On Tuesday night, I saw Moonrise Kingdom.
It was one of the cutest movies I've ever seen.
Y'know what's in that basket? A kitten.
I've gotta admit, I spent a lot of the movie worrying about something happening to that kitten.
I blame The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Which I hated.
But this post isn't about a movie I hated.
It's about a movie I loved.
So anyway.
One of my very favorite actors in the world and one of my earliest crushes, Edward Norton, is in Moonrise Kingdom! Yay!
He is LIT-trally the only man on the planet who could make high-waisted khaki shorts look good.
I loved the storybook aspect of the movie-- interestingly, none of these books actually exist as published works, Wes Anderson just wrote passages from them, but he's currently working on a side-project of animating the books that Suzy brought with her. Yay!
I absolutely loved the whole movie. Although it did make me a little melancholy that these two twelve-year-olds did so much to be able to stay together, and it made me very conscious of the fact that I don't currently have someone to go on adventures with.
(Except my best-friend-in-the-whole-wide-world, Marissa, of course. But I mean a male someone. A male someone who isn't one of my cats. You know what I mean.)
If you saw Moonrise Kingdom, what did you think of it?
This awesome piece of embroidery is one of my favorite quotes from the film.
Have a fantastic evening!

Moonrise Kingdom has been like... my everything this summer. First saw it on a date (best best date movie ever), saw it again when I was sad to cheer me up, I listen to the soundtrack all the time, and I have a poster above my bed... I just love Wes Anderson so much.
ReplyDeleteAnd Anderson DOES have a trope of killing the dog in his movies, so I guess worrying about the cat wasn't too far off.
I feel bad about not having talked to you really since graduation, but I do read your blog and lurk. I do hope you're having a good summer, it looks like you're having a blast spinning yarn! I, on the other hand, still have the most amateur knitting skills ever and cannot master ribbing, it's sad. Knitwear is MOST DEFINITELY not in my future, haha

Kaaaatieeeeee, I miss you in my liiiiiiiife! Of COURSE you love this movie-- it's so you. I'm sure you'll get better at knitting, it took me a little while to get the hang of it too. I'm only brave enough to start trying lace patterns now, years after learning to knit!
