Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel"

Guest

This looks awesome (as usual for Wes), coming Spring 2014.

What a cast!

Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Ralph Fiennes, Jude Law, Willem DaFoe, Adrian Brody, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, F. Murray Abraham, Tom Wilkinson, Bob Balaban…and more.

Anderson is easily one of the most unique filmmakers working today and I always look forward to more of his inspired lunacy.

I've often enjoyed his movies to various degrees and this one looks to be no exception. Can't wait.

I was a little worried when I saw Ralph Fiennes in that cast, but from the looks of the trailer he clearly gets it as far as Anderson's material. I thought one of the weaker elements of the otherwise great Moonrise Kingdom was Bruce Willis seeming lost with the whole thing. Edward Norton on the other hand seems born to play this stuff.

Never been a fan of Wes. Seen quite a few of his films. Just not my thing.

I've been a Wes fantastic since Rushmore which I thought was just absolutely brilliant. The only one of his films that I'm "so so" on is The Life Aquatic, but even that film has it's moments.

He's one of the most unique filmmakers of the past 20 years or so and I salute that…of course it is also understandable that his films are going to be love it or hate it affairs for most people.

That's the only one I didn't care much for. I wanted to really like it, but it just didn't click with me as a new release. I think I even went to the theater to see it. A 2nd viewing a few years later didn't change that opinion.

'The Royal Tenenbaums' might be my favorite of his films.

Funny that alongside of Bottle Rocket, The Life Aquatic is my favorite. The Darjeeling Limited is the only one I'm so-so on. But even that is more one I just won't watch dozens of times like Anderson's others.

That was a GOOD ONE!!! My wife and I saw that at the Tower Theater(They tend to play movies like that there... That's where we saw the original Death At A Funeral.)
