Consequently, I don’t have long to live.” Wilson CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 promoted, had little success in | theaters, but word of mouth gave it a cult following, and at the MTV Movie Awards, Anderson received the Best New Filmmaker Award. In May 2000, in Interview Magazine, Wilson talked about “Bottle Rocket.” “It’s nice to have someone come up and mention “Bottle Rocket.” Not many people saw it when it came out in theaters, but then it got a second or third chance on ca ble and video. If somebody comes up and compliments me on “Armageddon” or “Anaconda,” lit’s nice, but it’s ndt really the same.” Two years later, Wilson and Anderson completed their second film, “Rushmore,” a comedy about a high school student’s crush on his teacher. The same dry humor and de piction of oddball characters that characterized “Bottle Rocket” dis tinguished “Rushmore.” The cast ing of Bill Murray illustrated their growing reputations, and Jason Schwartzman's brilliant portrayal of protagonist Max Fisher pulled him out of obscurity. The film was not a success; in Interview Magazine, Wilson said: “That drives me insane that movies that are personal, independent-spirit, handcrafted movies, such as “Rushmore”, get thumbs-down, and then “Anaconda” and “The Haunting” get thumbs up. I can live to be a hundred, and I’ll never understand it.” Despite the failure of “Rushmore,” Wilson and Anderson didn’t give up their passion for making extraordi narily unordinary comedies. Wilson and Anderson’s third film, “The Royal Tenenbaums,” so lidified their reputations with its wit and memorable picture of a pe culiar family of geniuses played by some of the most respected ac tors in the industry, including Gene Hackman, Angelica Houston, Ben Stiller and Gwyneth Paltrow. . “The Royal Tenenbaums” re ceived a great deal of critical ac claim, finally proving there is a place in Hollywood for Wilson and Anderson’s inventive style.

Success is still slightly beyond your grasp. It’ll help to be frugal, so make the effort. TAURUS You’ve encountered this hassle before, but this time you’re not alone. A loved one provides the encouragement. Take a stand. GEMINI Don’t forget to do something you promised. It concerns either your place or one of your roommates. Postpone travel and romance until you’ve met this obligation. CANCER You and your friends can block a measure you oppose by sticking together. You don’t have to say much — except, of course, “no.” LEO This is not a good day to throw caution to the wind. The profit is in the details. Fine craftsmanship pays, and saves, in the long run. VIRGO You’re very perceptive but not very assertive. You didn’t used to be assertive, anyway. But that’s about to change —big time. LIBRA There’s plenty of love. It’s the money that may have you concerned. Don’t be afraid of the numbers. Face them squarely. SCORPIO You’ll solve your dilemma with the help of a couple of friends. One distracts your adversary while another helps you find exactly what you need. SAGITTARIUS You’re good, '■•id the task is still daunting. Not only is it tough, but your oi l methods won’t work. Ask.1 Virgo with power to teach you. CAPRICORN Your persistence is paying off! That, plus yc. ■ 1 hard work. A person you admire thinks you’re fabulous And it’s true! AQUARIUS You may feel as if you’ve dropped anchor. Your forward movement is stopped. Don’t tight it. Take time for appraisal, and add up your resources again. PISCES The others may argue about what they can’t have, but you know there’s always enough. It isn’t a matter of how much there is; it’s how you hold it that’s important. I I Russell House Theater.
