So does Wes Anderson just get in now like Meryl Streep?

I was going to see Hotel Budapest, but I just looked at a still picture of a 1940s phonograph in a 1960s parlor chair instead.

Mostly what I imagine is his better known stuff - Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Winter Light, Persona. I remember not liking Persona as much as the rest but I don't remember why. If I keep going through these I'll probably be watching them all again.

Have you seen Hour Of The Wolf?

Is it one of his towering masterpieces? Nope. But it's really really really good.

Bloodsport 2 (1996)

Absolute pure martial arts madness - the least plot I can remember from any fighting movie. It's really good fun though, and is available on Youtube for your viewing pleasure:

The point is AWESOMENESS

I admit it's a strange film to champion, but I really enjoyed it.

You missed out. It's a really fun show. Like a madcap caper in the style of old time movies. Great performance by Fiennes too.

i enjoyed budapest. but im sure theres a formula out there that proves im wrong.

Grand Budapest Hotel is one of the most enjoyable and impressive pieces of complete world building in a movie I've ever seen.

You might hate Anderson's aesthetic, but it's an incredible aesthetic accomplishment and Fiennes' performance is so damn good.

I just like trolling Anderson fans. It's good sport here in Portland.

I'd see this one because it looks fun. I didn't think much of Moonrise Kingdom. The dry, fast way Anderson's characters deliver all their lines doesn't play for me with children and the whole thing felt very Wes Anderson. The new one looks more contained and less indulgent.

I'm not quite sure I understand the comparison. This is the first time Anderson has ever been nominated.
