I haven't got to Anderson yet because I nearly died laughing at the Moleskine Notebooks and Camping bits

Was gonna post something similar.. like, hmm, seems odd someone on here would say that about Wes Anderson like it’s a bad thing.

Maybe, “good things that white people like”, versus I don’t know, guns? ( <<< implying white Americans here of course )

For every 'good' example of each of the things on that list, there are 50 to 100 that are so bad they make me want to stop listening to music. And, as they do with Wes Anderson, people keep falling for it. Do fans of Doom Metal actually even think about the songs or do they just hear BRUTAL TONE, BRO and they're like 'FUCK YEAH'?

It's like some things are good .... And others are bad... And it's not particularly important if they were made by white people.

I had hope for the new film within the first few minutes as the sets were fun and vibrant and the background (play intro) seemed fun, but it all seemed to go... nowhere. So little substance - even less then in the previous films. Less plot too. It's just a by-the-numbers Wes Anderson film with slightly odder backgrounds.
The dialogue felt phoned in too. Is it just me?

Right. The art being good or bad is the dominant trait, and it being a quasi-white-specific form of good or bad is less relevant.

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.
Yes, I am serious. And I'm quite familiar with TJL's lyrics. So, in other words, you have nothing.

Ok, well I’m glad we could at least agree to derail the Wes Anderson thread, because he sucks.
