Don’t point that gun at him, he’s an unpaid intern.

“Wes Anderson doesn’t make movies anymore. He creates overly precious paintings inhabited by emasculated man-children who knit sweater vests to the accompaniment of Belle & Sebastian while fantasizing that they’re macho enough to skin a caribou with a pocketknife.”

Vice, “Criterion’s Little Fuck-Ups.” Saves me the time of hating on some of these flicks/directors myself, and gives me some pithy quotes to use in my next drunken argument.  Hating on Michael Bay is like shooting an unpaid intern in a barrel, sure.  But Kevin Smith and Fear & Loathing–far too many bar conversations have turned ugly when people go to bat for post-Rushmore Anderson, Smith, and that fucking film.
