Possible for you to post some of your favorite shots? If you have any. I gave up before Grand Budapest. Might be time for me to revisit Wes.

I didnāt like the one about the little kids who ran away. That one just took to the twee to 11 and was too much for me. Darjeeling Limited was also quite bad.
All of his movies are perfect and if you donāt agree youāre a lib.
If the bootstraps fit!
How about Fantastic Mr. Fox? If you donāt like that Iām a little worried for your well-being.
I havenāt seen that one, but Iāll follow the co-writer Noah Baumbach anywhere after the wonder that was While Weāre Young. Iām still making my way through Marriage Story one agonizing scene at a time.
I think itās that Andersonās stuff is fundamentally weird and absurdist in a way I donāt enjoy. For example, I enjoy a couple of Tim Burtonās movies, but for the most part, the way he engages with reality makes me feel like this gif.
Fair enough. No Wes deep-dive needed then, I donāt think. His films all share a specific aesthetic and worldview. If one of his films isnāt for you, then likely none of them will be.* I find him delightful.
*Fantastic Mr. Fox might be an exception if you like stop motion.

After all this talk about Crouching Tiger, Iāve decided to give Curse of the Golden Flower a go. Iām about halfway through it. Sets and costumes are gorgeous. Chow-Yun Fat and Gong Li are of course great. Thereās lots of cleavage. I give it three and a half bags of popcorn, strong recommend for anyone who liked Crouching Tiger.

Agree. Also love the use of color in the Jet Li movie Hero. You canāt really get a sense for it in the trailer, butā¦

Hero GOAT. This is my all time favorite wuxia fight scene.

I had to watch the whole scene again before I could respond. Great choice. Two masters of their craft. Jet Li keeps it 100 when heās like hey old man, play me a song I can beat this guyās ass to.

I watched Valkyrie last night, hadnāt seen it since it was in theaters. Very good script and amazing cast and it might be my favorite Tom Cruise movie.

Ya so will Risky Biz and Top Gun and MI and whatnot. Iām just a huge WWII nerd and I thought they treated the subject matter quite well and again the cast was incredible

Tom Cruise is a tremendous actor, I donāt care what anyone says. Who has a higher good movie to bad movie ratio than he does? Would love to see him do comedic roles though, his timing is very very good.

Agree. He is a total nutcase but is a great actor and picks generally great scripts and directors to work with.

He gets knocked for āplaying himselfā which Iāve never understood. The way his emotion comes through is always true and right on ā heās constantly reacting in subtle and interesting ways, and Iāve never seen him in a false moment where I donāt buy his character or performance.
This is my favorite Tom Cruise line readings in yet another terrific Tom Cruise movie. Iām not sure why I love it so much but it cracks me up every time.
Itās true, though. I like Tom Cruise as an actor very much and his hit rate is off the charts, but he pretty much plays the same guy - himself - in every movie.
