when did these start becoming part of the memestream?
Yesterday my esteemed colleague Tyler Coates ranked the oeuvre of Wes Anderson in descending order of quality. You can read the post here, but the sequence is as follows: Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, Bottle Rocket, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The Darjeeling Limited. Although he didn’t explicitly state it, he told me IRL that he “would rank Moonrise Kingdom between The Royal Tenenbaums and Fantastic Mr. Fox.” Although I like Mr. Coates as a person and think he does a stellar job as the Senior Editor of BlackBook, I believe his appraisal fails in several important ways. The first is that it is wrong.
Is it cliched to love wes anderson as a director? I’ve liked his work since bottle rocket.
Sci-FI NES Games from a Parallel Dimension
ianbrooks: We were unfortunate enough to live through such horrible movie-licensed games like Robocop, Total Recall, and E.T. (or as we usually refer to it: That Game Which Shall Not Be Named), but perhaps somewhere in an alternate timeline where good things happened and people knew how to make good movie-based vidya gaemz, we could have had such instant classics like “They Live!” (with real 3D glasses action? Give me that) and MST3K (do you play the movie they’re watching, or just Press A to quip?)
Yes.
