I love The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou so much (like I love all Wes Anderson movies).  It's one of the free On Demand movies on cable, and I'll probably watch it every chance I get.  Here are just some of the reasons this movie is so awesome: Bill Murray as washed up Cousteau-wannabe, Anjelica Huston as smarty pants modern woman, Cate Blanchet as preggers journalist, Willam Defoe as a hardass German sailor, Jeff Goldblum as nemesis, Owen Wilson as Air Kentucky pilot, David Bowie songs in English and Portuguese, revenge plots involving dynamite, soundtrack by Mark Mothersbaugh (formerly of Devo, OMG, I just learned on IMDB that Mark also composed the Peewee's Playhouse theme!).

My absolute favorite scene is when Bill Murray, in a metallic blue wet suit, puts on his helmet and says, "Supposedly Cousteau and his cronies invented the idea of putting walkie-talkies into the helmet. But we made ours with a special rabbit ear on the top so we could pipe in some music."  As he pulls out the antenna "Ping Island/Lightning Strike Rescue Op", an song by Mark Mothersbaugh for the movie, starts playing and Bill Murray starts dancing, just a little, in the most hilarious way.  Listen to a clip of "Ping Island", track number 16.

We bought the MP3 of "Ping Island/Lightning Strike Rescue Op" and every once in a while, we'll stick it in a playlist when were hanging out in the office.  It's a great song.  I love computer beeples.
