    “Let’s say she’s in heaven, which doesn’t exist for me, of course, but you’re Episcopalian.” ASTEROID CITY is just exquisite, as close to perfect a film as I’ve seen; even just thinking about it, my heart bursts.

    The Phoenician Scheme got shafted by ratings. Wes Anderson fans didn't give it full marks because it's not as experimental as Asteroid City, and the rest don't like his style anyway. It still replaces The Grand Budapest Hotel as the movie I'd use to introduce people to Wes Anderson

    Sinners, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Lord of the Rings trilogy (saw it in theaters last year, it counts). I also really enjoyed Megalopolis but understand it's not a perfect film, kinda gonzo. If you like Cthulhu type stuff then Nic Cage starred in an adaptation of Lovecraft's "Colors out of space" that my wife and I both really enjoyed. A lot of people missed the 2008 adaptation of Speedracer done by the Wachowski sisters (same people who did the Matrix) which is a real shame…

    even the color balance isn’t just Fucking Gray. Visually, Barbieland and Asteroid City hit similar parts of my brain; it’s just that Asteroid City is a wes anderson movie for people like me (movie nerds) and this is actually a movie that had blockbuster aims

    What was the last comedy that you watched in theaters?. It's said that comedy movies are dying because they don't bring people to the theater. I remember when rom-coms used to be a genre that would be practically guaranteed to do good numbers, but it seems like studios are avoiding the genre now or releasing direct to streaming. I think that most comedies today are primarily another genre, like action/adventure or horror with a bit of millennial irony on the top. I think the biggest comedy…

    Oh, oh. Another Wes Anderson movie opens tomorrow that I’ll have to attend by myself. The bride wouldn’t last 5 minutes watching Wes. His movies can be terrible (Asteroid City), but when they’re good, there are a lot of smiles.

There’s not much else similar about the two movies but the location, set and set dressing look absolutely identical! #TCMParty #cinema #movies

    Asteroid City didn't do it for me. It was a beautiful film to *look* at, and great ensemble cast, but ultimately too quirky and self-indulgent for its own good. It reminded me of the Family Guy bit about films that "insist upon themselves".

    My favorite first-time watch of July is Wes Anderson’s ASTEROID CITY, which I saw 3 times in the theater (once while not high and twice after doing 5 mg of sativa). It’s my favorite film of the year, ahead of NO BEARS and PACIFICTION. I would gladly watch it 7 more times.
