Trailer for Moonrise Kingdom is out
Of all the Wes Anderson movies in the world, this one might be the most Wes Andersonish.
― Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Thursday, 12 January 2012 23:43 (twelve years ago) link
Didn't start a separate thread for this as I'm kinda "enh" on this.
There must be some mistake. There are no Kinks or David Bowie songs in the trailer. Obviously, this is the work of an imposter.

In a statement, Cannes artistic director Thierry Fremaux announced that "Wes Anderson is one of the rising powers of American cinema, to which he brings a highly personal touch, particularly in 'Moonrise Kingdom,' which once again is a testimony to the creative freedom in which he continues to evolve. Sensitive and independent, this admirer of Fellini and Renoir is also in his own right a brilliant and inventive filmmaker."

Rushmore is still underrated by some. Beautiful, touching, inspired comedic filmmaking.

― kate78, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 19:48 (eleven years ago) link
I can't see that he'll ever top it, the writing partnership with Owen Wilson was never better - I still really like all of his films to various degrees, but there's something completely indelible about Rushmore. Truest characters in his career helps.

wd not have guessed there was a ref to Bogdanovich's Daisy Miller in Rushmore. (per dvd commentary)
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 23 August 2012 20:04 (eleven years ago) link
only thing I remember from that commentary was them pointing out the Barry Lyndon reference which I never would have got.

Another lift (and all I remember from checking out the commentary once nearly 9 years ago): The scene were Max is on the payphone and the school cop hangs up for him was taken from Wiseman's High School.

tenenbaums ftw. i also love the life aquatic. for the longest time i would say that anderson was my favorite filmmaker and something about his Romanticism -- the fact that most of his films concern, in one way or another, the conflict between the individual's idiosyncratic vision of reality and reality itself, the sort of classic quixotic conflict that is a source of both tragedy and comedy -- still speaks to me a great deal.

tenenbaums is really the only one i'm inclined to want to see again nowadays. i haven't seen the recent ones (fox, moonrise, etc.). rushmore didn't hold up, imo. life aquatic did nothing for me. darjeeling has some wonderful parts but doesn't ultimately deliver, though it seems like a more modest film than some of the others so i appreciate it more.

love love love 'fantastic mr fox' and still really like 'rushmore.' liked 'tenenbaums' at the time but in retrospect it feels like the point where anderson started making films that were basically collages of his favorite things (salinger, 'eloise,' etc etc).
