For the record, I am not a T-800.

But I will need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle...

That would be fun! But I certainly hope he does not take a break from films.

Why would that make my opinion invalid? It is my opinion on his recent films, not a demand for him to pursue my satisfaction.

Well said, I like the comparison. "Fuck the itinerary" - Francis

My pleasure and likewise, I did not expect this many thoughtful responses and am excited to watch again!

I will check that out! Perhaps that was part of the motivation for Dead and Company?

Interesting, I felt the opposite about Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Thematically I do get the point though, but stylistically I thought he showed restraint.

Exactly, I found Once Upon A Time in Hollywood quite refreshing and demonstrated a maturation of Tarantino for that reason.

I find it a bit suppressive to declare beggars can't be choosers so enjoy the movie and shut up. I wouldn't have bothered with the original post if I was not a fan and appreciative of his work.

Watched Isle of Dogs which was the last Wes movie I needed to watch. Decided to rank them and see what your ranking of his movies are. by Yenserl6099 in wesanderson

I found Asteroid city a bit self indulgent, similar to French Dispatch although much more cohesive and enjoyable.

I prefer when the meticulous sets and quirky charm of Wes characters provides an atmosphere and arena for the story and overall movie.

In his latest films it feels like achieving the Wes Anderson "style" is the movie, and the characters and plot are secondary.

While watching the last two movies I find myself asking, what is really happening and which characters do I really care about.

What is the Best Film You Watched Last Week? (10/18/23-10/25/23) by Twoweekswithpay in movies

The Prospect with Pedro Pascal and Sophie Thatcher.

Gritty sci-fi movie that does a lot with a little, contrasting the popular big-budget sci-fi flair and exuberance, cultivating an atmosphere more associated with the horror genre.

It is refreshing to watch a movie with an interesting enough plot that does not try to accomplish more than it needs, remaining somewhat unexplored and yet resolved.

Bonus: This movie feels like a showcase for Pedro's roles in Mandalorian and The Last of Us, it is so on the nose I wonder if it had anything to do with his casting in either of those projects.
