Random Comment: I didn’t like The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Andy stopped watching it partway through. Had high hopes for it after so many people liked it.
I’ve heard other people echo that sentiment, but I really enjoyed it.
My friends thought I was insane for really liking Syriana, in fact I think they resented me for dragging them there.
I wanted to see Capote really bad but couldn’t convince anyone to go, sheesh. Nice work on this years list :)
Since making the list, I have decided that Capote and Syriana are at least tied and possibly in reverse order, but they are both great, so I am not going to bother changing things… =)
