Fantastic Mr. Fox in USA Today

From USA Today via The Rushmore Academy. By the way, I just recently started a personal Wes Anderson marathon on my iPod. (That is, I like to call it an iPod. It is actually a hand-held electronic Deal or No Deal video game. Just kidding!) I started with the original Bottle Rocket short film, then Bottle Rocket -- which I feel lacked only in having no references to Starsky and Hutch -- and Rushmore. Anyway, here is a quote from the USA Today article: The much-expanded plot has been tweaked to include many elements found in Anderson’s other films, including a dysfunctional clan and a male rivalry. The four Fox children in the book have been whittled down to one handful: Ash (Jason Schwartzman, channeling his Max character from Rushmore), a petulant social misfit who wears a superhero cape and resents his cousin Kristofferson (Eric Chase Anderson, Wes’ brother) for being good at everything. I need to read the original book. Wait, what is wrong with me? No, I don't. I am an independent thinker! Would I read it if it weren't for a movie hoping to generate money in relation to said sale of book? ...Oh, well. Guess I'm going to the bookstore...
