+1, would rofl again.

It's quite well known in the industry that Anderson has spent most of the shoot of Fantastic Mr Fox being a world-class asshole - he also apparently left the little details like shooting the film to the puppet guys.

And I *like* his films up until the Indian train abortion.

Count me out of the Wes Anderson fan club. Life Aquatic had its moments and a fantastic soundtrack but for me his movies are painfully self-conscious, emphasis on painful. I guess I just don't like quirk.

Bill Murray has already been to space. Remember when he helped Michael Jordan and the Looney Toons defeat the Monstars so they wouldn't have to work forever at that evil space theme park?

I'll forgive this oversight. But just this once.

They should do a zero-G porn.

Think of the possibilities: Long distance money shots, for example.

Which is the way it's supposed to work when [insert famous director] does a stop-motion movie; just ask the people who worked on Nightmare Before Christmas how much involvement Burton had after the planning phase.

From what little I've read about the film, it appears that Anderson has largely re-written the story to make something film-length out of it.

Then you missed the point of that film, as apparently, most people did. Wes didn't give you the catharsis you all were looking for and you're still pissed at him.

That's what we call "dry wit" kids. I know it's hopelessly out of fashion, but all the more amusing that no one gets it any more.

Poopy MacPoop

THIS!

Even better, Tim Burton did not direct The Nightmare Before Christmas. That was Henry Selick; Burton was a writer and producer.

That depends, is he friends with the producer on this movie? Are a couple of teamsters heading that way to drop him off?

/Dan Aykroyd's cameo in that fall 2009 movie was great

I like Wes Anderson movies because he uses a bold, exciting visual style to explore the decay of the american family and what that means in our lives.

I like Stuff White People like because I'm still fourteen and terrified of liking anything that is too popular.

It means that you need more of a life.

Obviously. People who spend two hours to watch a film they like have no lives.
What losers.

Love Wes Anderson's films, but that haircut isn't helping to quell those douche rumors...

Huh ... is someone's head so big, you can already see it from outer space?

The decay of a very specific type of american family, perhaps. But he's not making movies for the masses to relate to or to comment on society at large. His movies are hermetically sealed dioramas of a very, very specific type of people.

I thought the Squid and the Whale - while equally specific in its presentation - spoke much more about the break down of the American family in the era of divorce than any of Anderson's films.

Anyone who uses a "Stuff White People Like" link to prove their point at this late date should have their Internets taken away from them.

But what would be the purpose of this outer space expedition?

I didn't like it because it didn't speak to me on any level deeper than "ooh, pretty scenery". My best friend, who's life pretty much echos that of the Whitmans absolutely adores it on every level it can be adored.

Plus, I have come to the decision that any project that has Jason Schwartzmann involved in more than just a cursory level is going to eventually rub me the wrong way.

I love The Royal Tenenbaums, his other stuff is "meh".
