- Speaking of Wes Anderson (in the contest today), a graphic designer named Beth Mathews pulled the five-color color palettte from each of his films, and it is neat to see. Look at it! -BethMathews
- Max Greenfield, New Girl‘s Schmidt, was on The Late Late Show last night and he plays an “awkward pause” game, which I guess is a thing, and guys, he’s just the best. Love that guy. -Yahoo
- Apparently there are a few scalpers out there selling Dark Knight Rises tickets for hundreds of dollars, which is very upsetting, but the more upsetting thing is that this must mean there are at least a few people out there BUYING DKR tickets for hundreds of dollars. You can see it later!!! Where is LCD Soundsystem when you need them?! -FilmDrunk
- Here are a few critics takes on how badly Tom Cruise embarrasses himself in your #1 fave movie of the summer, Rock of Ages. What a blast you’ll have, seeing that again and again! -TheWeek
- And, TO BE FAIR, here is a sweet story about a nice thing Tom Cruise (and his assistant Katie Holmes?) did for Bill Hader one time. -Vulture
- This is an interesting and then depressing story about a man with locked-in syndrom writing his first tweet WITH HIS EYES, and heading to court to argue that a doctor should be able to end his life. That is the awfully sad part. -Hypervocal
- Almost everyone has sent this in already, but for the rest of you: Here is the Corgi version of “Call Me Maybe” that everyone is going nuts over. Oh! -Dlisted

I have not watched New Girl, so I do not know Schmidt (although I hope he is doing the name proud)(Not that I have any connection to that name or anything) but aaaaaaah! Craig Ferguson is the best! The awkward pauses are my favorite! Yaaaay!
YES, CRAIG FERGUSON AND AWKWARD PAUSES 4EVA.
New Girl is a good show and Schmidt is a very likeable character.
Max Greenfield is also Deputy Leo from Veronica Mars.
“Vaguely racist” is missing from the Darjeeling color palette.
RANT TIME!
It’s nice to see something that varies between WA’s films, though these palettes don’t even seem drastically different to me. I was so angry after seeing Moonrise Kingdom last week, as he’s basically made the same movie 7 times and yet people still give him a pass. Like, even Michael Bay’s movies have more diversity in tone and style/feel than Wes Anderson. I’ve had enough of quirky yet damaged white people who have issues with authority/their parents. Also, I wanted to slap half the audience last week, as they were all laughing at things that weren’t even supposed to be funny but were those “Wes Anderson moments”. It was like self-congratulatory laughter like “we get you, Wes.”
That said, I still do love Fantastic Mr Fox. I would just love to see Wes Anderson do something different.
Sorry, that rant’s been building up for a week now.
Many artists revisit themes over and over again throughout their lives (Woody Allen with relationships and infedility,, Scorsese with surrogate fathers, crime and redemption). Anderson’s films are not all the same, although his themes usually are. Guilty as charged. If you wish to see him branch out into other themes, that’s totally fine. But don’t be surprised when he doesn’t, and don’t be so cynical because he does!

isn’t vaguely racist an overt theme of the movie, though? I mean, 3 white dudes go to India to seek “enlightenment.” It’s all kind of over the top and ridiculous, but it’s meant to show that just going to another country and pretending to be part of the culture doesn’t make you a better person.
or are there other vaguely racist things i missed?
Nope that’s what I meant. Like when the one kid dies when they’re saving them from the river and one of the brothers (I forget which; I’ve avoided that movie since I first saw it) shouts “I lost mine” as if the kid was an object.
