Royal Tennenbaums easily did. Bought him a lot of breathing room. You know that Life Aquatic and Rushmore are in the black by now on ancillary revenue streams. Fantastic Mr. Fox will be soon, if not already. Darjeeling. Who knows. But none of his movies are so expensive that people balk. He's currently financed by a sharp, sharp businessman out of NY. When you operate like he does outside the studios, there's a lot of fat that's cut.

And before their latest run, the same could be same of the Coens first five films. But yeah, it's a weird world in indy financing for sure. Interesting to see what the Duplass brothers do for the next few films.

I liked Cyrus for sure. The script for Jeff Who Lives at Home WAS in the library a while back, I have to say I really enjoyed hearing about their approach of letting the actors run with a lot of scenes. I'll have to try it that way sometime, see if it works
