    this is tempting

    i have an amazon code for 10 bux off but it has to be stuff sold and shipped by amazon.ca which so little of worth is, but... my heart was kinda set on getting a steam controller

    and yet the french press i want is only $22 or something so my $10 off on $40+ orders doesn't apply and i'm having a real shit of a time finding anything cheap enough to only really fill that gap...

    I love that handwringing execs were really nervous about what Johnny Depp was doing on the first Pirates movie and thought he was ruining the film and were like "d..does he have to have all those gross false teeth? does he have to be so swishy and weird?" and Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski were like "yes he does, suck it" and then ultimately Depp was the reason the movie was so popular

    And then the Lone Ranger

    I find Wes Anderson's style obnoxiously mannered, and loathed both Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. I haven't seen his other work, though, so maybe Moonlight Kingdom and Grand Budapest were fucking fantastic. Hard to motivate myself to find out tho.

    I love Tim Burton's gothic expressionist style and really love Wes Anderson's twee storybook style.

    I wish more filmmakers were as stylistically bold as those two.

    I don’t need my movies to feel like they exist in my reality - I spend every day in reality so it’s nice to escape it, every once in awhile.

    I kind of want to turn Wes Anderson's movies into a cozy blanket and then wrap it around me and never take it off. And then legalize human-blanket marriage and then get married to it

    I really can't figure out the appeal.

    Pirates I was a good film, imho, and Depp nailed the role of insane-yet-maybe-not pirate with loose allegiances yet ultimately noble intent.

    And the dialogue was excellently written.

    the definition is in the person experiencing the emotion, not in the person who is being viewed by that person

    think about someone saying they've never eaten pizza. that person would be like well i am not unfortunate! lol yeah right more pizza for us!

    anyway, you don't have to watch them if you don't want to but poo-pooing them and then admitting you haven't seen any of their movies in 11 years is designed to make us angry, right

    I actually enjoyed Rushmore at the time but for all the wrong reasons. I actually thought Max was a sympathetic character instead of a manipulative psychopath.

    Then I watched it again last year and I realized he's a monster.

    /snip/

    Part of the reason why it's hard to motivate myself to find out more about his other work is that, when it comes to those earlier movies, everything I absolutely hated about them seemed to be the very same things that other people loved: the baroque visual composition, the precocious children, the tonal swings, what we might unkindly call the unbearable tweeness of being, etc. So when people tell me that his other movies were great, I am become mistrust.

    there was something i loved about the scene to scene transitions in grand budapest hotel

    or especially the way you'd see a scene from a panned out perspective and it's gustave and zero running in an overly exaggerated style that i'm finding hard to articulate at the moment (but if you've seen it you know exactly what i mean)

    ugggh it was just so good i should just watch it again

    it is like saying videogames aren't art

    last game played was ms pac man don't care

    you didn't say "I don't like this specific movie"

    here is what you said:
    "Dude

    Maybe branch out a little bit

    Wes, try and make a movie that's not about the unbearable tweeness of being"

    implying that you had a full knowledge of the directors work

    so yeah schadenfreude

    because it would take care of itself and wouldn't matter. they probably knew the start and end so just film the scenes you got and write dialogue to get you to the end.

    plus it was all storyboarded i'm sure.

    this is a thing happens a lot in hollywood and it is unbelievably stupid and a sign that hollywood execs do not put nearly enough stock into the quality of the script/story.

    I feel like you are taking this way too personally. It's not personal.

    I was basing my statements on the movies I'd seen. Four movies in and he hadn't changed his shtick.

    Also I really wanted to use the phrase "the unbearable tweeness of being"
