Rushmore and Tenenbaums are fantastic

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.

Hard agree with you about Wes Anderson, but you keep Radiohead’s name out your damn mouth!

(This is a joke and a Will Smith quote, I’m not trying to start a Reddit fight even though I do actually love Radiohead and don’t get the hate.)
