A Smarmy Trend about 1 year ago

I really like the way he produces his films, in my point of view, Wes is imaginative, creative, hyper-stylized, surrealist sometimes, extremely detailed in his stories and tell it as best as possible. He always makes the choice of an original comedy that flees the standards of commercial cinema. If this is a defect or virtue, leaves the audience to decide.

But this does not mean you have to go around spreading hatred, there is several films that I hate, but I don’t call the director things like smarmy, boring, pretentious, hipster …… you don’t even know him personally how can you say this (?)

And if you dislike a one or two Anderson’s film, why still watch the others? just saying…

Wes Anderson: Where to Start? 12 months ago

I started with The Darjeeling Limited, then Hotel Chevalier, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou – In that order

Rushmore is my favourite, then I recommend you start with Rushmore, but they are all an excellent entertainment, good luck with your project.



My thought: Oh god, I don’t know what my feelings are doing, help Wes Anderson help

Which directors have the worst fanboys? 11 months ago

Tarantino, David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton

It’s been a long time since I stopped reading reviews about them because 8 between 10 boys will argue and say that the film is good, even if it’s bad, and they are annoying with this as much as fangirls with their Boy Band.
