The Wonderfrul World of Wes Anderson! Wag-wag!

[Ya Krunk'd Floo]

Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors. Every mofo film he makes is original, funny, intelligent, stupid and holds an ironically beautiful delight in the absurd...Don't you agree? I thought so...

Anyway, I recently purchased a copy of the lovely 'The Life Aquatic' and it got me using my brain in a special way I like to call 'thinking'; What is your most special, touch-touch, oh-yes-please favorite film of his?

Couch, he's made 4 moogles...Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aqautic. All his movies exist in a twilight, retro-quirky-quoo world where everyone almost behaves like they are acting in a play. You can see the intention behind this by the way the 3 most recent movies open with the drawing of the curtains...The genius of this is that despite the almost faux-realism, the characters are totally involved in their world and there is no pretension that their 'life' is not 'real life'.

Anyway, if you don't like Wes Anderson's films, go and sit in the corner and count to 10. Once completed, take your sorry-ass to bed and count chickens before they hatch.

Oh, my favorite is 'Rushmore', closely followed by 'The Life Aquatic'. And you?

"What's your favorite yum-yum quote?", I hear you whisper...Well, it just so happens to be this:

Max Fischer: I like your nurse's uniform, guy.
Dr. Peter Flynn: These are O.R. scrubs.
Max Fischer: Oh, are they?

'Oh-You-Tea' spells...

rushmore was the best movie of the past several years, and definitely wes anderson's best film to date.

Max Fisher is one of the most ridiculous characters the world has ever seen...And to think there are people who thought Napoleon Dynamite was an eccentric character!

What did you think of The Life Aquatic? Willem Defoe, you beautiful fool!

Hated The Royal Tenenbaums but I loved The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Bowie sung in Portuguesa, what more could you want? His soundtracks are always perfect...Rushmore's got 'Ooh La La' by The Faces for ****'s sake!

Why did you hate 'The Royal Tenenbaums' so?

Why did you hate 'The Royal Tenenbaums' so?

I can't remember now. It's been a while since I seen it; I just recall not enjoying it. Might be Ben Stiller's presence. I may watch it again, though.
