I feel like Anders hasn’t clearly identified that his biggest issue with WA movies is that everyone has a flat emotional affect. Seems like that’s the bush he keeps beating around, but hasn’t explicitly said it.

Everything is flat, not just the characters

Would you prefer if WA made 3D movies?

His style makes every other movie seem more real. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Coen brothers, who are also quirky, Lynch, who is weird, or popcorn Marvel movies, no one beats Wes Anderson in levels of fake.

realism is just one of many modes of representation in art. it’s no better or worse than any other — it simply has a different set of conventions.

put another way, all of this shit is fake, most of it is entrenched in an industrial system that is wildly removed from most realities, and the end result is a projection on a giant screen in a dark room

No one said otherwise. With Wes Anderson it is clearly on purpose.

Wreck-It Ralph clearly doesn't go for the realism route, yet still it's a great movie. La vita è bella is all too real, but yet it wraps this horrible topic into a comedy with an almost magical twist to it. When I consider a Wes Anderson movie to be poor, it's for a mixture of reasons, not simply because it looks the way it does.

you're right. i was misreading what is really just a descriptive statement.

this looks fun, but he continues to have the whitest casts in Hollywood

I'll watch this when it's on my TV, I like alien nostalgia

Jeffrey Wright, Stephen Park, Hong Chau and a few others appear to have missed the memo

Do they have names? Or are they just token Indians to you?
