    Looks beautiful.

    But I hope it's the type of film from Wes Anderson that I can tolerate.

    Fantastic Mr. Fox is my favorite from him, so this is my Wes Anderson. Love it.

    I'm just really glad he's making another animated film. The timing feels right.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I'm sorry you feel that way.

    In all seriousness though, that movie reeks of self-indulgent, attention-seeking film school graduate-level Sundance quirk that drives me up the wall. David Bowie in Portuguese (no matter how good it sounds), a non-sequitur cutaway to a whale jumping up to catch food hanging from Bill Murray's hand and using 'Search and Destroy' to score Steve in a shootout with pirates when it doesn't work are the primary examples.

    That being said, now that I'm older and Wes Anderson's last two films clicked with me, I may give it another chance. But given how I felt the first time I saw it, I'm not in any hurry.

    Aquatic I think it was the first of his films that I really liked. Previous work felt pretentious. I've come around on earlier stuff a bit now though.

    For me, it was Rushmore that started it all. Still think it's his 2nd best. The Life Aquatic just amplified everything about Wes Anderson that I love. - Bill Murray is so good it hurts. I dont think I have a single negative thing to say about it. This scene is hilarous. and Willem Dafoe is equally brilliant.

    That's where I'm at. Since I have a dog, there's a chance this'll go beyond detached admiration for me.
