Maybe you are just no that into He’s Just Not That Into You* and you are looking for another romantic-ish, funny-ish movie to see this weekend. The Oaks theater in Oakmont is showing The Royal Tennebaums this friday and Saturday night. This is a serious/hilarious film from Wes Anderson that is worth a look or a second look if you have already seen it.

And because I like to find a Pittsburgh connection for most of the posts on this blog – I had to do some searching on this Pittsburgh connection but I found a good one. – Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies, the best resource for sports and mini pony info in town, has a post about the removal of playoff beards that is a reference to the Royal Tenebaums (video and comments are also available here).

The Royal Tennebaums is fantastic! That, along with The Life Aquatic and The Darjeeling Limited make a fantastic weekend of movies.
Also, on a side note, I don't know if it was my RSS reader or not, but the feed was stuck from over a year ago, and just now updated. Everything looks good now, thought you'd want to know.

When this movie first came out I was the only person in the movie theater laughing. Three couples actually got up and left. They clearly don't know what life is all about.

I adore that movie. And no, not He's Just Not That Into You.
