Bill Murray Gives Us A Tour Of Wes Anderson's MOONRISE KINGDOM Set!!
MOONRISE KINGDOM is the latest from Wes Anderson, who has never made a bad film.
This opens in New York and Los Angeles this week. Which makes me very sad I moved away from Los Angeles 18 months ago.
I can't wait to see this. Bill Murray and Bruce Willis in the same comedy? Holy socks!
Here's the trailer, which is slightly less new:

Never understood the infatuation with Wes. I mean he's a cool quirky director and all but why so much love...

It was really nice just to see and hear Bill Murray being his likable, humorous self.

Loved the Royal Tennebaums, really enjoyed the Life Aquatic but after that his movies have seemed like Burton's latest, parodies of his own style except he doesnt get that himself.
-
I think many of us like him because his movies are all based on the writing, the characters and how the two interact. Even if you find him a bit "twee". It's still refreshing to see a guy making movies in the Mike Nicholas mold yet with an identifiable visual and music style. Tho, I admit, his films aren't for everyone. That being said, The Fantastic Mr Fox was Fantastic!!

And to hell with Ghostbusters 3.
-
I'm gonna give Herc the benefit of the doubt here, and assume The Darjeeling Limited must still be sitting unseen in his NetFlix queue.
-
Just a wild guess.

I would want to see this now if I had no idea about any of it. But I do and I already do. And anyone that is anti-Anderson, I think you lack all sense of the aesthetic. It seems like he just uses clever blocking, but he's doing it over and over again and he's the only one who can do it so well and so consistently. It's like music. When you hear Mark Knopfler play guitar, you can tell in the first three milliseconds that you're hearing Mark Knopfler play guitar. Having a recognisable style is a sign of talent, not of self-parody. Personally I find the entire Anderson-verse a comfortable fantasy land to return to. He understands that movies are not real life. I think some filmmakers are confused about that. Example: Batman does not need to exist in the "real world", and pretending that he does introduces problems when we need to suspend too much disbelief. But I digress! Bill Murray and Wes Anderson are awesome and that's all!

Prometheus feature, Master teaser, Bond teaser, Anchorman 2 teaser, and Bill Murray living la vida loca on a Wes Anderson set.

rushmore was absolutely incredible. life aquatic was right there with it. royal tenenbaums wasn't as great, but it had it's moments. fantastic mr. fox was fantastic. but dajeering was incredibly unfunny and totally unmemorable.

Bill Murray: "Excuse me while I go smoke a bowl with Wes and sign on for 15 more of his movies...."
by Chris
"...while at the same time I turn down Ghostbusters 3."

I seriously think Wes Anderson gets Murray so stoned out of his mind that he has him sign onto his movies while being stoned.

"Wes Anderson makes fresh movies..." uh, no. He's turning into Tim Burton, all of his movies are looking the same.

Why did you make me nose-spit my half-pump vanilla latte all over my old, shitty laptop? Do you HAVE to go and be so effortlessly funny, day in and day out? Have you ever told a bad joke in your life (and I don't mean the ones that weren't your own -- I'm staring you down hatefully, "Ghostbusters 2.") I hope you and Wes have a long life together. Peace out.

I understand why Wes Anderson's films are not everyone's cup of tea.
by angranoid
They're just not the kind of people I'd want to have a cup of tea with. No offence.

a primary color palette and walking in slow motion to an obscure 60's B-Side any day of the fucking week. Never understood people who dislike Wes Anderson. His critics always overcomplicate his movies. He is a minimalist in the best possible way, and it shows in every area of his films. Simple early punk and rock songs. Limited color palette. Still and extended shots. Low key performances and dialog. It's refreshing to see a director who can keep his films free of pop star cameos, music video direction, or having his characters scream their lines like Will Ferrell every 5 minutes. With all the banal shit that is passed off as film these days people single out Wes Anderson for mockery? Seriously?
-
yep, well said.
-
I'd rather watch something that's not as tedious as looking at a curious george book.
-
Fun Fun Fun.
-
It's certainly not bad, it's ok, but it's nowhere near Rushmore or Zissou. I would also like to know Anderson's attraction to killing and hurting dogs.
-
Like any director, has a style that permeates each of his movies. His is more extreme, like Burton or the 80's work of Verhoeven, you can tell it's his in a few frames. Within that style, he has made a series of films, of varying success. You're either a fan or you're not. Discussing it is interesting, arguing about it is stupid. The end.
-
But is definitely for me. I love them all- and yes can remember many hilarious, brilliant and touching moments and performances in, as well as the entire move that is, "The Darjeeling Limited." Can't wait to see this. I hope he never changes his style up- the films all works so well together that way, like a beautifully bound box set on the bookshelf.

... to have him do a Blues Brothers remake.
-
Hands-down, the best movie I've seen this year.
