Wes Anderson - Moonrise Kingdom

I still think Rushmore is his most quintessential film.

The Bottle Rocket short film is one of my favorites. The full-length movie is good, minus that slapped-together romance bit.

He should be raped by a grumpy bald Scottish fox for that massacred Dahl atrocity.

Gene Hackman gave hands down the best performance in a Wes Anderson movie. It cemented his place as one of the best actors EVER. His take on a wiley old coot really made the movie for me.

I thought The Darjeeling Limited was so incredibly bland that I was wondering if Wes Anderson had tricked everyone into thinking he was the shit. But Fantastic Mr. Fox was a genuinely good time. I'll see anything with Ed Norton, Moonrise Kingdom will be watched.

Is Mark Mothersbaugh doing soundtrack?

let's start our own club.

Its either this or Jack and Gill. Was there a time where holywood released funny comedy movies or was that just a dream?

Now, I actually enjoy Jason Shwarts, but does he just play his hipster-self in every film? Is that his "thing"?

Keeping in mind that try not to say that word as much as you jaded nerds do.

yes. this is why i have a hard time watching "bored to death". the show can be funny, but his acting just gets more and more irritating.

this movie looks underwhelming, but i guess that's part of wes's style. i loved the life aquatic, hated darjeeling, and feel so/so about the rest. this will be worth a watch. great cast, as usual.

I quite like that show, but you really do have to turn off to the fact that J S is just on cruise control as an indie dude. Ted Danson is great though.

I'm sorry but being cynical and complaining about hipsters is the new hipster. I'm starting find comments like this just incredibly cringeworthy and embarrassing, on a similar level to what I used to find "hipster" behaviour.

It really just isn't cool, smart, funny, or in any way positive, to slag off something in a discussion that is designed to praise it.

Maybe I'm just getting old.

*sigh*

You're not getting it, I was being the bitter old fart here.

quite the contrary, the emo embolism you're experiencing fits quite nicely in a Wes Anderson thread

lol

Yeah... I'm getting too old for this... I should've just left it like I normally do...

just teasing a little of course

His films have that golden-age-of-Europe-films charisma where actors play with that cool, relaxed approach, something from the light side of things, and well made in sense of theme, and story-flow. Much more enjoyable to watch than most other H*Wood light-hearted style movies. It would be nice to see his talent deployed on a more serious theme though, still retained by his subtlety and imagination. But maybe I watch to much drama lately. But I'm sure Moonrise Kingdom will be ok, as I I enjoyed Rushmore.

there is a lot of truth to this.

anti-hipsterism is pretty bad, because anything can be hipster and people will instantly and blindly back you up for using the arguement reguardless of the scenario.
