Rushmore is a 'movie'. His other works are more like home movies or postcards of various flitting scenes, aesthetically nice but revealing a hollowness in those who profess to like them in some faux gauche attempt to be indie / hipster.

Rushmore is my favorite of Wes Anderson films, but your post is kind of ironic.
Don't you think that some people may actually prefer other films to Rushmore? That people have their own taste and opinions? Or you're so arrogant that you won't even accept this as a plausible scenario?
...and then she stepped on the ball.
shareI agree. His other films are pretty and I can enjoy them, but I just feel like they are kind of in their own little world and this movie and maybe Royal Tenenbaums are a lot more grounded. It feels like there is a point to this movie and the rest seem so superfluous. They don't seem like movies. They're like long drawn out commercials.Granted, I haven't seen Life Aquatic. I can't explain it, but you're right. There is a hollowness when I watch Moonrise or the one with Ralph Fiennes. I kind of liked Darjeeling Limited, but it felt a little pointless too.
