    Looks like something trying to be deep and thinky that is vapid and shallow. But it might have substance, I cannot tell from a clip. I give it 80 percent disappointment probability. I like Tom Hanks so it might amuse me.

    I merged them because you both posted at exactly the same time.

    I didn't realize Wes Anderson had a new film coming out.

    I'm cautiously optimistic but his last few movies have been hit or miss with me. I love Moonrise Kingdom but didn't care much for The Grand Budapest Hotel. I love Isle of Dogs but didn't really like The French Dispatch.

    I didn’t like The French Dispactch that much either. I think there might have been one joke that I laughed at.

    It seems like Hope Davis is in everything these days. Your Honor on Showtime, Perry Mason on HBO, and now this movie. :chris:

    Only saw Moonrise Kingdom once, but remember liking it. The Grand Budapest Hotel is terrific. Rushmore is probably my favorite because I am Max.

    So this dropped on Amazon the other day. I thought it was a fun little story. There's not much to it and it's very meta, but it had some funny moment that I liked quite a bit. Definoitely not his best work and I don't think Tom Hanks really fits in a Wes Anderson movie, but from what I hear, the role was originally for Bill Murray which makes sense.

    I saw it on Hulu several months ago and I'm still not sure what to think about it.

    I need to rewatch it soon.

    Wasn't Wes Anderson's best, wasn't his worst. Overall was enjoyable though

    It actually does make a lot of sense if Bill Murray was originally up for Tom Hanks' role, Hanks didn't feel like a fit
