Whats going on with that script that Wes Anderson wrote something called the Rothaum Suite or something like that…the story was set in the art world in NYC…I remember before Robert Altman died his next project after Prarie Home Companion was also a NYC set movie called Paint! about the artworld in new york…I would KILL to see P.T Anderson make Altman\’s Paint!

\”I think Wes Anderson’s oeuvre as a movie maker is an acquired taste and to dismiss his efforts as awful, offers some insights into the personal viewing habits of the person who offers the critique, than it does about Anderson himself.\”

Funny stuff. You don\’t watch a lot of films, do you? Wes Anderson is some avant-garde \”acquired taste\” to you? Says a lot about your laughable attempt at pretension. At least throw out some decent names like Mikio Naruse and Bill Viola!!

Maybe cause I\’m a fanboy but I adore Life Aquatic and Darjeeling. Sure they were full of quirkness, even more so, but I still found them to be quite enjoyable. If anything, I find Tenenbaums to be his weaker effort.

Maybe awful is too strong of a word. Those two are failures though. The Life Aquatic just has too much going on and Wes tripped over himself in the balancing act where The Darjeeling Limited has the most intelligence-insulting visual metaphor ever. I did like Owen Wilson\’s performance in it however.

i\’m very pessimistic that Wes Anderson without Owen Wilson as a co-writer can be the Wes Anderson we want him to be. Let\’s face facts.

While I agree about Darjeeling and Life Aquatic, Mr. Fox was no lark. One of his best films. It makes me happy like no other film he\’s done. It just has that warm feeling that movies like Ferris Bueller\’s Day Off, The Big Lebowski, and Groundhog Day had before it. A truly great film.

Good to see him getting back to his strengths. Let\’s face it. Mr. Fox was a fun, cute lark, but Darjeeling and Life Aquatic were god awful.

And Ed Norton in a leading role sounds just perfect. He can do the deadpan comedy thing while injecting depth and vulnerability into the drama.

Wow. Can\’t say i saw this happening. Well, maybe just the Bill Murray bit but other than that, everything sounds like it\’s completely a new vision for Wes.

Also: returns to a familiar theme with Ritchie and Margot running away from home in The Royal Tenenbaums.

This sounds really interesting. I wonder if Elle Fanning will be cast as 1 of the 12 year olds?
