What do you mean James? And I don't know why you were so hung up on the cigarette smoking? Anyways, I completely agree with karina in saying that "The Darjeeling Limited" was Wes Anderson's most personal work since "Rushmore." I love Wes Anderson's films but I have never been able to be completely satisfied by any of his works after seeing Rushmore (The first movie of his I watched). After seeing Darjeeling I was completely satisfying and it's interesting because I can't fully explain why that is as I couldn't with Rushmore. P.S. James, All of Wes Anderson's soundtracks are amazing so please with Rolling Stones comment. Self-indulgent? What do you mean James? And I don’t know why you were so hung up on the cigarette smoking?

But this is not an action film, I do want to see some character study or at least some sense out the nonsense. I just don't get that. Being an ex-cigarette smoker myself, I must admit I find all this cigarette smoking a distraction and Swartzman could have exchanged glances with the Indian girl another way. Also, why not really show India since you're over there. Why not hit the landmarks like the Ganges River or the Taj Mahal. Angelica Huston looks better than she has in years and I'm sure her father is smiling down on her. He liked those cigarettes, too. In fact, he suffered quite greatly from that addiction, enough of preaching. Also, did we really need another Rolling Stones song?
