Wes Anderson is a popular 2000s indie filmmaker who made hit films like the Rushmore and the Royal Tenenbaums. However, he is still searching for relevancy in the 2k10 decade, but he kinda has a formula where he writes the same film over and over again, but changes the setting, and then casts a bunch of 'moderately washed up' actors/actresses 2 try to revive their careers. Sorta like what Tarantino did 4 Johnny Travolta with Pulp Fiction, except I don't think it actually works because the actors mainly just get thrown more simple 'indie meaningful quirky comedies.'
Apparently Wes Anderson is casting Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, and that broad who 'crushed it' in Fargo in his new movie.
When Wes Anderson is ready to make a movie, talent comes running. I'm told that Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton are all in talks to star in Moon Rise Kingdom, a script that Anderson wrote with Roman Coppola and which Anderson will direct late next spring.
Wonder if this will be good for their careers or if Wes Anderson's time as a 'respected American filmmaker' is over. Can Wes Anderson rebound? What will the movie be abt? A mix of every movie he's already made? What roles do u think these actors will play?
Will Bruce Willis recapture his form from 'Die Hard: Pt 3 With Some Vengeance'?
Will Edward Norton bring back the swastika tat? Has Eddie Norton had a disappointing career post-Fight Club/Rounders/AmHistX?
Is Frances McDormand only good in Coen Brothers films?
Will Bill Murray just keep doing his half-ass old man indie movie gimmick? Was Bill Murray's 2k0's career resurgence overrated?
Who knows if Wes will recapture the magic... Kinda worried...
Moon Rise Kingdom is set in the 60s. Two young adults fall in love and run away. Leaders in their New England town are sticking the idea that they've disappeared and go in search of them. Norton will play a scout leader who brings his charges on a search. Willis is in talks to play the town sheriff who's also looking, and who is having an affair with the missing girl's mother, the role McDormand is in talks to play. Murray, a regular in Anderson films, will play the girl's father, who has his own issues.
Will Wes Anderson 'surprise us' with a new gimmick? Will he continue to rely on simple characters masked by elaborate costumes/sets? Does Wes Anderson need 2 evolve with his fan base? Do u <3 Wes Anderson films? Will this film be a 'box office hit' or will it 'tank'? What is Wes Anderson's most commercially successful film? Will studios give up on Wes Anderson if he doesn't achieve box office/financial success? Who should Wes Anderson cast in his latest movie? Do u think respected actors still want 2 work with Wes Anderson, or have they given up on his brand? Will Bruce Willis ever recover from letting Ashton Kutcher steal his wife + kids? Should I invest in/bet on Bruce Willis to become 'the Bill Murray of the 2k10s'?
Hi Who r u? U look kinda familiar R u that lil free spirited bro from Iceland?
I think his name is Jonsi (the distant cousin of Bjork)
Oh damn Is that u Sufjan? U look kinda like u compartmentalized the Jonsi Icelandic Neon Indian Costume in2 several costumes That's chill I guess Not sure if ur 'ripping him off' or yall are just 'in the same tribe' or something So many costume changes Feels like a Lady Gaga concert or something Keut Jacket. I think I got the same 1 from Am Appy a few years ago Not sure what to make of ur new brand Kinda confused Thought u just played banjo and sang in a humble voice
That's kewl, I guess...
Rlly confused U look like an electro Arab in this pic Electro Bin Laden AltBro Hussein
Oh Sufjy.... Rlly can't tell the difference between u and Jonsi any more Except that Jonsi potentially makes better/more uplifting music and Sufjan's stuff is all bleepy bloopy
Dance! Sufjy! Dance!
U r the ultimate electro altbro
Wonder if Jonsi has stolen ur meaningfulcore market share
Can u tell the difference between Jonsi and Sufjan Stevens? Who makes better music? Who is more authentic? Who is keuter? Who would u rather go on a meaningful camping trip with [via being from the Neon Indian wilderness]? Do u think their costumes are offensive to groups of ethnic ppl?
WAVVES and Best Coast are a high profile indie celebrity couple. They have been 'tearing up' 2k10 together, dropping memes, signing to shoe/soda record labels, and doing their best 2 'stay relevant' and become 'top tier indie bands'/make weed money.
It seems like Target has 'signed them' to their 'record label' to write a Christmas song. It is only like an 80 second song, so I hope they made 'mad bank' 4 this one. Maybe it will be featured in a commercial 4 Target, encouraging ppl to go to Target to buy gifts 4 their loved 1s.
Is this better than WAVVES' Mountain Dew song? Is this better than Best Coast's Converse Song? Do they need 2 stop writing songs for brands and start writing songs 4 fans? Are brand record labels ruining the indiesphere? Will this song become a timeless Christmas classic? Are indie xmas songs 'born 2 b forgotten'? Are WAVVES + BC 'smart' for making cash off these brands, or does it just mean that indie bands are 'desperate 4 money'?
Do u think Best Coast needs to ditch WAVVES and focus on her solo marketability? Should TARGET begin 2 sell indie records 2 appeal to alts/cool dads? Is this gonna inspire indie ppl to do their xmas shopping at Target? Is this song secretly abt weed/dank/marijuana? R u tired of Best Coast + WAVVES? Have they received 'too much exposure' in 2k10? What is a good alt xmas gift? Do u know of any authentic indie christmas songs, or are they just created as 'blog fodder'?
Steve Aoki is a LosAngeles-based DJ who is known for 'tearing shit up', 'bringing it hard', 'crushing it', 'killing it', and 'riding banger waves' each and every time he plays. He has transitioned from being 'just a DJ' to turning into an international lifestyle brand. It seems like he is 'a big deal' in Asia because AZNs want to be from America, but they are stuck on miscellaneous island countries wearing shutter shades and voting 4 Manny Pacquiao/Yao Ming 4 President of Asia.
Anyways, in this video u can see footage from Steve Abroki's Asian Tour, and he is basically 'treated like a God' when he goes there. Not sure why he ever even leaves. It seems like he brought his 'white woman' with him to let all of the Asian girls know that the most successful AZN men prefer to date outside of their race instead of conforming + generating a new AZN kid. Feel like this whole video is just about Steve being tossed around everywhere, treated like a 'high-roller', every AZN looking at him him like he is the Dolly Llama or something, coming 2 heal them/give them a lot of money + good fortune.
Sorta wish I could be Steve Bro. Seems like DJs really get to 'live an amazing life.' Maybe I could be 'big in Japan/Bangcocks/Malayasia/Singapoor/etc.' Jealous of Steve. Seems like he gets to 'crush it' all around the world. His brand means something 2 a lot of ppl. Rlly jeal.
Wish I could be Lord_of_the_AZNs.
Do u know who Mexicans consider 2 be their God? does Steve Aoki 'resonate' more with 2nd/3rd world fans than with American fans? Do u wish u were a pioneer of the Los Angeles electro scene? Is Steve Aoki 'the AZN Beatles'?
Lykke Li is some singer broad from Scandinavia, I think, and she got a lot of blog buzz, but now she is no longer an 'undiscovered gem' and has to 'bring it' on her new album. I think her gimmick is that she has 'baller ass' producers, then she has a unique lil baby-esque voice, then she just sings girly lil lyrics except in a kinda conceptual way.
No idea if she has a new album coming out or what. Anyways, song is kinda weird and tribal, and in the video she doesn't really 'show enough skin.' Really trying to figure out whether or not she is sexie/bloggable. Can't tell if she is 'hiding' her body in that 1 piece or maybe she is gonna wear a lil bikini for us later. More confused than evr but I think she had some good MP3s a few years ago. I think she definitely should focus on 'being sexie' instead of riding the Stevie Nicks wave of getting all weird and spiritual like a cougar woman.
Do u like Lykke Li? Is she 'blogworthy'? Is she a Grade-A piece of indie A$$ that deserves 'mad coverage'? Should Zooey Deschanel copy Lykke Li's brand? Is this song 'terrible'? Is Lykke Li's voice gimmicky? Would Lykke Li 'be nothing' without her male producers? Behind every buzzworthy female singer is there a bro doing all of the heavy lifting? Should we call this the 'Him and She Theory'?
Best Coast is the lead singer of the band Best Coast. Unfortunately, she didn't 'twitpic' her Halloween Costume around the actual Hollawean Holiday, so now we have to 'scramble' to build a time machine 2 help ppl try to get back in the Halloween Spirit. Anyways, it looks like she dressed as Snacks the Cat, and Bobb Bruno dressed as 'Hook, the abusive pirate.'
Not really much of a meme here, but just wanted to ask, who is keuter, the original Best Coast, or HRO's Snacks the Cat Girl?
#TeamBethanyAsSnacks?
Team Snacks the Cat Girl?
#Team_The_Drummer_fromBestCoast?
Or Snacks the Cat Girl?
Bethany Dressed as a 'jock' / teen wolf?
Or Snacks the cat Girl?
Who was a better 'Snacks'? Do yall <3 Bethany? Does Best Coast need to 'step it up' and tweet her actual costume on Halloween? Do yall miss Snacks the Cat Girl? [link] Who would Snacks rather have as its owner? Do yall miss Halloween costume memes? Do u wear a costume every day? [via trapped in society] Should Bethany get a cat face tattoo on her face / go 2 a plastic surgeon 2 morph in2 a kitty kat?
Many readers have demanded more coverage of Regine Chassagne, the lead singer of the Arcade Fire. Carles has responded by compiling a tribute video of 'only her' during the Arcade Fire's set on Saturday Night Live. Carles, acting as video editor/art director attempted to cut out as many shots of other band members as possible so that U can focus only on Regine. Do u <3 Regine more than evr?
Regine... Regine... Regine... U've done it again U stole the show away from Win Butler, away from the rest of the band
I don't know how u do it ur beautiful vocals ur beautiful dress ur streamers that blow in the wind as u spin round and round...
Ur rlly like the wind [via Patty Swayze] I think I prefer the Arcade Fire when they 'trim the fat' Show less of the bros Show more of u
Don't get me wrong, Win seems chill heard he is rlly good at basketball with a game similar to Dirk Nowitzki's But cmon
I know he is doing the whole 'nice boyfriend thing' Coming over to kiss u after the show 2 mark his territory but who is he kidding U could have any bro on the planet With ur pipes Ur talent Ur bod I think it's time 2 go solo, Regine Leave those Canadian bros behind work on ur solo project Become the perfect combo of Feist, Joanna Newsom and Bjork U can do it U'd get so much coverage Divorce Win Butty I know u don't <3 him or else ur name would be 'Regine Butler'
There was a point in ur SNL performance where u were done singing and u coulda just stood there with ur thumb up ur ass but instead u constructed meaningful streamer things and danced around flailing them in the wind Ur bigger than the Arcade Fire, Regine Leave them behind There is no way they can get mainstreamier Honestly believe Passion Pit and MGMT have more commercial upside right now
Regine... Oh Regine... I don't know what it is abt u But u r clearly the #1 female in indie music right now
<3 Regine <3 She's kinda like the wind....
Do u <3 Regine? Should Regine leave the Arcade Fire? Does Win need to stop giving her PDAs to 'mark his territory'? Do u think they are rlly in love, or do u have a chance with Regine if u pretend 2 be in2 Haiti? Is Regine the most important member of the Arcade Fire? Should the Arcade Fire 'kick her out'? Is Regine the Stevie Nicks of the Arcade Fire? Will Regine 4evr be known as Regine "I heard her singing and I told her to stop" Chassagne?
