This movie is great, except for one heinous scene. Let me set the stage. Many years ago I noticed that if one tattooed the name and/or likeness of one's current squeeze on oneself, that relationship was doomed. In my brilliance, I decided that if I were ever to get a tattoo, it would be a series of girl's names on my arm, each with a line through it. That's hilarious, if I do say so myself. I have told lots of people about this.
Anyway, the above described tattoo is a visual joke in The Life Aquatic.
I've got to get back to work on my script....
