What "Point Break" Would Look Like If It Was Directed By Wes Anderson

The dude was in Devo AND wrote the theme song for the Rugrats!
Plus a really terrible tattoo offer, Jon Hamm the comedy nerd, and a ranking of everything Wes Anderson has ever directed.
Plus the quest to make Quidditch a serious sport, things you didn’t know about Nutella, and China’s feelings on Django Unchained.

It’s nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar, so this is pretty legit.
Face it, the most memorable songs in movies are usually the ones we already know, not the original tunes.
Spot on, Conan.
Literally every couple on the internet dressed up as Sam Shakusky and Suzy Bishop from Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom.
Spoke Art presented these limited edition posters at New York Comic-Con last weekend in advance of their annual Wes Anderson art show in San Francisco.
Mr. Wes meets Mr. West in this blog that matches up screencaps of Wes Anderson movies with Kanye West lyrics. Look at all the Futura!
Irene Hwang makes these super-detailed “matryoshka” doll (nesting doll) sets for the pop-culture junkies and cult-film fanatics. From Reno 911 to The Royal Tenenbaums, these sets span practically the entire geek oeuvre.
“What are your five favorite films?” is the question Rotten Tomatoes has been posing to celebrities for years. Here are some of the most revealing lists they have published. Please, add your own top five in the comments (and explain why they are the best, that makes it way more interesting)!
Despite their limited audiences, it’s hard to deny that directors with cult followings are very talented… in one way or another. Here are ten directors whose films have attracted the largest cult followings. And if you want the chance to talk about movies with one of them, check out Spoilers with Kevin Smith, a Hulu Original Series.
Somebody put together a color palette for The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, The Life Aquatic, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Moonrise Kingdom. Thanks, internet!
What if you wanted to aesthetically base your life on this movie? First of all, you need to make sure your surroundings look like a vintage postcard from Maine. Secondly, you have to be totally copacetic with smelling like a musty attic at all times.
Just in time for Moonrise Kingdom.
NPR recently did a feature on how the “Moonrise Kingdom” director develops his amazing, moody soundtracks. The “Wes Anderson sound” is impossible to nail down to one era or genre alone, although a healthy dose of forgotten or under-appreciated ’60s-’70s rockers is a requirement… Mostly, though, all of his soundtracks share a certain, specific je ne sais quoi that I wanted to try to recreate for my fantasy soundtrack.
Not to be crude, but this is a Wes Anderson fan’s wet dream.
Apparently, there is an even dumber way to do a film adaptation of Battleship. On the plus side, this would have a way better soundtrack I guess.
In case you’re too lazy to watch the trailer from Wes Anderson’s upcoming movie. Jeez, did he shoot the whole thing on Instagram or something?
Such mixed feelings on this. I hate when I actually like commercials, but these are pretty good. (via vulture.com)
Anderson gets so much credit for his elegant soundtrack choices, but he could have just picked Ja Rule every time. (via theaggregate.net)
Hands are representative of the elitism in an apathetic youth culture. Obviously.
The widely followed Twitter account @HuffingtonPost has been posting homophobic and strange messages Sunday afternoon. One tweet attributes the hacking to the “New York Post.”
The first trailer for Anderson’s latest film is online. In addition to all of the standard Anderson touches (muted color palette, Jason Schwartzman, deadpan, and Bill Murray), the film also has Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, and Tilda Swinton. It takes place at camp. It looks like a fun time.
The A.V. Club traveled to the Royal Tenenbaums’ brownstone located in Harlem and created a short but interesting travel doc to go along with their visit. I also included a Google Map to the Wes Anderson fan’s equivalent of Graceland as well in case you wanted to make a visit. View List ›
This Tumblr argues that Max Fischer is actually the author of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Are they onto something or is it just a crazy theory?
Ed Norton, Frances McDormand, Jason Schwartzman, Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton and Bill Murray. Hell of a cast.
Chock full o’ famous people.
