movie review: moonrise kingdom

woke up early and went for a bike ride (wait, i thought this was a movie review? it is, this will make sense shortly).  it was windy, but not crazy windy.  still, windy enough to make me want to turn around.  i just kept on heading into the wind, knowing i would at least have it at my back on the way home.  my body felt drained. my legs felt like noodles. no matter what i did i couldn't get comfortable.  i was going to do a big ride, i ended up doing about 35 km.   at least i got out there.  i came home and slept like a mofo, which helped. i still feel drained, i don't know why. probably my crappy diet.

so, moonrise kingdom. it was completely pleasant and fun, unlike my extremely not pleasant and unfun bike ride.  i have always like wes anderson movies (except for darjeeling limited, i just couldn't get into that one).  i think this may be his best.  i love the sets he uses, i like the tempo and feel of his movies.  the soundtrack to this movie wasn't as good as his others, but the story was good, and overall it was quite delightful.  i would totally recommend this movie.  

i would not recommend this morning's bike ride though.  it was wholly not delightful.
