This is maybe my favourite video. Jason looks like he’s constantly taking the piss and Wes reminds me of my media teacher when he’s listing off films I need to see. (Also, the top comment made me laugh so much — can you imagine Anderson sitting down to watch ‘300’?)
Aside from Wes and Jason being the best, seeing Borders makes me feel like crying. So there’s that.
*updated* top 5 Wes Anderson films in order
1. The Royal Tenenbaums
2. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zizzou
3. Rushmore
4. The Darjeeling Limited(I have yet to see Bottle Rocket or Fantastic Mr. Fox)
I saw Fantastic Mr. Fox last night and I really liked it. Since the above list was made I have also rewatched The Darjeeling Limited. The updated list is:
1. The Royal Tenenbaums
2. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zizzou
3. The Darjeeling Limited
4. Fantastic Mr. Fox
5. Rushmore
Okay, so I finally saw Moonrise Kingdom this past weekend.

2. Rushmore
3. Fantastic Mr. Fox
4. Moonrise Kingdom (so far, I’ll have to see it a couple more times to really get a feel for it)

I also watched half of Bottle Rocket recently, but I was extremely tired and couldn’t finish it, I’ll add it to the list when I’m awake enough to finish it.
50 Absolute Favorite People: Wes Anderson
“I want to try not to repeat myself. But then I seem to do it continuously in my films. It’s not something I make any effort to do. I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience. I feel I get criticized for style over substance, and for details that get in the way of the characters. But every decision I make is how to bring those characters forward.”

There aren’t many directors one can identify simply by looking at a brief clip of his or her work. Alfred Hitchcock comes to mind; so do Michelangelo Antonioni and Jean-Luc Godard. Their films, constructed wholly on their own terms, create singular, unmistakable worlds. In America today, there is at least one director who does this too: Wes Anderson.

If he wants to wear this outfit when he plays Mayor Gunderson, fine by me!
