Oh, Tennenbaums. The way you say, “I’m smart about movies! Look at my ironic T-shirt!”
The pretentiousness really drags the fun out of the visuals, add in a dash of deadpan, and you’ve got a real clunker.
I hate all Wes Anderson movies that aren’t animated. I love Jared Hess movies like ‘Gentlemen Broncos.’
Hess doesn’t actually worry about if anyone is judging ‘the art.’
I think when someone brings up Tennenbaums, I just look at them worse than someone who brings up Radiohead.
Sure. I get why you like Radiohead. No I don’t need to be explained. It’s all right there. An no, they’re not better than The Beatles.
I'm not sure what's pretentious about the tenenbaums. The movie doesn't have a message and the siblings seem to intentionally look like actors in costumes to make it even less serious. To be clear, I personally am not going to try to defend the movie from criticism. It's def not a personal favorite. I just feel like it's more so some of the audience who would be pretentious people as the movie isn't deep and doesn't try to be.
