    I think in 30 years when I think back on Wes Anderson I’ll appreciate his recent run of “weirder movies”.

    However, right now I desperately want him to release another Darjeeling, Life Aquatic, or Grand Budapest Hotel.

    French Dispatch and Asteroid City were defiantly Wes Anderson movies but they lacked a solid story that will stick with me.

      Wait, you wouldn’t put “The Life Aquatic” inside the “weirder movies” category? But yes, I can understand what you mean, “The French Dispatch” and “Asteroid City” were cool, but not as engaging as “Moonrise Kingdom” or “The Grand Budapest Hotel”.

        Its odd because on paper you’re right. Life Aquatic should also be in the weird bucket but I don’t put it there for some reason. It worked much more somehow.
