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.

Agreed. I wouldn’t mind a mix up in style a bit every now and then though also.The Argonaut wrote:I totally get that perspective. For me, there's enough different in them to still find them worthwhile.
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.spike wrote:wes is obviously autistic and incapable of making a different style movie
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 meThe Argonaut wrote: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

Do you think he's concerned with looking "real"?Anders wrote: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.
