what Barry Lyndon ref

The Radioheads are massive in the Man community (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 23 August 2012 20:43 (thirteen years ago)

I didnt hear that, just 10 mins of commentary.

Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 23 August 2012 20:47 (thirteen years ago)

Only two I'd rank:

Fantastic Mr Fox
Rushmore

the rest reek in some way

a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 23 August 2012 20:49 (thirteen years ago)

no, the rest are good in some way, still havent seen MK goddammit

Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 23 August 2012 20:51 (thirteen years ago)

The shot of Olivia Williams walking up to Bill Murray during the vietnam play intermission is lifted straight from BL xposts

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Thursday, 23 August 2012 20:59 (thirteen years ago)

Another lift (and all I remember from checking out the commentary once nearly 9 years ago): The scene were Max is on the payphone and the school cop hangs up for him was taken from Wiseman's High School.

tenenbaums ftw. i also love the life aquatic. for the longest time i would say that anderson was my favorite filmmaker and something about his Romanticism -- the fact that most of his films concern, in one way or another, the conflict between the individual's idiosyncratic vision of reality and reality itself, the sort of classic quixotic conflict that is a source of both tragedy and comedy -- still speaks to me a great deal.

Good Godfather II joke in that clip above.

clemenza, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 17:44 (twelve years ago)

if i housesat for wes anderson i would barf somewhere secret

szarkasm (schlump), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 23:55 (twelve years ago)

tenenbaums is really the only one i'm inclined to want to see again nowadays. i haven't seen the recent ones (fox, moonrise, etc.). rushmore didn't hold up, imo. life aquatic did nothing for me. darjeeling has some wonderful parts but doesn't ultimately deliver, though it seems like a more modest film than some of the others so i appreciate it more.

marcos, Wednesday, 7 August 2013 14:31 (twelve years ago)

see fox

Dr Peter Who? (darraghmac), Wednesday, 7 August 2013 15:23 (twelve years ago)

possibly his best imho

joe schmoladoo from 7-11 (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 7 August 2013 15:27 (twelve years ago)

love love love 'fantastic mr fox' and still really like 'rushmore.' liked 'tenenbaums' at the time but in retrospect it feels like the point where anderson started making films that were basically collages of his favorite things (salinger, 'eloise,' etc etc).

FMF sucks cause fox is slick instead of smart. it is beautifully made, though. i liked the wolf.

szarkasm (schlump), Wednesday, 7 August 2013 18:56 (twelve years ago)

FMF is slipping into the 'now overrated' category for me

Number None, Wednesday, 7 August 2013 21:51 (twelve years ago)

i could spend the rest of my life never seeing another nouvelle vague homage and die reasonably happy

very sad.

reading the book now. wonderfully put together.

Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Friday, 11 October 2013 02:32 (twelve years ago)

great cast

I kinda wish he would make a sci-fi film. but then I wish this about most directors I like.

Hip Hop Hamlet (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 14 October 2013 22:38 (twelve years ago)

i wish he would do a spy movie or a heist movie or hard sci fi or something

bottle rocket is sort of a heist movie

Hip Hop Hamlet (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 14 October 2013 23:39 (twelve years ago)

new one written by wes with no collaborators - is that a first?

just sayin, Tuesday, 15 October 2013 11:04 (twelve years ago)

bottle rocket crazy underrated in these results

That there are 12 people who think that's the best he's ever done is sad, sad, SAD.

eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 15 October 2013 14:08 (twelve years ago)

bottle rocket is sort of a heist movie

I remember when it came out, it definitely was marketed as a loser/thief 90s crime/comedy.

Lover (Eazy), Tuesday, 15 October 2013 18:14 (twelve years ago)

yeah it's almost like a parody of Tarantino or Boondock Saints or something

Hip Hop Hamlet (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 15 October 2013 18:16 (twelve years ago)

he should do a parody of Bourne or Oceans 11 or something

ᶓ͠סּᴥ͠סּᶔ ᶓͼ᷆ₓͼ᷇ᶔ (gr8080), Tuesday, 15 October 2013 18:18 (twelve years ago)

isn't that Fantastic Mr. Fox

Number None, Tuesday, 15 October 2013 18:20 (twelve years ago)

i actually don't really like 'bottle rocket' all that much -- there are a few nice scenes but overall it feels pretty insubstantial.

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Tuesday, 15 October 2013 19:58 (twelve years ago)

yeah it's weak sauce imho

was thinking of creating a lol poll for Best Wes Anderson Music + Slow Mo Scene

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 20 November 2013 18:49 (twelve years ago)

definitely the shaving scene

William Brosinski (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 20 November 2013 18:57 (twelve years ago)

dunno i think the "These Days" or "Everyone" from RT could trump it.

Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Wednesday, 20 November 2013 19:05 (twelve years ago)

Or Max getting off the service elevator and parking his gum to "A Quick One While He's Away".
