I haven't had the desire to watch any new Anderson film in about a decade now.

Didn’t get to see the Welles film yet, might have voted for mark cousins Welles doc

This was superlative. My #5 but 4 was a split decision between that and the other best animated flick of the year. Wes Anderson is great and fuiud

If anything, the mise-en-scene of IOD reminded me a bit of David Hockney's variations on Chinese scroll painting, where multiple events are happening within the same frame, and in a horizontal, left to right direction.― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 5 April 2018

this looked nice but suffered from usual wes anderson short-comings: no character development, unearned moments of emotion, rote plot with a chase and a crazy plan that just might work etc. i found myself sort of bored and done with it by the time they left the island.feel like he's the one director who is most guilty of the novelist's crime of writing the same novel in various different ways.also orientalist as hell and wes anderson is cancelled obv― jim in vancouver, Monday, 9 April 2018

My review of this literally said it was one of the best films of the year, and then I didn't vote for it, or consider voting for it. What a difference a year makes.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 17:56 (four years ago) link
I voted for 22 films, this might indeed have been 23rd.

Was big on Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums at the time, but just lost my taste for him, I guess. Moonrise Kingdom looks appealing, though, so maybe it'll hook me back in.
― Herman Woke (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 26 June 2019 17:59 (four years ago) link
it's... fine? the animation was endearing, the plot and baked in tweeness notably less so.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 26 June 2019 17:59 (four years ago) link
Moonrise and Fantastic Mr Fox are two of his four best imo
― quelle sprocket damage (sic), Wednesday, 26 June 2019 18:00 (four years ago) link
(with Rushmore and Royal)
A mark of how much I liked this: it was almost as good as FMF
― imago, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 18:01 (four years ago) link
Oh, I did like Mr. Fox. Weird that I stopped there, though, as I remember thinking that his films were just kinda getting to be the same thing over and over again, and that film certainly wasn't that.
― Herman Woke (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 26 June 2019 18:02 (four years ago) link
Mr Fox and Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom are top tier. Mr. Fox might be his best ever imo
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 18:02 (four years ago) link
yeah i'd keep Fox and Tenenbaums and burn the rest
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 18:03 (four years ago) link
Grand Budapest Hotel is the post-Tenenbaums film of his I love the best
― Dan S, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 18:06 (four years ago) link
Gonna show The Grand Budapest Hotel in class tomorrow. I'm not a fan, but I'd rank it with Rushmore and Fantastic Mr. Fox
― recriminations from the nitpicking woke (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 26 June 2019 18:06 (four years ago) link
Rushmore is the best i think, Fox is a solid #2. But i think all his flicks are worthwhile. GBH is not what i was expected when i saw it, and all the better for it. Aquatic/Darjeeling are iirc considered his least worthy but i liked them both. Moonrise a step above those, Tenenbaums is one i never totally warmed to but it's good.

― quelle sprocket damage (sic), Wednesday, 26 June 2019 18:13 (four years ago) link
Support the Girls kinda ran out of steam for me in the last half hour, but up until the point where Regina Hall leaves the film for a decent chunk of the third act, I was loving it (I wondered if the film either needed a stronger resolution, or if it should have just dispensed with the whole idea of resolution). Give Hall more lead roles!― cryptosicko, Tuesday, June 11, 2019 My wife's reaction iirc was that it should be required viewing for anybody in a management position.― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, June 11, 2019

Regina Hall should've won more awards.

The resolution to the scene where he follows the guy home to confront him literally made me LOL.

I gotta retract this, actually. All the production photos made it look annoyingly beholden to Anderson but my wife got me to watch it and I enjoyed it. It might not exist without that aesthetic but it was charming enough I was able to put it out of my mind.
― Chris L, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 18:23 (four years ago) link
Still have no idea what people saw in that nothing of a movie. Regina King is a good actress but she had nothing to work with, utterly unremarkable... I didn't dislike it but don't understand the praise at all.

Madeline's Madeline? Holy shit! Stunningly great, great images, great ideas, great rhythm to it all. Loved the use of Caroline Shaw.There's just nobody else around delving into these aspects of performativity and empathetic storytelling the way she does.― Frederik B, Monday, October 1, 2018

Molly Parker is good, and she was terrible in this

I don't necessarily expect that much from the Garland adaptation of Annihilation, but I am interested to see how he handles the Biologist's perspective and some of the moments in which visuality seems to break down (like the encounters with the Crawler).― one way street, Monday, April 27, 2015
― one way street, Monday, April 27, 2015
this was pretty good. I think it might be an unfilmable book, though. too bad all of the creeper stuff was removed, and the mind control stuff taken out. I kept expecting JJL's character to snap her fingers and say a code-word. otherwise, what was her motivation? hand-wave, hand-wave terminal illness? my biggest overall complaint is that the psychedelia after the floaty alien thing (which was way cool) was droney and overlong. the homunculus was overdone, and the burning went on too long, and the plot could've been served better by more spacing at the beginning of the picture. oh well. maybe extended edition will have more of the initial disorientation stuff. it could also have less of Natalie Portman's back mid-affair.― remy, Monday, March 12, 2018
