But I’m willing to take the ride.<br /><br />I always get excited about new movies early on, but by the time it’s arrived if I’m not still excited, I take it as a good reason to pass. It’s not an infallible system, but I’m stuck with it.<br /><br />I go to Anderson the way I used to go to Kubrick: I always know it will at least be interesting.Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-77182747129092486322021-10-25T21:34:31.918-05:002021-10-25T21:34:31.918-05:00A propos of nothing, when I was in law school, Ral...A propos of nothing, when I was in law school, Ralph Bakshi did a big budget animated Lord of the Rings—or rather, the first half of it, counting on the box office to finance the second half. Except it wasn’t very good, and the second half never got made. <br /><br />I never really liked the David Lynch Dune, but it had enough of that squishy nauseous feel to it so typical of Lynch that it was occasionally kind of compelling. This new one looks more like a now-conventional messianic space western from the ads. But I shouldn’t judge by that. The ads for The French Despatch don’t look great either. But I can’t wait to see it. Anderson kept us sane on election night as we spent the wee hours of the morning with the returns turned off watching Moonrise Kingdom with hope and wonder.rick allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612435616018593956noreply@blogger.com
