[sandstorm]

So remember during Netflix's Dumass or whatever the event was called. where they had a list of things coming out and their months and dates?

"Henry Sugar" was listed for 'fall', and now it's been announced to premiere at Venice, and we can look at it! Some of it.

I realized Richard was in this photo a second after I hit submit. He is excluded from the "and some other people" narrative!

[kranf]

I was like "His name should've been first tbh"

i need to know why i have such an aversion to wes anderson's style, because it's pretty yes, but i see his work and i just like, cringe and i don't know whyyy

*with the exception being fantastic mr fox because that is a masterpiece

[beigemediocrity]

I find him predictable and one trick pony.

[progression]

I like his films, but I have to be in the mood for them because they’re just too “quirky white people existing in a special (fun colored) world” for me.

What do you think about Isle of Dogs, since FMF is your fave?

[joyriders]

i am a long time wes anderson apologist (the movies, not the person) but i feel like i am being tested to my limits after 'asteroid city'.

[euraylie]

I’m not an apologist, so Asteroid City went way past my limits lol
I hated that he decided on a framing device (which was sometimes actually more interesting than the main plot but just didn’t work together)

lmaooo same. tho i did end up reading some analysis after which made me think of it differently

[la_loony]

If you still have links could you share, I'd be interested to read them.

this is 37 mins long, just fyi (bet it wins live action short since asteroid city has very heavy competition)

[sandstorm]

Yes we Stan time efficiency!

[lieselmeminger]

it would be kind of crazy if wes anderson wins his first oscar for this lol

[sprinklebell]

Wow, just barely a short. Typical cut off is about 40 minutes.

I enjoy Cumberbatch when he's playing quirky; I liked him as Louis Wain.
