I like The Life Aquatic but I'm really lazy and haven't watched any others yet :P

Life Aquatic and the Fantastic Mr. Fox are the only two I have not yet seen, so it seems we're at an impasse.

But seriously in the last three days I've seen the Royal Tenenbaums, Grand Budapest Hotel, and Darjeeling Limited (viewed twice, read the script once), and I need an outlet for my admiration.

I've only seen The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tenenbaums.
Both fun and entertaining.
Oh and Fantastic Mr. Fox, which might be an unusual one for him, which wasn't bad either.

All great... what about Moonrise Kingdom though?

Loved Grand Budapest. Unexpectedly funny and terribly charming. I felt like Grand Budapest was quite a thematic departure (granted, not a stylistic one) for him though--it certainly had the most apparent plotline, the most dialogue, and the least moodiness of his films so far.

See, I saw Moonrise Kingdom a couple of years ago and it really didn't do much for me, however, in light of my recent Wes Anderson enlightenment phase, I will probably go at it again.



I was on the fence about Rushmore too, but I liked Tenenbaums, so as a director I found him hit-or-miss until seeing Darjeeling on the plane like four days ago on my way back from my own escapist flight of fancy. Maybe that's why it hit me so hard, although I do not recall thinking that at the time.

Lol that was my introduction to Wes in the first place. I had never heard of him, and then one day Olivia sent me a text saying like "Don't you think Wes Anderson is the most pretentious director of all time?"

Then, I looked up a list of his films and realized that Life Aquatic had been in my queue anyways and watched it the next day. Oh, and then a couple days latwr I made her watch 2001.

Definitely give it another go if you get the chance, it's probably my favourite of his!

Why does she hate things just because she doesn't understand them?

She isn't really into movies, is she?
Wes Anderson is to pretentious movies what Slipknot is to extreme metal.
Good, though.

I hated Mulholland Drive because I didn't immediately follow it. I experience confusion as a physical sensation, and if I can't quickly resolve it, it gives way to a feeling of frustrated stupidity. Which I find hateful and painful.

As a result, me and David Lynch films are not good friends. I'm not saying it's right, but I get it.
