This le quirky comedy with the same camera work is getting old
This le quirky comedy with the same camera work is getting old
He has the Tim Burton disease where he's ran out of stories to tell and has become too comfortable with his own style and no one telling him no
i get that he has a style but yeah, every time I see a new wes anderdon trailer I just roll my eyes now. The schtick is getting really old and it's just watching the same fucking movie again.
people make fun and parody style
he cries and says that all the videos are wrong and not his style
I don't care, he is doing something for a core audience that likes it, and he isn't trying to pander to everyone under the sun by doing shit like remakes or sequels or whatever. It's not my thing but this is a stupid thing to hate on in a world where shit like Lilo & Stitch remake makes bank.
I got like 30 seconds into Astro City before I finally decided I was done with him.
It's not art. Its self-indulgence.
He's so wrapped up in his own style it actively takes away from the story. Everything in Asteroid City felt so fake and entirely manufactured, it's interesting how Fantastic Mr. Fox, which was stop motion and about anthropomorphic woodland creatures, felt more "real" than many of Wes's more recent movies.
To be fair it makes sense in Asteroid City cause it's a meta thing, nothing in the movie is actually real. It's a reconstruction of a theatre play inside of teleplay.
I agree with you on astro city. its shit along with everything else of the last 10 years he did. but I unironically think this one looks like a return to form
I've always liked Wes Anderson's style. I'll see this new one at least twice in the theater and pick up the bluray when it comes out. Good times for me.
Doesn't that sound absolutely fucking retarded once you say it. Fuck him lmao
Oh my Science! More boring center framed dollhouses in a pastel color palette? Sign me the FRICK up!
That's not a comment about the movie. You can't say "um his style is getting bland." If his style was successful the first three times, it's successful the next five times. If the movie is good, then it's good. Fuck off.
Go to bed Wes
I don't think so, I thought it was interesting. Saw the film twice and basically how I understood it - a playwright writes a play which none of the actors even are able to understand. The playwright dies and a teleplay retracing the events of the play's production and the play itself is created to try to understand what the play was about, and they come to terms with the fact that everyone has different views on it. It's basically a movie about death of the author thing. Also has themes of how you can also never really understand any person in full capacity.
he's putting niggers and browns in his movies now, that was the only thing this hack had going for him, it's OVER
Wes Anderson's style honestly makes me want to puke. It's like someone forcing you to eat extremely sweet candy for 2 hours. its exhausting
youre a retard
Wes Anderson twee quirk aged out of relevance with Millennial indie scene and he hasn't noticed yet.
At this point he's just coasting until the wheels fall off. This is his only speed.
Neurotic fangirls seething and insisting that self-parody doesn't exist. Sad.
black men aren't black in wes anderson films, they act like awkward eunuchs. that whole cast is basically white
The Wes has fallen
hmmm you have a point
I loved some of his films but his last few things really didn't stick with me at all.
every single movie is 99.999% White
Is he our guy
Tom Hanks
Liev Schrieber
Can't watch anything with these two spirit cooking Epstein lovers.
That makes it sound even more ludicrous
If he was planning on doing absolutely nothing with the rest of his career, he should have retired on a high note with Grand Budapest. Honestly at this point, I think his only redemption would be to convince Owen Wilson to somehow write a new script for him. Then retire.
He is obviously not a chud, but his autism about the peculiarities of his style doesn't let him do some ghetto black movie, it just won't work.
For me it was French Dispatch. It's not that the films are necessarily bad, but they have has this distinct lack of svol since Life Aquatic and just feel like installation pieces. And he just keeps doing the same schtick over and over.
Yeah.
When you weigh Wes Anderson against the counterfactuals, he's one of the good ones.
I just fucking hate desert levels.
This is precisely the cancer ruining Anderson's films. He needs to take a huge break and come back with something genuine. Like Spike Jonze did.
lol he could shoot a basic drama in a different style if he wanted to, he just doesn't want to
enough of this
this is a stupid thing to hate on

It's my mom's birthday tomorrow and I'm trying to convince her and a good portion of my extended family to see this film. Is it kino or are people here just jaded?
I agree, but I cut him a little slack because this has happened to almost his entire generation of directors at this point. PTA and Fincher have been missing the mark harder and harder, the Coen Bros broke up and descended into mediocrity, Edgar Wright spiraled off into mediocrity and irrelevance. Tarantino hit the mark with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but that was like six years ago, and The Hateful Eight was mediocre before that. Lynch is dead. Killers of the Flower Moon was mediocre. It's really telling that the best of the millennial directors is Robert fucking Eggers, and I enjoy his films well enough but let's be real, his very best work would've been middleweight in the 90s or early 2000s
Film might be dead, bros
go to a restaurant
i doubt she wants to see some dumb neurotic wes anderson film, you are the token precocious Art Appreciator that annoys normies around you, just be normal
ya gotta find something that gives you that spark of life, a sense of hope friend. You seem relinquished to only watch years past Anon Babble catalogue. Maybe film was only a byproduct of 20th century modernity all along, that incestual inspiration of past classics can't save it. Though we have to find something new bright to dwell on, a new art form possibly of our own making, as Hollywood declines.
I'll stick to something more authentic and human like Yiyi
I think he's just kind of embarrassed how easily imitable his signature style actually is.
Yeah, it is well known Wes can't stand minorities.
another fucking nepo baby
Be glad an auteur is making actual films and not CGI race-swapped capeshit slop with a Fallout 3 color filter over it.
I was a huge fan of his from when Rushmore came out, then I discovered Bottle Rocket and loved it, then loved Tenenbaums when that came out. So when Life Aquatic came out I convinced my friends to go see it, and I was so disappointed. It seemed like his style had reached its final form with Tenenbaums, and was more enamored with detailed set pieces than telling a good story. I had to apologize to my friends for wasting their time and money to go see it. Since then I don't see his stuff in theaters, and the only ones I've really liked were Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, while the Darjeeling Limited was OK.

A decade ago a Anon Babble post like this would've been laughed out of the thread. How far we've fallen.
I'm tired of all those actors. Like how about some new and interesting faces and not hollyschlop faces for the 100th time who want to "act" because it's an Anderson flick. Reminds me of Malick movies were shitty actors suck cock so they can have a part in it, just to prove that they actually can "act". Fuck off Cranston, people are glazing him too much and don't even get me started on Cumberfuck.
jesus she is hideous. i had no idea she was kate winslet's kid. why cant they fucking hire attractive women anymore
Wes Anderson's X-Men now!
This is literally his only good movie.
Wes is basically the equivalent of a romance novelist at this point. Just churning shit out for his niche audience.
Lol, if anything nu-Anon Babble is the one filled with normalfaggots and capeshitters
Wes Anderson's movies at this point are just picture books narrated by a monotone bored boomer. The characters blend too much into the background, and no audience gives a shit about them.
