I’ve been a fan of Wes Anderson’s movies ever since Rushmore brought his simplistically surreal form of storytelling, and endearing characters, to life on the big screen.
In his latest film Moonrise Kingdom he brings another cast of quirky yet relatable characters to the stage, and my heart swells just thinking about the strange situations these characters are about to find themselves in, and the hilarious moments which will be replaying over and over again in my head as I leave the theater.

Wes Craven is so cheesy. These days, it’s all about Wes Anderson, which is why I would much rather pay to see this version of Scream than the original.

New York: The Royal Tenenbaums house
The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my all-time favorite movies, so I was thrilled to see it featured on AV Club’s Pop Pilgrims, which checks out the memorable real-life locations of TV and film shoots. While Wes Anderson and his crew were scouting locations for the unfinished script, Wes spotted this amazing house in Harlem and rented it for six months for both exterior and interior shots. I want to live here, but until that happens (never), I’ll settle for the tour.
While campaign ads can occasionally be visceral and exciting, more often than not they fall into the same, monotonous categories. Have you ever wondered what campaign ads would be like if they were directed by critically-acclaimed directors?
The folks at LandlineTV have taken that question and answered it in their latest video. They speculate on what McCain ads would be like if they were done in the styles of John Woo, Kevin Smith, and Wes Anderson. And while the John Woo video is a bit hokey, I think the Smith and Anderson ones are spot on. See what you think, and let me know in the comments below.
