Trailer:



I'm excited.

[Weinerslave]

That could not be more "Wes Anderson"-ey if it was just two minutes of Owen Wilson in a Halloween costume, studiously working on a coloring book while a Kinks song plays in the background.

[suavepebble]

I feel like I've seen this already

[suavepebble]

Damn you Weinerslave, you beat me to it by a minute.

[Krudler]

I said the same thing about the Royal Tenenbaums trailer.

[Krudler]

You're officially not allowed to enjoy this movie from now on, Suave P. and W. Slave. If either of you dare to like this movie, you owe AST an apology for your snark.

[Weinerslave]

Well, I will definitely see this movie, and I promise that if I like it, I will prostrate myself before the Gods of AST and beg forgiveness.

yeah, he directed it.

I'm excited for this!

Sounds like you can't wait to see this movie.

Is it not odd that you already have an opinion about a movie that you've yet to see?

Seriously, if you end up considering this movie to be your favorite movie of all time, you'll never be able to express that to anyone.

Isn't that what a trailer is for? To give you an idea of what it's going to be like?

The idea of children using and owning their own personal stationary makes me unreasonably mad. I'm rooting for that fucking storm.

I will watch this for Bill Murray and not for the themes relating to the social outcast utilizing his inherent brilliance to attempt a relationship with someone he shouldn't want in the first place thing.

[Arnold Pomegranate]

That is the plot of Rushmore. You have spoken ill of Rushmore.

[aenemaTron]

I clicked on this expecting a gritty and violent crime drama shot on DV featuring unknowns but found it to be a precious, twee, anamorphic-lensed light comedy featuring Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray. This is highly irregular.

[Weinerslave]

Dear Wes Anderson,

Don't ever change! Have a great summer!

AST

[tuggboat]

How come a distinct style in any other art form is accepted, but once a filmmaker develops and sticks to a style there's a huge backlash?

[Umlaut]

Because Tim Burton*.



*Wes Anderson is not Tim Burton. Fantastic Mr. Fox was boss.

You mean they were saying those things as if they were bad things?

Weird.

[Ghost Dad]

Oh boy, can't wait for this.

[ificouldjumpinhere]

Well, that was wonderful.

[Weinerslave]

It turns out that Anderson's childish protagonists are less risible when they're actually children.
