I cannot wait to see this!

bbook:

“I knew he’d be good, but I can’t say that I expected what we got. I love watching him, and I get the impression people don’t understand that there’s actually a truly inventive and disciplined actor there, which I guess is great. I would hate to say too much and uncover the mystery.” - Paul Thomas Anderson

At one point I started crying because his acting was just so damn fantastic, it was frightening.

The Royal Tenenbaums in Print

“What characters? This is a bunch of little kids dressed up in animal costumes.”

family is a many-splendored thing… well, it’s definitely *a* thing, anyhow.

in honor of The Royal Tenenbaums’ impending blu-ray release, the folks over at Criterion assembled a gallery of the books and magazine covers that appear in the film.

“I have an idea that some men are born out of their due place. Accident has cast them amid certain surroundings, but they have always a nostalgia for a home they know not. They are strangers in their birthplace, and the leafy lanes they have known from childhood or the populous streets in which they have played, remain but a place of passage. They may spend their whole lives aliens among their kindred and remain aloof among the only scenes they have ever known. Perhaps it is this sense of strangeness that sends men far and wide in the search for something permanent, to which they may attach themselves. Perhaps some deep-rooted atavism urges the wanderer back to lands which his ancestors left in the dim beginnings of history. Sometimes a man hits upon a place to which he mysteriously feels that he belongs. Here is the home he sought, and he will settle amid scenes that he has never seen before, among men he has never known, as though they were familiar to him from his birth. Here at last he finds rest.”

― W. Somerset Maugham

I’ve moved around a lot in my life. I found this quote a few years ago, and I keep it in a place that ensures I see it often. These days, while I prepare the house to move, I think about Maugham’s idea a lot, hoping that the next place surprises me with the home I was meant to have.
