There are people all over this very comment section talking about how much they like [insert Wes film here] and dislike [insert other Wes film here]. It's not some kind of "cult." Even those of us who like his style don't necessarily fawn over everything he does (I'm about as big a Wes fanboy as it gets, but I still…

Grand Budapest looks like the "same fucking thing" as Moonrise Kingdom? Uh, OK.

Yes, let's thank him for his hyperbolic, unfounded and unexplained vitriol. That has certainly added to the debate.

Francoise Hardy, Hank Williams Sr.

I don't know. He's a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

It seems to be the least-loved. Life Aquatic is the only one that doesn't click for me, although it has some great moments.

No pop music this time, from what I hear. A first for him.

Your take on Darjeeling is rather unhinged and unfair, but your overall opinion on his work seems to be fairly typical. I don't share your view, but I'm sure you'll find plenty of sympathy for it.

Yeah, at least from the limited view we get in the trailers, that's easily the best old-age makeup job I've ever seen.

I would say Rushmore should be your next stop. Life Aquatic is for advanced swimmers only.

Buddy went to pieces.

Somebody blows his nose and you want to keep it?

To paraphrase Jack Donaghy, this country needs more Liz Lemons, not fewer.

"I have theory that…"

McCrea was just crushing it in the early '40s: Foreign Correspondent, Sullivan's Travels, Palm Beach Story, The More the Merrier.

I seriously doubt any of Troy McClure's filmstrips/PSA's were intended to be "believable."

I took it as more that he's really not much of a Beatles fan at all but still wants to capitalize on having met them and ingratiate himself by pretending to be a bigger fan than he is. There's nothing "foreign" about the way he botches the lyric to "Live and Let Die"—he just doesn't really care enough to learn it. I…

Well, considering the contents of hot dogs as revealed elsewhere in the episode, he's doing his customers a valuable service. In real life, however? I'm a carnivore who actually likes tofu in most forms, but tofu dogs just aren't very good, IMO.
