I enjoyed Jason Bateman's mustache in Darjeeling Limited. That is all.

I think I've only liked Ben Stiller in one film. Wes Anderson can even make poo poo shine.

Ben Stiller is barely in that movie. It's more about RDJ's character and fat Tom Cruise. Tropic Thunder is an alright movie.

"What are you wearing?" "These are O.R. scrubs." "Oh, are they?"

I think he's a racist rich little poo poo who's done the same movie over and over, except one time he added pedophilia. That said I'm kinda ambivalent.

He does neuter his actors though in the name of style but shut at this point Who wouldn't take that paycheck.

Bill Murray’s roguish hamminess is so endearing it'll never get old. I love it when he hits that note over and over

Potentially relevent. Best part: quote:Anderson had tried to stay positive but recalled that [Bill] Murray had actually come to set, even when the actor was not involved in filming, just to protect the director. “You were not scared of Gene,” Anderson said to Murray. “I noticed early on so I started asking you to come be there. I remember, there was a scene where Gene goes for a walk in the park and I looked up on the top of this rock and you were standing with a cowboy hat watching the set. And you were just there to show solidarity and I was very touched by that.”

I don't like the weird CGI action scenes that Wes Anderson does sometimes. It's like he tries to make things look like miniatures but not really. Moonrise Kingdom had some of that and Budapest Hotel was even worse with its sled scene.

I like acoustic versions of classic rock songs sung in portuguese by black guys in speedos on boats. That's not just art; it's magic.

I've seen every Wes Anderson film except for Rushmore (will see soon) and Bottle Rocket (eh) I tend to prefer the really stylized, artificial ones, Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom are my favorites and Fantastic Mr. Fox is awesome too still love Royal Tenenbaums though for some reason I never get that excited for his stuff though. it's like "oh another Wes Anderson film" and then I see it and I love it and I forget about him for another 18 months

I don't really like his movies. Aesthetically pleasing but in a style that gets tiresome. His fascination with people from the bumfuck northeast is baffling since they just aren't very interesting, but I guess that's all he knows so whatever. His scenes take too long for nothing. Characters staring silently and blankly at each other doesn't teach me anything about them and it doesn't advance the plot. One could argue that in any piece of art, what is missing is just as important as what's there, but you need that second bit for it to work.

generative grammer posted:The jacket can stay, the old lesbian hair must go He's really pushing me towards getting a nice Herringbone sports jacket. I mean I have one now, but the sleeves are too short and the lapels are too wide (Thrift Store). The buttons are pretty cool, I may save them (leather Turkish Knots). I wonder if his closet is full of labels

Wes Anderson films are great, for me, since most of them are pretty funny but also manage to have a fairly deep plot and good characters. The humor is always very dry, and really you have a pretty good film without even going into the humor. Life Aquatic and Royal Tenenbaums are two of my favorite films of all time. I bought Ned's stoplight skullcap and I wear it pretty much every day during the winter. The first time I watched a Wes Anderson movie was while I was having a bunch of dental work done in my early teens. Dentist gave me video headset and had never seen a Royal Tenenbaums before so I picked it, watched the whole thing and the dentist pulled the headset off literally the second the credits rolled. The only thing that could have made that better would have been to watch the movie high on NOS.

Darjeeling limited is my fav mainly bc of the scene where it all goes to hell and the scene at the autoshop.

TheJoker138 posted:In terms of use of color......Vertigo is brilliant with it as well. The Grand Budapest Hotel is 40% Alfred Hitchcock shots and the shots of carol reed See Night Train to Munich and The Third man and All of hitch cocks early films and then re watch the grand Budapest hotel and you can clearly see he likes to mock him self.
