* Though considering that all his movies (and even short films) are collected on the various Anderson DVDs, you could really host your own film fest with very little effort. I'd start with the Max Fischer version of OUT OF SIGHT, slip over to BOTTLE ROCKET (followed by the original short film) and head through the ouevre chronologically).

The essence of Anderson
Speaking of Wes Anderson (as I sort of was during yesterday's post), here's a trailer for the (unfortunately) fictional Wes Anderson Film Festival* that film students Alex Cornell and Phil Mills cooked up for a class. Frankly, it's pretty damned brilliant. I mean, I've seen this thing done before (Anderson's quirks are pretty easy to catalogue), but I've never seen it done this well.

Damn, I love Wes Anderson's stuff. Even though this is not as ingenious as his character reveals, it's a very good copy. I saw "Bottle Rocket" in the theater, and I thought that Owen Wilson looked like Dennis Hopper's love child. "Rushmore" was a revelation, and probably will always be my favorite, followed by "The Life Aquatic" and "Darjeeling Limited."
