Re: Worthwhile intertubez finds
one of my personality defects is the occasional irrational hatred; i.e. wanting to watch tim and eric get hacked to death by african child soldiers wielding machetes. i think it would be a potent blow against the inherent absurdity of absurdity, plus those guys suck, and the child soldiers could keep their clothing. win-win.
anyway, another one of those hatreds is wes anderson because a long time ago i got free tickets to see bottle rocket and instead got an hour and a half of the coming of generation veal shoved in my face. i was researching some silly rumor that my wife had heard on facebook* and somehow stumbled across an interview with will oldham where he takes issue with mr. anderson's use of music in his films as being poorly done. anyway, that's not the cool part because i don't know if it's true or not - the cool part was the epic salty ham tears 300+ thread of angry wes anderson fans peeing themselves in a rage because one of generation veal's architects was mildly insulted by a musician. it was amazing. the only thing missing was the anarchrist and some threats of webcam suicide.
of course, i can't fucking find the blog now but i just wanted to write this down so i don't forget later. that i genuinely enjoyed the suffering of strangers is something i'll just ignore for the time being.
* that will oldham would be touring with dave matthews band. which i would wholeheartedly support (maybe dude could buy a beard trimmer) but would otherwise ignore.

Re: Worthwhile intertubez finds
if al qaeda pulled a nick berg on those guys i'd probably be so happy i'd sprain my ankle (because i was in a fog of happiness and didn't see the curb). if i was more creative i'd figure out a way to turn that into a song but "dear al aqeda, please pull a nick berg on tim and eric, thanks" doesn't really work as a track title. as an aesthetic, sure, but it lacks forward movement. it's a simple statement of desire.

Re: Worthwhile intertubez finds
I thought Bottle Rocket was the height of Wes Anderson's powers, whatever that means. Like, it felt to me still like a quirkily told coming of age thing I was okay with. It has been recontextualized as a harbinger of veal to come now that we've seen, well, everything else Wes has done.
I kinda thought Bottle Rocket was not so bad??

Re: Worthwhile intertubez finds
Rather than wes, isn't aptow to gen veal what kevin smith is to gen x? Or even wheadon? I cant think of an Anderson movie off the top of my head starring someone born after 1975.

Yeah, I like Anderson's schtick, but I could see being pissed off by it. It's VERY stylized.

Re: Worthwhile intertubez finds
Oops. I was thinking Rushmore not Bottle Rocket. Rushmore is the good Wes Anderson. I saw them in non chronological order, so I got confused.

Re: Worthwhile intertubez finds
At least someone else shares my borderline psychotic hatred of Tim & Eric. If someone made a snuff film featuring them, I'd put it on endless loop and would probably starve to death after my constant joyful laughter caused me to forget to eat.
And it would be worth it.
And it would be worth it.

Re: Worthwhile intertubez finds
I love that video, Stevo.
For me, Rushmore was just okay, but The Royal Tennenbaums was amazing (though an emotional gut-punch). The Life Aquatic, unfortunately, I had to stop watching partway through because I couldn't stand how sad it was. I haven't seen his latest couple movies.
Hamlet 2 oddly reminded me of Wes Anderson's work, in tone if not in style. Too bad it got advertised as such a wacky comedic romp that I couldn't really enjoy the movie for what it was. I may have to rewatch that eventually.

I'm always surprised by how strong the negative reaction to them is.

Re: Worthwhile intertubez finds
I can't even explain it myself, db. I've tried to figure out what it is that makes me hate them so much, but I never get much past sputtering rage. My reaction to them is equivalent to that of someone who sees a large, hairy spider crawling out of the shower drain. Revulsion. Hatred. Fear. And the desire to smash, smash, smash.

The list of adult swim things that I don't like/get:
12 oz mouse
Assy McGee
Tim & Eric
Tom goes to the Mayor
Squidbillies
That one about the guy drilling underground or whatever.
List of those that I give a damn about:
EDIT to add: But by no means do I want to discourage you guys from irrational hate. Irrational hate is just fucking entertaining as hell.

Re: Worthwhile intertubez finds
The Royal Tenenbaums was not a gut-punch to me, as I found the characters unlikeable and ultimately boring, so I really didn't care what happened to them and mostly was waiting for the movie to be over. After that and seeing Bottle Rockets, I was cured of seeing Wes Anderson films.
