Oh, it’s Life Aquatic, though I believe this is not the consensus pick. I kinda get the impression people dislike it, which is bizarre to me because I don’t understand disliking it and liking, e.g., Grand Budapest Hotel.

Isle of Dogs is a really neat lark, and The French Dispatch is great, though it is, also, a lark (heftier emotionally, but mainly in that Anderson melancholy about things past).

I take it Rushmore is your #1 then? One of a couple of his early ones I haven’t seen. Also haven’t seen his two most recent.

Oh, and I’ll cop to it: I never consciously put it together how specifically the kids’ actions grow out of their home lives or lack thereof. (“I don’t have a home? Fine, fuck it, I’ll live outdoors.”) Nice insight!

Anyway, do you think “What kind of bird are you?” would work in real life as a pick-up line?
