Is it worth it? He is the greatest director alive after all…
>>216969305only the first three or four films are from actual 4k restorationsthe rest are 2k upscalesyou might as well wait for those early films to get standalone editions
It looks like shit. Why would someone want what looks like a shoebox on their shelf. Didn't they take into consideration that the only reason people by this stuff is for it to look neat on their shelf?
>>216969305>the greatest director alive after all
the grand budapest hotel is the stupidesst movie i ever watched
>>216969411If you enjoy the films of Wes Anderson, and especially if you enjoy them enough to shell out for this, then you would appreciate the library archive aesthetic.
>>216969411that's just the shipping box.you're supposed to put the booklooking thing on the dvd shelf in your soicave
>>216969305Wait a while and pick up the set on sale or used. I only enjoy a few of his films. Meanwhile, there's still no Freddy Got Fingered bluray... Criterion!
>>216969305Damn is Criterion going broke? Looks like shit!
>>216969305>10 films for £400Daylight robbery, sincerely hope these things have to be reduced to clear. Wes Anderson is a piece of shit for even agreeing to this narcissistic abomination.
>>216969728And it doesn’t even include his latest film lol
Meanwhile this thing is only $240
>>216969787I take it little Wes never worked retail, or did but was too artistic to understand how the real world works. If he included the latest for free and charged a reasonable price for the set it would actually be selling, and boosting sales for the latest one.
Where is the Paul W.S. Anderson set?
>>216969305Of course it's fucking orange and green and made to look like the third volume of a history of parish names.
>>216969305Only if you can picture yourself in this picture.
>all the discs look the sameLame collectors item
pretty gay to buy a big expensive box set of a director who's still making movies.
>>216969787>>216969900Universal has his latest film in printno reason to license it to Criterion and get cucked out of their money
>>216970023No one watched it though
>>216969849That’s their best set. The Fellini one is good, too.

>>216969305The Royal Tenenbaums was the most unwatchable garbage I've ever experienced
>>216969305Everything past Tenenbaums is bad
>>216970481Oh I was talking about the asteroid one, didn’t even know he had another.So I guess the criterion is missing 2 movies, what a fail.
>>216969305Make your own decisions I'm tired of you.
>>216969945Based tbqh.
>>216970597I spur conversation
fuck wes anderson and his bullshit faggot films im never watching another again
>>216969849The Bergman one is quite a deal. 39 films and a 248-page coffee table book.
>>216970713Good, the filter is working.
>>216970719You can download all of that for free
>>216969849>>216970719Need one of these for>Bresson>Truffaut>Goddard>Welles>LynchIdk why they’re doing living directors. Pretty stupid.
>>216969900He and the Wilson brothers grew up together as rich boys in Texas. He was probably that snooty rich dickhead kid who harassed book and record store workers and they put up with him because he spent a lot of money at the store. Guarantee you he was like that dweeb from Rushmore as a teenager.
>>216970755Being a poorshit is beneath me.
>>216969305Why would you buy one of these if the director isn’t dead yet? He could always release another film and then it won’t match or be included
>>216969305Asteroid City was him at his worst, obnoxious, awful, turned it off after 45 minutes. Phoenician Scheme was much better, very good performances, better overall story, lots of heart, in his top 5 for me. I think he has several more great films in him.
>>216970862His 3 latest films already aren’t included. It was never meant to be a complete set.
>>216970799I'll be first in line for a Robert Altman Criterion box set like this.
>>216969305This will be incomplete the moment he announces his next flick.
>>216970802This rings true but for one detail; being an enthusiast is not harassment. One would hope the wage earners at bookstores and record shops appreciate a customer who is passionate about their wares.
>>216970906The one before AS was god-awful, The French Dispatch. Besides the naked beauty of Seydoux, garbage. Asteroid City was at least visually nice to watch and interesting enough.
>>216970805If you weren't poor you would have a 200Tb+ home server of movies
>>216970922that would be a dream come true but Altman has plenty of films stuck with the mouse including major ones like M*A*S*H and 3 Women
>>216970952Fair point. Also younger Wes seems a lot cooler than who he became, before he flew a burnt orange and goldenrod colored vintage balloon up his own ass.
>>2169709803 Women is on CriterionThey don’t have Mash or Nashville though
>>216970980Fine. I'll take a 4K remaster blu ray deluxe Criterion edition of O.C. and Stiggs then.
>>216969305No, bc your fucking collection is going to look like this plus a bunch of loose discs from the movies he hasn't made yet. This leaves no room to expand on it as he continues to work. It’s going to be a very untidy, un-WesA like mess on that shelf anon.
>>216969480It’s the best, you’ve just failed to appreciate it, bc you are a failure at life, the universe, and everything.
>>216971039it's currently under license from old Fox but if they were to include it in a future box set they'd need Disney's permission>>216971082already out by Radiance
>>216969910In the dumpster where it belongs. I mean jfc Paul really fell to the depths of film and stayed there.
>>216971191Nice. This is the best teen comedy of the 1980s.
>>216969471Polanski… now that’d make a good box set.
>>216970906I was so hoping for a wes anderson flick set on a space ship or station, some mid century space age set that matched the advertising of the day, playing around with the habitrail-like cramoed environment, with semi-fictional astronomical phenomena like the fish in life aquatic.For a brief few months I was so excited that asteroid city was going to be that. Instead, we got… that. Hm. Well shit he’s not going to turn around and do space flick any time soon now is he. I hope I get to see one at some point before the cancer gets me.
>>216971227let me dig it out
>>216971268get it
>>216969305Of the ones I've seen, only Grand Budapest Hotel was any good, so no.
>>216971007Indeed, he does seem to have fallen off. Grand Budapest was concerning, and the French Dispatch was so poor that I skipped Asteroid City. I heard he is back on track with Phoenician Scheme but I still have not made time for it. If you ask me, trading Owen Wilson for the likes of Noah Baumbach etc. as a writing partner was the beginning of the end for WA. Hanging with Wes and Owen at UT must have been based.
>>216971268Oh I have his collection already:Tails of groupies and rosesStarfucker Starfucker Starfucker StarTeenage buttsluts 15Anal creampie partyBackdoor Loli’s in the backroomHot Dog in the BunsButt thats where my doggy goes!Short Trips: quick stop on the A trainCream in the buns: How I fucked up my whole life (but it was totally worth it omfg)
>>216970571>implying Moonrise Kingdom is goated, as the kids say. Zissou is also charming.
>>216969305Hm…Hell Yes: The Life Aquatic (maybe fave movie innawhirled)Yes: Moonrise Kingdom, GBH, Royal TenenbaumsMeh: The restStill those 4 are strong enough he’s in my top 3 living filmmakers.
>>216969305> made it look like books to appeal to the performative minds of wes anderson fans
>>216971007He did start out somewhat normal, he just got sorta storybooky going from Rushmore to royal tenenbaums, and then dove in with both feet on Life Aquatic, which was perfect for that bc it’s an emotionally mature story but set in a jacques cousteau fantasy adventure, so the whole thing has a pretty loose relationship with reality.But then ok, Moonrise is great if you were ever in the scouts as a kid bc the memories of that are pretty strange & questionable like the film. & GBHotel is the point where he pushes his cardboard cutout storybook style about as far as it can go. …before French Duspatch & Ass City are just too unrealistic they come off stilted and contrived. Phonecian dials it back and at least stays in photographic reality but idk, maybe Wes just has to find his stride again after Wilson.Not sure what happened to he & Wilson but the two created some perfectly balanced art.
>>216969305Why would they make a box set when he is still making movies?
>>216969516and fags like anal sex
>>216972252Do you feel clever now?
>>216969305>is it worth itIt’s Wes Anderson, so no.
>>216970952you sound like an insufferable asshole
>>216972347Rude!
>>216972275your mom is clever
>>216969849Jesus, this is gorgeous, not a fan of the slip sleeve, but it totally works here. Makes Wed Underson look like amateur hour, understandably so
>>216969305>Is it worth it?If you like him, yes>He is the greatest director alive after all…That's your opinion. I like some of his stuff, but I disagree.
>>216972252Straight guys do too. I’ve buttfucked every girl ive ever dated. Someday you’ll marry some pretty little thing who only does vaginal and youkll be so impressed in her white wedding dress looking pure as the driven snow and it’ll only be bc you don’t know that twice a day for months i worked a vibrator in her vag while I rammed meat up her ass and pumped her full of my genetic filth while denying her the pleasure of the mental possibility of fetilization. You poor fuck.
>>216973426t. Poopdick
>>216969305>styled like books how embarrassing lmfao
>>216969305This doesn't even include all of his movies
Did he died? Or quit making movies forever? Otherwise what's the point of buying this, since it would become incomplete shirtly after the fact?
>>216974454>...and don't call me Shirtly!
>>216969305Nah just get Fantastic Mr Fox and Grand Budapest Hotel separately
