Wes Anderson Films

I love Wes Anderson films. I loved Life Aquatic, I loved Darjeeling Ltd. Why are critics so completely wrong about him? His films are like being transported into strange and beautiful alternate realities where everything is more colourful, people talk cooler and things unfold like children's storybooks.

I'm surprised when critics say his films are heartless. I don't think they are at all.

Also, I like cats too, though I am mildly allergic to them. Bah.

ALSO:

The films of Powell & Pressburger
The films of Hayao Miyazaki
Not Now Bernard & Angry Arthur
Hills and lakes
BSG
Bluebird Bitter
The Lake District
Going places with my mates who are all ace.

Oh and to keep up the cider appearances, Brothers Strawberry Cider.

Ooooh, I love that grog. Except it does remind me of drinking so much I get horribly sunburnt and fail to notice for a few days. Ow.

That high bit of the M1 when there isn't much traffic around on an early morning.

Actually driving anywhere at about 5am on a summers morning. A couple of years ago I drove down to Bath to be there for 6.30am and it was bliss. Then I got the run of an empty Co-Op which was fun.

Or driving or walking around the deserted streets pretending that you're in the start of a zombie film when everyone else is in the pub or at home watching the England football team get beaten.

I generally walk around pretending I'm in a zombie film anyway. Result: I WIN.

Isn't Pear Cider called Perry?

I think that's only certain sorts of pear cider. There shoud be some sort of global communications network that we could look this sort of thing up on.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Perry is fizzy, non?

I saw him at the Roundhouse last year. Bloody amazing. How is it possible for anyone to be this good over this length of time?

NervousPete · **Posted:** Fri Apr 18, 2008 10:56

He's playing at the Green Man Festival this year as well, which I am determined to go to.

Perry is not all cider.
I don't know enough about perry itself but I think most is fizzy but not all? I know there is fizzy perry.
But then not all fizzy ciders are perry.

I must have cider now.

A mate of mine works for Banks' brewery, now owned by Marstons. He gets a discount at the staff shop - I make 'requests' occasionally. Last week I got 24 bottles of Brothers* pear cider for a tenner

* Eh.

I believe that Perry is British Pear Cider. If it's not from Britain in can't be called Perry. Or something.

Kinda like champagne.

Shewolf · **Posted:** Fri Apr 18, 2008 14:16

Not all british cider is perry I say.

CUS! Gief!
