Yes, you’re officially old now. Ten years ago today, Wes Anderson’s “Rushmore” came out in limited release in New York and L.A., thus making today the 10th anniversary of the film. Time flies, huh? The film opened wide February 19, 1999, but it is considered a 2008 film and was eligible for Oscars that year (Bill Murray earned himself a Golden Globe nomination that year, but he failed to nab an Academy nod). Being a slobbering Wes Anderson devotee and fetishist is annoying and gauche, no doubt, but we’d be lying if we said this film wasn’t near and dear to our hearts (the rest of the work afterwards, not so much). We were planning on doing an inaugural Playlist podcast about the film for today, but we’re a little backed up. Expect it hopefully tomorrow or over the weekend, but we’ll try and save you from bombardment society like we did with “Bottle Rocket.” But yeah, it’s ten years old now and you’re ten years older than you were. Basically what we’re trying to say is… we’re not sure if we’ve met anyone like you before.
This is a great Mark Mothersbaugh track, but the sweet spot doesn’t really start til :22 seconds in.
