This time tomorrow.
IFC: Indie Eye — Alan McGee at the Guardian's Film Blog is giddy over the soundtrack prospects of "The Darjeeling Limited," and goes on to reflect on the golden age of soundtracks:The partnership of Anderson and Mothersbaugh is comparable to Fellini and Nino Rota, both in the symbiotic way the partnerships work and the spacey, kitschy sounds they often employ. However, it's Harold and Maude and The Graduate that both used pop music to demonstrate the deepening alienation of the main characters - who could forget ...

Watch Wes Anderson's AT&T Commercials
Cinematical — Filed under: Fandom, Home EntertainmentSay what you want about Wes Anderson's last film The Life Aquatic (which I happen to really like -- don't tell anyone), but you have to give him credit for his commercial work. He last showed up with an American Express commerical that absolutely rocked; not only did Anderson direct that one, but he also starred as himself -- a guy who calmly walks through a frantic film set, and always has his AMEX card there to bail him out. I love every aspect of that commerical, especially the part ...

NYFF: "The Darjeeling Limited."
IFC: Indie Eye — ... Wes Anderson, we love you, but you're bringing us down. The hermetically sealed world of your films — the man-children, the inexplicable melancholy, the flat, wide shots, the fetishized artifacts of adolescence and carefully chosen vintage pop soundtracks — has always resonated so strongly for us. We shrugged off all accusations of tweeness, we defended "The Life Aquatic" against the most virulent of critics, we saw in ...

So let’s talk about the other writing/directing Anderson. Wes .

Jaq's Review: The Darjeeling Limited - The Short Road to Nowhere
FirstShowing.net — ... Wes Anderson is quite talented. When he first appeared on the scene with Bottle Rocket, he was hailed as the new wunderkind of independent cinema. He held a tight reign on that mantle with the release of Rushmore and then, with The Royal Tenenbaums, cracks started to show. By the time The Life Aquatic came out, only the true believers were still voicing loud support. For the rest of the world, however, the film didn't work. It became a matter of the fans complaining that if one didn't like it, one simply didn't get it. The same, I fear, is ...

Going commercial.
IFC: Indie Eye — We really wouldn't have guessed from just watching them that those AT&T "Seamless World" commercials (the "Philawarepraguecago" and other multi-location word ones) were the work of Wes Anderson. Knowing that fact, they do seem quite in line with his artificial, boxes-within-boxes sense of space — still, they're just functional 30-second spots, not as entertaining or indulgent as that charming AmEx ad from last year. And they all certainly pale in comparison to the Wong Kar Wai short-cum-HD TV commercial below (snagged from Scott Macaulay at Filmmaker) ...

DVD Spotlight: The Djarleeng Limited
Coosa Creek Cinema — Another One Bites the Dust | Home The Djarleeng Limited ">DVD Spotlight: The Djarleeng Limited By Rick | March 3, 2008 Wes Anderson’s The Djarleeng Limited appeared on DVD last week, and it’s a perfect example of one of the down-sides to this cinema-blogging thing: in keeping up with my fellow bloggers, I learn way too much about films before they even open. In the case of Anderson’s film, I learned that critics were almost universally underwhelmed when it premiered at Cannes, so I was presupposed to be disappointed. Then the same thing happened when it opened in the states: although it ...

Anderson, known for Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and Darjeeling Limited, is still a very talented filmmaker, so that's not the problem. It's just that I can't see the story in this film being turned into another Anderson classic. I even really enjoyed The Darjeeling Limited, but that and all of his other movies seem like such a far departure from My Best Friend, that I just can't picture it. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but who knows? We'll find out soon enough. Brian Grazer is ...

Accepting his numbness in existence, he goes about his life with every reason to be content, but a sense of meaning or fulfillment eludes him.
