Regardless of what you’ve been doing, my song doesn’t belong in your movie.

But it’s pretty obvious why Oldham or anyone might be annoyed with Anderson’s film. I love the guy, but it’s pretty obvious that he lathers on music like good and continues to be more unsuccessful with it as time goes by.

All of the Kinks and Rolling Stone songs in Darjeeling? Awesome.

Awesomely placed? No, aside from the funeral moment (which is not perfect, but is better), all the songs seem pretty haphazardly thrown in there.

I love the Dassin song at the end too, but a french pop song comes out of nowhere and does not fit the tone at all and yes, i get that it’s trying to connect to Hotel whatchamacallit it France.

That said, the music in Darjeeling is less obnoxious than it is in Life Aquatic.

A bad performance has ruined a film for me before. Poor directing, cinematography, script, uneven tone, all that has made me say, “I didn’t like it.” But bad music? None that I can think of.

Sure, it’s a valid criticism to make but music is less important than other elements in most films. I’m not going to think a movie I’m enjoying sucks just because the Black Eyed Peas come up on the soundtrack.
