Glow in the dark shark!

Digital Lungfish · 09-12-2005, 12:18 PM

I happened upon some news about a very interesting new shark species that was recently discovered. The shark (called the Fluorescent Chain Catshark) literally glows in the dark (very cool). I think this guy would make a nice addition to either Sharks: TOD or Jim's MA.

Here's a link to the story on National Geographic's site -> Fluorescent Shark Caught on Film

Hmmm...sounds like something from Life Aquatic.

Digital Lungfish · 09-12-2005, 11:19 PM

I'm guessing you didn't follow the link then because they make reference to that exact movie and the similarities between the shark that Bill Murray was searching for and this one.

Jim Sachs · 09-13-2005, 10:00 AM

You're right, I hadn't clicked on the link.

I saw life aquatic - I didn't like it, the movie. Think i might have fallen asleep and not watch the whole thing and not care...

Digital Lungfish · 09-13-2005, 04:10 PM

Haven't seen it myself, but it looked exactly like you described...boring.

Jim Sachs · 09-13-2005, 07:14 PM

I was strangely fascinated by it. It was almost as if they were making it up as they went along, like Caddyshack.

Some people love Wes Anderson movies. Some hate them.

Liath · 09-15-2005, 06:53 AM

Yep, I loved it

Digital Lungfish · 09-15-2005, 11:03 AM

I'm not against giving it a try, if I can find it for rent then perhaps I'll check it out.

Don't waste your time, DL.

Did you like Rushmore? The Royal Tenenbaums? Both are Wes Anderson movies with Bill Murray. If you did not see either of those nor did you see Lost in Translation, then The Life Aquatic might not be the first place you want to start with the 'new' Bill Murray.

Digital Lungfish · 09-15-2005, 11:50 AM

Well, unless you stick your toes in the water, you'll never know if it's cold or not. Not only that, but what's cold to someone else might not be cold to you.

But if you want to see a good example of the "New" Bill Murray in a great, quirky movie, watch "Broken Flowers".
