Morbs, I know you think just because you watched Showgirls I'm going to watch The King of Comedy, but it ain't gonna happen.

haha, I watched Showgirls about 2 years ago, I just had to chime in when I saw that fucking book title.
What if I leave you a copy of tKoC in my will, boo?

this was by far the most enjoyable of the last few WA movies for me because it was at least on a visual level a change of pace but i totally get where Veg is coming from. i can't think of any respected director who's as relentlessly straight-jacketed into his own aesthetic.

This is my best friend's favorite movie and she made me watch it last year when I visited but I didn't have the heart to tell her I hated it and so pretended it was great until I fell asleep and I think she caught on.

The only laugh I got from a recent WA film was Bill Murry as the lawyer.

Woody's output over the last decade has been far worse but it at least there's some unpredictability there, some hopping around into different genres, different approaches to storytelling, casting, etc. Wes is just headlong down this echo chamber where even the 'quirks' and details of each movie feel increasingly plucked from this readymade kit of stock Wes Anderson characters, actors, storylines, camera angles, music cues, etc.

Pretty easy to hate some WA stuff but this is one that seems really weird to get riled up about.

watched the Criterion blu-ray of this the other night, it was an Xmas gift for our 7-yr old. He loved it, I thought it was better than it was the first time I saw it. completely entertaining throughout and there were more details i picked up on this screening. and the visuals are the best of any Anderson film I've seen, it's just a very beautiful looking fall colors kind of movie. love the wolf bit near the end too. I think WA's aesthetic really works for this film, and unlike some of his more recent films (most of which i actually do enjoy a lot despite saying this!) it makes his aesthetic seem fresh.

He's a maker of (consistently) excellent rather than all-time great films. FMF maybe comes closer than most. My controp is that he's never made a less than good film
― imago, Wednesday, 9 January 2019 19:32 (five years ago) link
Isle Of Dogs is a more than worthy follow-up though
― imago, Wednesday, 9 January 2019 19:33 (five years ago) link
your controp is i think correct. i guess The Life Aquatic and The Darjeeling Limited are considered his least worthy films, but i thought they were both good.
― omar little, Wednesday, 9 January 2019 19:40 (five years ago) link
as did i
recently watched the grand budapest hotel and was richly entertained by that too, and that's a bit of a punching bag
― imago, Wednesday, 9 January 2019 19:41 (five years ago) link
I've seen this movie more times than I can count now, thx to my kids, and I have to say it still holds my interest, it's always so nice just to look at, and it is very well paced
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 9 January 2019 19:51 (five years ago) link
grand Budapest really doesnt have any reason to exist but i mean its still p wonderful
isle of dogs is great
fmf and tenanbaums tied for his most complete works
moonrise kingdom great and i expected meh there tbh
― topical mlady (darraghmac), Wednesday, 9 January 2019 21:22 (five years ago) link
Grand Budapest was not at all what i expected from the trailers, i expected a bit of a quirky hotel-based whodunit and not some weirdly alternate universe intrigue thriller comedy with an earned non-manipulative bummer ending.
― omar little, Wednesday, 9 January 2019 21:37 (five years ago) link
Grand Budapest Hotel, FMF, and Rushmore are all I need.
