I think I have watched The Darjeeling Limited about 4 times. I simply love it. I hardly get any time to actually sit and watch anything but when I do I like pulling this movie out. Remember the first scene when Bill Murray is taking a taxi to get to the train? That is exactly how it is over there in India. Literally you can be driving 120 miles an hour and see a man walking in the middle of the road, a cow wandering aimlessly with little bells around his ankles or a person carrying 8 millions pounds of sticks on their head. None of these animals or people seem to give a shit your coming in their direction. It was the strangest thing and even scarier to be in the front seat next to the driver.

ahh i loved the feeling though. Our driver had some car that must have had a straight six in in. So we are halling ass and suddenly he stops. "We need gas"? No.. "time for tea". "Okay" getting out to pee in a hole in the ground with only 3 walls no roof but facing the road. (???) We sit and sit and sit drinking tea. Everyone is all laid back. You are not on American time my friends. You are on India time. I had about 6 cups and as we started to leave I said " I have to go to the bathroom again" Driver looks at me funny. I said " I can't hold all of this liquid in, driving into potential kill people without emptying myself. The man said "hurry" I said "excuse me"? Hurry? You just pulled over for an hour and now I have to hurry?.

I asked our interpretor to tell him I said "Yes sir" instead of any complaining. I didn't want to be left behind.

So back to the movie. Did you love it? Did you see it? Are you in love with Wes Anderson? I am. Angelica Huston looks simply fabulous with her white hair. I laugh every time i watch this movie. I do wonder who would have played the father had he been alive.
