Sort of reminds me of David Letterman, who always seemed famously unprepared. 🙄

Why not read about the guy? It’s the same “polemic” questions: streaming, WGA strike and, obviously, if he would “cancel” his best friend Bill Murray. He forgot asking about Marvel movies!
Bizarrely he hagan the interview saying Anderson reminded him to Ionesco! I just can’t see it! Ionesco was about something very specific: the absurdity of the world before and after World War 2. Even when he didn’t considered himself political, his plays were very political or maybe anti-political. They were comedies but there was a lot of desperation in them.
Anderson is nothing like that! He is more playful, maybe naive and beautifully frivolous. The Great Budapest Hotel was about a fictional country around World War 2 or a similar war but it was more a poem to frivolity and superficiality (versus the seriousness of political movements) than about desperate absurdity. I don’t know! I would compare him more to Jacques Tati and I sincerely thought he just mentioned Ionesco to show he knew the name or something similar! Lol

This!
A lot of what Anderson does is practical effects so any AI video is automatically the opposite of it!

OT but today I saw someone who claimed to be a film critic saying the new Aki Kaurismäki film is “like a Wes Anderson film written by Victoria Wood” (I was on Wes Anderson’s hashtag). I thought, “Really?” I mean, of course I can see the similarities between Anderson and Kaurismäki but Kaurismäki was first! And he has been around ages before Anderson! How it’s possible this guy apparently just discove him and claims to be a professional? It’s not even an obscure figure! At least, not in festivals. I actually remember that I saw my first film by him when I was a kid! It was Leningrad Cowboys Go America. It was on TV and me and my little siblings thought it was hysterical! No one told us to watch it, we did it because they looked funny! They were funny!
Anyway, that’s one reason I don’t like a lot of critics today. I feel like I have watched more movies than them!

Sorry but I have to exhibit this idiot! x.com/enoughmthe/status/1707330541597478994?s=61&t=zPi8LNXgo1ojcMDphmjG3gPretty ironic considering this “racist” is indeed incapable to see the black faces of Danny Glover, Jeffrey Wright, Seu Jorge and others in Wes Anderson’s movies. He is right, tho. People like him are racist because they apparently are incapable of seeing black faces but also because they do fake activism using minorities as pawns against celebrities or even some random people that aren’t racist at all but who are cool to attack by coward mobs hiding behind social media accounts at that precise moment. That’s the only “activism” they know, of course! EDITED And, of course, Richard Ayoade is one of the freaking British actors in the small actors trope that this ridiculous person refuse to watch! He is in the trailer! So he says black but Henry Sugar has a total of two white men (three if you count the Jarvis Cocker cameo but he isn’t even announced!), two British Indians and one Nigerian-Norwegian British man! I guess that’s not enough black!

Sorry for answering Tweets here but I don’t want to get in discussion there because I know people there doesn’t have an open mind and won’t never accept other’s opinions or even facts. I still want to put out there my point, tho.! Lol
I saw someone defending that Netflix isn’t promoting enough the shorts saying that Wes Anderson isn’t a filmmaker that sells anymore. He was answering other person saying the opposite (as a reason of Netflix’s error). He said that he isn’t a “cool director” anymore because his last movies aren’t good so people apparently don’t go to see them. That’s false! Again Film Twitter And Twitter, in general, are worthless in the real world. Yes, some media people let themselves influence by it believing it’s relevant but it’s absolutely not! For example, Asteroid City was a hit!
And it easily could had made more but polemically and this was widely discussed on Twitter, it was retired by the studio before time so they could released it on VOD. It had a very short life in theatres and it still managed to do good numbers for Wes Anderson. The French Dispatch numbers were much more humble but remember, it was released during the pandemic. The numbers were low for everything.
