The only one of his movies I didn't like was Darjeeling Limited. The rest are either great, or at least enjoyable. I get the sentiments people got against all the pastels and symmetry and flat shots, but it's silly to reduce it to just that.

I’d rather watch one of those baby monkey torture videos than anything by this hack.

I like some of his early stuff and the Fantastic Mr. Fox, the latter because I think his whole visual aesthetic lands way better as more straight forward animation. Everything else...kinda headache inducing.

I was going to respond to this with further sarcasm, but I'll be nice instead. Apologies for offending you.
I posted this comment in a thread called CRAP/NOT CRAP, with a long history of "hot takes", irony, and crass humor. I would not post this comment on Common Sense Media. My audience here includes a person whose username refers to a song by a band that regularly used violent "edgy" lyrics to entertain or provoke thought. Why that's you!

I've never been on 4Chan and have no interest in any unpleasantries. The monkey story was in the news, so I thought it was ripe for lampooning. I will not rescind my exceedingly strong distaste for Wes Anderson.

Ultimately, all great artists, even Wes, must face the music ....https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultu ... -hate-dogs

Can you give me some examples of this statement?

Are you serious? I can't fault you for not understanding Yow's vocals, but I'll let you look up the lyrics to the songs, It's not like they were an outlier in that scene being abrasive, either.

Move it to DMs you humps

Wes Anderson brings out irascibility on the World Wide Web.

Like Wong Kar-Wai he expects needle-drops and characters smoking to do 80-90% of the narrative work, unlike Wong Kar-Wai it annoys the shit out of me when Anderson does it.

Bottle Rock & Rushmore are perfect. The rest...are, well crafted. It is too bad he seems to have formed such a bond with Noah Baumbach who I find to be completely awful in every way shape and form and can only ruin anything he is affiliated with, so that makes it tough.

There was a moment in the Darjeeling Limited a movie I was *this* close to walking out of when Adrian Brody's character can't rescue the boy from the river and he is carrying a lifeless child repeating "my guy died, he died" and it is so shocking in the context of the movie, like a slap in the face and I thought that maybe everything that came before hand in the film that was so thin and manipulative and phony and hollow was just wrong-footing the audience, that the characters and audience were going to confront something truly real and deal with it. And then the next shot the characters are walking in slow-motion to a Kinks's song.

Not Crap but WF extremely high
