Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman in Rushmore (Wes Anderson, 1998)
Cast: Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Olivia Williams, Seymour Cassel, Brian Cox, Mason Gamble, Sara Tanaka, Stephen McCole, Connie Nielsen, Luke Wilson. Screenplay: Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson. Cinematography: Robert D. Yeoman. Production design: David Wasco. Film editing: David Moritz. Music: Mark Mothersbaugh.
I didn't get Rushmore the first time I saw it, but now, having seen most of Wes Anderson's subsequent films, I do. The problem is that it still leaves me a little cold. Part of my trouble with the movie lies with its central character, Max Fischer, who as played by Jason Schwartzman and written by Anderson and Owen Wilson begins as such an obnoxious twerp that it's hard to switch allegiance when the film eventually turns him into a sympathetic figure. It's difficult, too, to see why Olivia Williams's character, Miss Cross, puts up with him so long. My suspicion is that Williams didn't quite understand what Anderson and Wilson were going at with her part -- maybe she didn't get Rushmore either. As a result, we see her torn between two inappropriate suitors, Schwartzman and Bill Murray, but playing her part as a conventional romantic comedy heroine. Fortunately, everyone else in the cast, including such splendid actors as Seymour Cassel and Brian Cox, is completely into the loopy world that Anderson has created. There are those who think that in his later movies Anderson has either gone too cutesy or atrophied into a kind of zaniness for zaniness's sake, but I'm not one of them. I think he has learned how to superimpose his eccentric stories on the real world so that they work as the kind of satiric commentary that doesn't quite come off in Rushmore.

'The actor Paul Mescal has declared that director Ridley Scott is a “king” ahead of the release of the long-awaited sequel Gladiator 2, which he confirms has finished production.
Playing the lead character in Scott’s sequel to his ‘Best Picture’ winner, Mescal is due to appear as Lucius, son of Maximus’ love Lucilla, with Connie Nielsen returning to her role from the 2000 film. Being billed as one of the most highly-anticipated movies of the year, Mescal is joined in the stellar ensemble alongside the likes of Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn and Derek Jacobi.
Mescal revealed more information about the movie in an interview while on the Bafta red carpet, stating: “Ridley’s doing his editing and everything…it was an absolute honour, Ridley is the king, especially in that format, that scale of film… I’m incredibly proud of the work we did together”.
Providing a little more detail on the movie, he addresses Ridley Scott’s statement that Mescal’s character will fight baboons in the forthcoming film. “Well, Ridley’s said that I fight baboons, so I’m not going to get in trouble for that! Unless it’s on the cutting room floor”.
Mescal is attending the Baftas in the hopes that he might take home the award for ‘Best Supporting Actor’ for his performance in the British indie hit All of Us Strangers.
Telling the story of a screenwriter who, while suffering from writer’s block, heads back to his old family home only to come across the ghosts of his long-deceased parents, All of Us Strangers is nominated for six Baftas. Directed by British filmmaker Andrew Haigh, the film stars Andrew Scott alongside Claire Foy and Jamie Bell, with Foy also up for a major award at the Baftas.'

WA Watch: Rushmore (1998)
I figure this is me and my nephew in about 8 years
Watched:  07/16/2023
Format:  Streaming Amazon
Viewing:  Unknown
Director:  Wes Anderson
Recently, I was watching some old Bugs Bunny cartoons, circa 1940, and I was surprised to see the name "Charles M. Jones" in the credits.  While "Chuck Jones" is synonymous with WB animation, he's really associated with a certain artistic style and flair that is characterized in certain styles of background, character design and with his comedic timing in everything from "What's Opera, Doc?" to The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.  But there was his name in plain text.
He had not yet timed how long it took an anvil to fall or for Wile E. Coyote to hang in mid-air before plummeting for maximum comedic effect.  He hadn't quite gotten the rise of an eyebrow or a sly look to the viewer.  But.  It's there.  
Jamie was the one who requested a watch of Rushmore (1998) a film we saw together way back at the Arbor IV upon its release.  And we've watched a number of times over the years.  And, for her, it was an academic exercise in "what was he doing in 1998?  and how does it true up to what's there in 2023 with Asteroid City?"
It's interesting how Anderson springs into a form we all would have been fine with here in 1998 and with his second feature (after the excellent Bottle Rocket).  He's locking in on some of the themes he'd return to (certainly distant, bad dads), certain camera shots/ edits, formal dialog fit more for a 20th century short story than a film in the naturalist mode, aesthetics of symmetry and retro-ism.  
It's also curious to ponder how much of the Wes Anderson story that Owen Wilson occupies.  The two were roommates at the University of Texas, and Anderson - maybe UT's brightest star in film - did not actually participate in the film program, but got a Philosophy degree.*  Bottle Rocket was a deep partnership between Anderson and the Wilson brothers and he'd co-star in the film as well as co-writing and appearing in Royal Tenenbaums.  And, of course, he appears in numerous other Anderson pictures, including French Dispatch, which I haven't seen yet.  
I assume the pacing of events means Anderson and Wilson wrote Rushmore while in their mid-20's to late-20's, and while there's certainly a level of goofiness to the proceedings and it is, in part, about a middle-aged man in a juvenile spat with a 15-year-old, there's some great character stuff that rings even more true here as I roll towards 50.  
I don't know that Anderson could do Rushmore again.  Maybe.  He's never quite given up on teen geniuses, including underperforming teen and adult geniuses.  He's still working through dead parents, bad parents, indifferent parents.  He's still invested in messy romance treated as a matter-of-fact.  I'm not sure a studio would be as ready to fund a movie about a teen and teacher with a complex relationship in the last 20 years.  
But, in general, there's nothing  - to me - about Rushmore that doesn't work.   
I'm glad it's shot in Houston.  Bleak, wintery Houston in all its no-zoning-laws glory and mix of industrial mess and bucolic park-like environs.  I love that dumb town.  
And, of course, it really gave the world Jason Schwartzman and a new view of Bill Murray.  Co-star Olivia Williams has remained feverishly busy, appearing in American works, from The Sixth Sense to Hyde Park on the Hudson (reteamed with Murray).  
But the film also has Brian Cox, briefly Connie Nielsen, Luke and Andrew Wilson, and the late Seymour Cassel.  Sara Tanaka and Mason Gamble seem to have retired from acting - but I think Tanaka is a cardiologist now?
Anyway, 25 years later, the movie still works as well as it ever did, and at this point, it's much more than a curious artifact of Anderson's early work - it's clearly pointing the way he's headed.
  *Little tip for you brainiacs like me who burned through 5 years of college and panicked in their 4th year and also got a history degree

riverdale should do a keanu reeves homage ep/arc except only my favorite movies edition. betty goes dark and gets deep into the assassin underground in pursuit of revenge after polly is murdered (yes again). veronica fights her morals when hiram is revealed to have risen from the dead as the devil and offers her a spot at his new scheme business (reggie is both charlize theron and connie nielsen in this plot). jughead and tabitha go full constantine and its easily the best thing riverdale has ever put on our screens they would slay this so much. they constantly switch roles between constantine and rachel weisz, mr cypher makes an appearance, gabriel is abigail blossom. and archie finds out hes jesus YES AGAIN (plus toni is morpheus)

Connie Nielsen in Demonlover (Olivier Assayas, 2002)
Cast: Connie Nielsen, Charles Berling, Chloë Sevigny, Dominique Reymond, Jean-Baptiste Malartre, Gina Gershon, Edwin Gerard, Thomas M. Pollard, Abi Sakamoto, Naoko Yamazake, Nao Omori. Screenplay: Olivier Assayas. Cinematography: Denis Lenoir. Production design: François-Renaud Labarthe. Film editing: Luc Barnier. Music: Jim O'Rourke, Sonic Youth. 
Demonlover is a kind of message movie, and we all know the Hollywood truism about those: "If you want to send a message, call Western Union." But Olivier Assayas is not a Hollywood director, and his message comes through loud and clear. It's a familiar one: In the hands of globalized corporate capitalism, the internet has the potential to become a corrupting and alienating force. The film opens with a bunch of corporate capitalists luxuriating in business class on a flight to Japan to negotiate the rights to pornographic anime produced by a studio there. On the flight, Diane (Connie Nielsen) slips a drug into the Evian water being drunk by her superior at the Volf Corporation, Karen (Dominique Reymond), who collapses when they land in Tokyo. Diane then takes her place in the negotiations. It soon becomes clear that Diane will stop at nothing to seal a deal, but also that she's a double agent working for Volf's competitor, Mangatronics. Once Diane and her partner, Hervé (Charles Berling), land the rights, they begin negotiations with Demonlover, an internet company represented by Elaine Si Gibril (Gina Gershon), which also runs a site called The Hellfire Club on the dark web that specializes in torture porn and perhaps even snuff films. Diane's aim is to acquire Demonlover for Mangatronics instead of Volf, and she'll stop at nothing to do so. Unfortunately for Diane, her assistant, Elise (Chloë Sevigny), is also a corporate spy, and the spy vs. spy plot takes a bloody turn. Assayas isn't content to tell this story in conventional thriller fashion, so what we get involves a lot of disorienting camerawork and editing, and the movie makes its point with a somewhat disjointed ending. It was a critical and commercial flop, but the awareness that its message was prophetic has caused it to be reevaluated.
