Will Leitch!
The (entirely critic-generated and perpetuated?) idea that Wes Anderson’s films are somehow limited or inferior because he has opted to make them storybook-gorgeous is like complaining that Led Zeppelin should stop wasting time with those stupid guitar solos.
Charmingly awful! Better than 2012, not as good as G.I. Joe. The aliens were startlingly incompetent. Also, Rihanna for some reason!
“This isn’t a car.”
Everything I wanted it to be and more. Tremendous cast, great script, paced like an Olympic marathon gold medalist’s best run.
Successful Alcoholics is a short film that premiered at Sundance 2010, about a co-dependent couple drowning in booze and yet still clinging to their well-paying jobs.
Still really worthwhile, and not just because Lizzy Kaplan’s in it.
This movie is completely great. So funny and real. It reminded me of Noah Baumbach but with more heart and less caricature, which is all I’m really looking for.
First half is pretty great, then there are 3-4 boring episodes with too many “Hook Up History” and “Real Movie” skits, then it picks up again. “The Mad Real World” is brilliant.
I watched My Name is Bruce today, too, but I’ll spare you my important opinions.
“I’m going to kill the bear. SAY IT!”
A+ movie.
