    I do not watch a lot of movies. I'm picky about movies, and disdainful of many modern movies that others love (including some people here, sorry!) But as far as active filmmakers go, Wes Anderson is one of my favorites - probably my favorite, really. I've watched most of his work (and intend to watch the rest at some point) and greatly enjoy his style and ideas, so it's interesting to hear him talk about this work in a format like this. Thanks for sharing!

        I appreciate the us.ri.jamestown tag, because as someone living very close to the actual Jamestown¹, I know I can dismiss this thread as offtopic dreck. ;-)

        My only problem with that tag is that it identifies the country, state, and city, but not the county. That is an entire level of classification missing! I have no clue what else is going on in that county up there, and it's all because of the lack of concern for proper classification. :(

        ;-)


        ¹ us.va.jamestown, or possibly us.va.cityofjamescounty.jamestown

          No true Jamestownman! p.s. We do sometimes include the county in tags, but only when they're the focus of the topic and not the state or a city. E.g. ?tag=usa.nc.moore county, ?tag=usa.ca.alpine...

    I wouldn't call this explaining. More a long list of 'Yeah, and then I met this guy and he was cool. And then I met this other guy and and he was cool too and I learned a lot.' At least, that was...

    At least, that was my impression of the first movies. I did not get fat into this video.

    And until now I didn't realise Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson are two separate people but that makes so much more sense now: Owen plays Eli Cash, the family friend, and Luke plays Richie the tennis star in the Royal Tenenbaums. Okay, I think I can tell them apart now based on those characters.

      Owen is blonde, Luke is brunette, and Andrew (who is also an actor) is about 1ft taller than both his younger siblings.
