I enjoyed it. At first I was really turned off from the Bryan Cranston breaks, but then I realized it was where most of the heart was. The kids were pretty great in it too
Steve Carrell was originally supposed to be Bill Murray, but he was a natural in that role
you liked that it took you out of the film?
basically felt like two films in one. they should have dove deeper into the main character not understanding his arc. the scene with Margot Robbie was one of the best in the entire movie
Anderson movies deliberately try to take you out of the film anon. Have you never seen one before? That is the whole point of his style. He does not try to make his movies feel real or immersive he trys to make them feel like movies.
yeah, and then he makes you enjoy the characters enough that it still has an emotional gut punch at some point. The scene with Robbie surprised me
I defy you to find me another example that is deliberately removing you from the story, literally as a function of the outer movie's "plot". The rest are just Wes Anderson stylization
The movie about the actors and playwright of an absurd play took you out of the movie? Are you fricking moronic?
You know what, don't answer that.
>Steve Carrell was originally supposed to be Bill Murray
His next movie will be a make-or-break moment in regards to his friendship with Murray. This one (and the Netflix one) didn't have him because of "COVID concerns," but if this next one he is currently filming doesn't have Murray, we will know that Wes is just another turncoat Hollywood homosexual who abandons their friends when they get "cancelled"
Bill is like 90
Edward Norton and Adrien Brody are known to be "difficult to work with" and he hires them for every movie nowadays. I don't think he gives a frick
Norton's behavior likely peaked with AHX and since then he's been cast in a lot of humiliating roles suggesting the message was received
You must've missed all the reporting about Norton and Hulk then.
He says he wants to work with Bill again, that he’s literally his daughter’s godfather and meets with him often.
Carell did a great job. One of Wes’s best movies.
Jeffery Wright is so good in these movies
10/10 aesthetic
3/10 story
Anderson may lack the spiritual depth to tackle his late middle aged confrontations of death in any compelling way.
Did you make this? I don't think his movies are that samey, but I do think he's getting a bit far up his own ass lately
Wes Anderson is the worst thing to ever happen to 'Cinema'
there was a character in this movie that looked like pic related
>that looked like pic related
no she didn't.
She look like somebody faceapped Lawrence Fishburn to be a teenage girl.
Is that Keisha Grey?
Yeah, when she was first starting out. I remember she lived near me and people were hyping up that she was doing pro stuff
based keisha grey. she still has a god tier body nowadays
why is it so eye rapey?
>desert but looks like millenial pink
>sky blue

kino song. the one from the beginning was great too
Last traaiiin to san fernandoooo
Asteroid City is the new Cedar Rapids now available on Playstation Portable!
I grew up in Cedar Rapids. I'd honestly love to live in Asteroid City instead.
When I took a film class in college in the mid 2000s everyone had to stand up and name their favorite film at the beginning of class.
90% of them said one of three movies
>The Life Aquatic
>Memento
>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I said Terminator 2 btw.
all good choices for the time period.
>terminator 2
omg are you Paul Thomas Anderson???
No, I'm Paul W.S. Anderson
I love the life aquatic though
all west andersen movies friggin S U C K
Wes Anderson makes good movies and I'm tired of this meme where people hate on them for no reason. Tell me why it's bad right now without complaining about his style or saying it's "too much", you can't.
The plot didn't really make sense. I couldn't sense any solid throughline. The animated alien was just cringe. His style is way too intense and unreal, you can't tell if it's all taking place in a santized dollhouse or real life. I'm sick of it.
i was torn but the ayylmao saved it. brought it all the way back from the depths.
RANKED
The Royal Tenenbaums
Rushmore
Bottle Rocket
The Life Aquatic
Grand Budapest Hotel
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Asteroid City
Darjeeling Limited
The French Dispatch
Moonrise Kingdom
Isle of Dogs
Funny thing, I not entirely sure if it’s ranked as the best at the top or bottom.
His movie are so subjective, anyone could argue either ways.
I think the Moonrise Kingdom at the bottom throws people off, but I really was miserable watching that movie in theaters. Maybe I should give it another chance because other anons seem to love it.
for me it's bottom to top except royal tenenbaums is somewhere in the middle
Put The French Dispatch at the bottom and the Grand Budapest Hotel second to the bottom then it'll be an accurate list.
Grand Budapest really surprised me with how much I enjoyed it after hating Moonrise. It felt like it had a lot more heart to it and probably one of his funnier movies
I realized now that a huge part of my rankings are basically based on how funny I found it
Royal T > Grand Budapest > Life Aquatic > Fantastic Mr Fox > Darjeeling > Moonrise > Rushmore > French Dispatch > Isle > Bottle Rocket
haven't seen Asteroid City yet but looks good
Not too far off from mine. Surprised not liking Rushmore though. Bottle Rocket is just hilarious to me and it's interesting to see Anderson's style so toned down
Hanks and Carrell in one film? How many 10 year olds did Anderson have to secure?
When are we going to get Paul thomas Wes Anderson?
I liked the soundtrack and sets a lot, it was comfy
The plot felt like it was about trauma or something but Anderson almost blue balls you by explicitly having the movie barely care about the alien or the characters in the play
I was holding on to hope that it was actually Scarlett nude because it looked close to her body from Under The Skin but I saw the "stunt double" and it was a perfect fill in.
So the story of Scarlett wanting to go nude but Wes Anderson was too nervous/shy for her to do it is true. Lea Seydoux said the exact same thing about Wes and he had to make a cartoon for her direction.
Wtf is wrong with him?
maybe just sexually repressed. reminds me of that doc about R. Crumb. But also imagine any anon here having to ask Lea Seydoux and Scarlett Johansson to get naked for them
>But also imagine any anon here having to ask Lea Seydoux and Scarlett Johansson to get naked for them
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>YOU CANT WAKE UP IF YOU DONT FALL ASLEEP
I don't think I've ever cringed so hard in a movie. I was embarrassed to be seen walking out of the theater after that
Carrell is in it. So it's automatically shit.
I saw Royal Tenenbaums in theaters with my mom when I was like 9. I think I only remember because when we got home I choked on a Culver’s french fry and threw up my slushie coke. A state of the union from Bush was on tv when it happened
>Ruins your Wes Anderson kino
Seriously, why is every Anderson movie without him good and every one with him bad? Does he frick things up in pre-production? Or does his presence simply degrade the story somehow?
I didn’t really understand what the alien’s deal was.
He took the rock, and then gave it back with some writing. Now it’s your job to answer why.
Maybe it wasn’t just a rock to him. Maybe it was actually something dear to he and his family, and the one he brought back was actually a replacement. Kind of like the baseball at the end of The Sandlot. It’s even better because it has alien writing on it now.
They were explorers cataloguing things on Earth.
The general literally says "It's been catalogued."
I don't care how many kids he fricks, I will always watch Wes Anderson movies.
You’re mixing him up with the Jeepers Creepers director. I do the same thing all the time.
This movie was so fricking boring, even getting high couldn't make it interesting.
I'm an artgay so weed made it great for me.
It had a slow start but got better pacing as it went along I thought. I went with normie friends and could feel them already hating it when it opened with Bryan Cranston in black and white
Wes anderson should really just stick to Animtion
Mr.fox was his beat movie and isle of dogs was atleast watchable. His style works when animated much better then live action
Everything else he has made is so boring I could never finish any of them
Even his earlier movies? They’re pretty funny
Am I crazy or did he not recently say that he was only going to make animated films going forward?
i thought he said that too. maybe decided against it since Isle of Dogs didn't do so well
Steve Carrell got the most laughs besides the alien in my theater.
I keep forgetting Matt Dillon was in this movie but he was extremely based in it. I wonder why Bryan Cranston said it wasn't an easy shoot for him
Pretty wild that this comes out in VOD in like two weeks. I thought it was doing decently in theaters?
