i couldnt even finish the trailer

it all looks so tired and bored.

Man, how interesting would a Wes Anderson movie be if he ditched the style and tried something different

WE GET IT, WES, YOU'RE QUIRKY

[VinylGuy]

yeah, some camera movements!! some acting!

[tree_]

he's a parody of himself.. you're right; it's boring, no matter what the story is or if it's a cartoon, even

[E.H. Ruddock]

Everything is too bright

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I’ve been off this guy since Moonrise or Grand Buda (whichever came first), but I think this one looks fun.

me too!

I'm really glad there is a guy named Wes Anderson making Wes Anderson movies. There was a bit of an issue in the late aughts when guys like Rian Johnson, Sofia Coppola, Jason Reitman, and a bunch of others were also all making Wes Anderson movies. But that trend has passed. I'm happy to have one new Wes Anderson movies every few years.

Looking forward to this one

but this is as if Pearl Jam just kept making Ten every couple of years.. I think Wes Anderson is talented and I respect him, but I just wish he would progress and change his style

[The Argonaut]

I totally get that perspective. For me, there's enough different in them to still find them worthwhile.

[tree_]

I understand. I'm sorry I yelled.

Agreed. I wouldn’t mind a mix up in style a bit every now and then though also.

[spike]

wes is obviously autistic and incapable of making a different style movie

it'd be like expecting tree to change his posting style

If this is true, I'd begin to look at his work from a different perspective and may appreciate it more, because it would feel more authentic.

I agree completely. Kind of shocked at the complaints on this page. In a world of utterly generic, anonymous filmmaking where directors are either afraid or disallowed from injecting any personality into their work, I love that we still have a few artists whose work is so completely and unabashedly their own. This looks really good to me

We’re too aesthete for this board sometimes.

His style makes every other movie seem more real. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Coen brothers, who are also quirky, Lynch, who is weird, or popcorn Marvel movies, no one beats Wes Anderson in levels of fake.

All is beautiful and unceasing, all is music and reason, and all, like diamond, is carbon first, then light.

Do you think he's concerned with looking "real"?
