The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
"Good evening, Mr. Sugar," said, well, said this post. Whose job it was to never forget a face. Not least your most lovely visage.
You must forgive us. We find ourselves in something of a straight-faced frenzy for all things whimsical, symmetrical, deadpan, and meticulously crafted—like, by way of example, Wes Anderson's take on the lesser-known Roald Dahl short story: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. It features a pleasing color palette, an ensemble cast, a parable of spiritual growth, this idiosyncratic director's visual inventiveness, distinctive style (such style), and Benedict Cumberbatch with a delightful mustache. At this point, we would say something like what's not to like? or need we say more? But why would we say this. There is nothing not to like here. There is nothing else that needs to be said. It's Benedict Cumberbatch—with a mustache.
We relent. If you really remain unconvinced, we will make the case by sewing together all of the above (the palette, the style ((such style)), Cumberbatch, etc.) and present what we consider one of the finest shots ever put to film. Exhibit A.
If that doesn't persuade you, perhaps we can sweeten the deal with this: The Benedict Cumberbatch Name Generator.

Jason Schwartzman is my Roman Empire.
WOOF WOOF BARK I need him so badddddddd :(
I feel silly posting this but I need to express my feelings I don’t care. I wanna give him head, that sounds so bad considering he’s nearly 2 decades older than me but um who really cares?
I watched Scott pilgrim last night and when I realised it was Jason playing that stupid little emo Gideon I DIED. My last 2 hours have been spent watching edits of Jason, I printed out photos of him and stuck them on my wall, I watched 1 hours worth of interviews just for him. And in all honesty..the reason I saw the new hunger games was because he was in it.. don’t tell anybody.
Also his hands are really hot. Usually hair on men’s hands make me feel gross, but Jason? I want them is inside me. WOAH WHO SAID THAT??!

I’ve been watching theories and explanations of ‘Asteroid City’ and in my opinion the views that people have are completely wrong, so I’m going to explain the meaning of it, or what the meaning is in my perception.
Now, I’ll start off with the fact that one person claimed that Wes Anderson films have little meaning and value aesthetics above the story, which he’s tried to counteract by making a purposefully meaningless story in Asteroid.
No. Just no.
Every Wes Anderson film, as I see it, is used to display a certain type of relationship. The Grand Budapest Hotel shows the friendship between the Mr Gustave and Zero. The Darjeeling limited shows the relationship of the three brothers. Moonrise kingdom shows the relationship of the two children in their young love, I could go on with every film but you get the point.
The person was correct that yes, this film is slightly different to the others, it doesn’t display the relationship between people as they’re together, it more shows how relationships are everlasting through feelings of grief. Particularly the grief of the actors for the playwright, which is represented through their characters.
It’s true that the film has a sense of meaningless to it, but this is used to display the meaningless feel of death, how no one can comprehend the incomprehensible. They try to understand the alien, which even we don’t know anything about and they never can, much like how us as humans will never truly understand grief.
The meaningless is reflected through the character of Augie (played by Jason Schwartzman) who tells the director that he still doesn’t understand the play. It is no coincidence that this is also the person who had a relationship with the playwright, who died. These two are interlinked because much like the way that he doesn’t understand the okay, he doesn’t understand the grief that he’s feeling.
What I’m trying to say is that Wes Anderson has clearly thought out his films thoroughly and filled them with meaning and to say that every film is entirely meaningless is completely wrong. Rant over.

Alright, Alright..let’s talk about this man right here..
I love this man, I don’t know if I want to be him or be with him I genuinely cannot decide. He is me, I am him in every way. The author says he suspects Jean ain’t well paid, and neither am I, so..we’re soulmates.
He’s a lazy concierge, he’s dressed like he wants me to undress him and quite honestly he’s looking better than anybody else in that hotel.
I mean.. THAT HAIR? God, Jason Schwartzman ate the role up and even licked the plate clean. Every time I rewatch this movie I get excited when he comes on, I’m not really sure why maybe because he’s so cutesy 😗
Also that little bit of hair sticking up on his left is so hot, idek anymore
Honestly I don’t know what I’m even doing this is honestly just me impulsivity writing about stuff I like, kinda like a diary so feel free to ignore this. But..if you also like this mf here is a free lollipop: 🍭
