    Didn't see your comment until I had finished the trailer...said to myself 3 or 4 times while watching it "This is the most ****ing Wes Anderson thing ever." Is there a point of Peak Anderson, where he simply cannot cram any more whimsey into a film?

    I'm in.

    Not until late July. This is torture. :-(

    I watched this on YouTube a day or two ago:



    Its hilarious to me how perfectly this trailer matches the tone.

    H-town's own Wes Anderson, no?

    To me, he makes a lot more sense if you think of a weird kid growing up in Texas versus a weird kid growing up anywhere else.

    It's like a 2d side scrolling video game with 3d cut screens.

    I hope they run this at Cannes. Has Wes Anderson ever been nominated for his movies?

    Yes, I would like for him to win an Oscar at some point. Hope this movie is shown in Cannes.

    I saw The French Dispatch today at an Alamo Drafthouse with my daughter. It's one of his best. Simply fantastic, in my humble opinion. Going to see it again next week with my significant other. Wow.
