Wes Anderson is easily my favorite film maker today. That sheer awkwardness and moments of complete discomfort are a forte that only he can claim to have. I hate saying I'm a "fan" of anything or anyone, but I have to admit that every time I hear of a new film by him I feel like a little kid at christmas.

Interesting video. Why didn't the press secretary of Anonymous who spoke the commentary for that video, mention the archer's name a few times more? I have forgotten it already. What was it again? Lars Ulrich? Wes Anderson? Homer Simpson?

Two of my favorite film makers are PT Anderson and Wes Anderson. The two things they have in common in my mind, aside from the surname, are far-out films, and every few years they release around the same time. I'm certain it's the same genius, and he's been pulling one over on all of us this whole time.

"Bottle Rocket... I still haven't seen that one." I had to *promote at this point, as a Wes Anderson lover who hasn't seen it

The full version of that Wes Anderson ad is up, and I don't believe it's been sifted yet. You'd better get on that, before a certain chimp decides to beat you to the punch.


Thanks Sarzy, owe ya one!

Ha, thanks!

I really doubt this is movie-related at all; I'm sure it's just going to be a commercial for Pepsi or something. And I'm glad -- there can never be a true sequel to Ferris Bueller's Day Off since John Hughes died. Doing a sequel without Hughes would be like doing a Rushmore sequel without Wes Anderson, or an Annie Hall sequel without Woody Allen.

Every time I see a Wes Anderson movie trailer - Tenenbaums, Zissou, Rushmore, Fox, Darjeeling, and this one - I think, "That looks like a movie I'd really enjoy," yet I've never actually managed to see a single one of them.
I'd plan a Wes movie night, but I suspect that characteristic flavor might get a little stale by the end of a binge.


Do Rushmore at least. Great flick, very bittersweet and a lot of fun... to me it tastes a bit "Harold and Maude"-ish.

Oh god I'm looking forward to this now. Please be better than Darjeeling (and Zizou too, kinda) !!

Wes Anderson hasn't really made a decent film sine The Royal Tenenbaums, which is now 11 years ago! Hopefully this will be a return to form. When his movies are good, they're very good, but his output is pretty uneven.

Really? I'll admit that I'm pretty much alone in thinking that The Life Aquatic is a masterpiece (it's my favourite of Anderson's films), but The Darjeeling Limited was pretty well regarded and quite enjoyable, and Fantastic Mr. Fox was absolutely delightful. You didn't even like that one?


No, you are NOT alone!!! There are a handful of films that I will watch on a pretty regular basis and Life Aquatic is one of them. It's everything from hilarious awkwardness, to the settings, the sets, the odd dialog, the Portuguese Bowie covers, Bill Murray in general, the MILF quality of Anjelica Houston, and Michael Gambon's small part is just PERFECT. PERFECT I TELL YOU.

Esteban!! Esteban!! Esteban!!

I enjoyed Fox and it was better than either Darjeeling or Zissou. Whereas I saw Darjeeling in the cinema, and then entirely forgot it existed within a week, there was something about Zissou that stayed with me even though Tannenbaums and Rushmore are head and shoulders above it. (Rushmore is my favourite btw)
