	Wes Anderson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anderson was born in Houston, Texas to Melver Leonard Anderson and Texas Ann Burroughs, the middle child of three brothers.
		Anderson is also noted for drawing on famous works of American literature, particularly the down-beat work of F.
		Anderson's protagonists are often the cause of their own downfalls, mainly stemming from their own hubris or narcissism.

	Futura and Wes Anderson (kottke.org)
		Anderson is consistent in his use of Futura (bold) in his films.
		Wes Anderson also using it consistently/repeatedly in his films doesn't strike me as bizarre or even noteworthy.
		Anderson's strongest nod was in his short version of Bottle Rocket that played at Sundance and got him the deal to do the feature.

	Wild Wes - Salon
		Anderson enjoys the kind of leeway to indulge strange impulses and thwart audience expectations that other filmmakers can only dream of.
		From his first film, "Bottle Rocket," to the acclaimed "Rushmore," to his sharp but scattered "The Royal Tenenbaums," Anderson's vision is offbeat enough to ensure that not everyone is going to understand or enjoy the quirky details and stylized interactions of his signature world.
		Despite some predictions that his film might be the sleeper hit of the holiday season, Anderson sounded both anxious and somewhat realistic about the difficulty of finding a broader audience for his work when he spoke to us from his hotel room in Los Angeles.

	FEATURES \| MAGAZINE \| VOLUME 26-5: January 2002
		As Wes Anderson ambled in for an interview at a modest Greenwich Village café, less than a half-mile from Ground Zero in New York City, the host pats me on the shoulder like an old friend.
		Anderson's previous two films centered on the conflict between individuals — two inept criminals down Texas way in Bottle Rocket, and a private-school student in Rushmore, who falls for the same widowed teacher as his adult friend.
		Anderson cited another example: a Rolling Stones song called "She Smiles Sweetly" that he knew would play in a small, confined room somewhere in the film.

	Screens: Academy Leader: An Interview with Rushmore's Wes Anderson
		While the 29-year-old Anderson is indeed a product of the 40 Acres, he is not waxing nostalgic as much as he is trying to delay or even avoid talking about his new movie Rushmore.
		When Anderson does finally allow himself to talk about the movie, it becomes apparent that he is some combination of incredibly lucky and incredibly smart.
		Somehow Anderson has not only gotten to make movies inside the system, but he has also found himself in the enviable position of having the type of creative control usually reserved for bankable names.

	Jigsaw Lounge - Interview with Wes Anderson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Wes Anderson sits happily in his private space, shielded from the world by medical screens.
		Impressive as it is, Tenenbaums falls short alongside another third movie by a prodigy named Anderson (and edited by Dylan Tichenor, coincidentally), Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia, which has the maturity to embrace messiness and ambiguity as routes to emotion and truth.
		Wes Anderson's films explore the limitations of genius - they're full of people who can't or won't grow up - and he must surely now show how he's learned from his characters' mistakes, and risk leaving smart-kid cleverness behind.

	The Films of Wes Anderson - Scathing Reviews for Bitchy People
		Anderson, 37, is one of the young generation of filmmakers whose passion for movies outweighs their prolificacy.
		Wes Anderson's other films are good too, The Royal Tannenbaums is my second favorite, although Bottle Rocket is pretty damn good, thanks to Owen Wilson (he never was quite the same again after that)...
		Although all of anderson's films are somewhat like a children's fantasy novel or picture book he went from writing with a friend from a similar background, friends acting in his films, shooting his films where or right around where he grew up to then making films in a romanticized new york and then europe.

	Comedy Central: Movies - Wes Anderson - Biography
		Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Anderson was interested in filmmaking and performance from a young age, shooting crude Super-8 movies and staging elaborate school plays (including a hand-puppet adaptation of the 1980 Kenny Rogers vehicle The Gambler).
		Anderson drew from sources as disparate as Murmur of the Heart, Charles Schultz's Peanuts cartoons, and Meatballs, giving the proceedings a giddy absurdity without ever losing genuine compassion for his characters.
		Anderson's worldview didn't serve him quite as well on his next feature, 2004's curiously titled seafaring opus The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.

	notcoming.com \| Wes Anderson's Tragic Comedy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Anderson’s characters and their quirks are thus captured with an apparent sympathy.
		Anderson’s present film, The Royal Tenenbaums, capitalizes on the director’s regard for wounded family relations, and it may stem from Rushmore’s Herman Blume who never succeeds in securing his familial role (at the end of Rushmore he is being sued for divorce).
		Though each film in Anderson’s catalogue bears a similar approach to this topic — age and its progressive emotion — when viewed in the context of a trilogy, each thematically depending upon the films it is linked to, the literal progression of age may be seen.

		But you, Wes Anderson, must remember that Mark and his music are part of the old way of doing things, the old way of being, the old way that has brought you to the precipice.

		I will be honest, when I first saw the previews to this film I was worried that Anderson may have gone the way of so many other directors who have developed their name in Hollywood.
		That is Wes Anderson humor, and it works perfectly for me. His ability to create these challenging characters and put them in situations that I never saw coming (the "pirates" scene being one of them) was outstanding.
		Anderson is slowly changing the face of cinema, and soon others will follow trying to recreate his award winning voice, but will not succeed.

	n+1
		Wes Anderson makes parodies that aim to transcend mockery and produce the emotional affects of the genres they spoof.
		It’s summed up in the new film when, as the cast confronts the (animated) jaguar shark they’ve nominally been questing after for two hours, the pregnant Cate Blanchett, apropos of not much, points out that in twelve years her unborn child will be eleven and a half.
		A casual racism pervades Anderson’s movies—it’s there in the infamous scene in Tenenbaums when Gene Hackman calls Danny Glover “Coltrane” and challenges him to a jive-off and in Rushmore in the figure of Margaret Yang, the stereotypical Asian-American striver whose devotion to her extracurriculars morphs into eros for Max Fisher.

	Why does it take Wes Anderson so long to make a movie? - By Armond White - Slate Magazine
		Wes Anderson's nostalgic remix of Jacques Cousteau and Steven Spielberg in The Life Aquatic, P.T. Anderson's heavily sampled remake of Altman's Popeye in Punch-Drunk Love, Russell's Midwestern burlesque of Sartre and Ayn Rand in I Heart Huckabees were rich stuff, overflowing with graduate-school enlightenment.
		Anderson, Russell, et al., have cultivated a perfectionist mystique, implying that they take so long between movies because each one must be complex and sublime.
		That Anderson came up with this fanciful new-millennium fabrication suggests that he, and the other Eccentrics, want to work more, and that they need a mythology to define their own filmmaking era.

	Paste Magazine :: Feature :: Going Deep With Wes Anderson (Page 1)
		This is what Anderson’s films do to minds ensnared in quotidian monotony—they are watercolor invitations to see the world afresh and askew.
		Anderson is now fully engrained into cinema’s fabric; he’s no longer the secret you can whisper to your friends.
		To stop myself from tumbling further into character, I admit to Anderson that in my personal and professional life, I’m surrounded by “quoters” who wield their ability to converse solely in lines from his films as a badge of honor.

		This tale of a trio of inept would-be criminals has little of the visual idiosyncrasies that would mark Anderson's later movies, but the theme of misfits following their hearts (regardless of the odds) is very much in place.
		Another trait Anderson's movies share is the lack of a happy ending in favor of a bittersweet one.
		Wes Anderson (and his co-writer, Owen Wilson) makes those rare movies that take us someplace that's not real, but to which we can relate, sometimes too much.

	Wes Anderson's AmEx ad. - By Seth Stevenson - Slate Magazine
		The Spot: Director Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic) takes us behind the scenes on his (fictional) new film as he shoots a sequence involving a car crash, a ballpoint pen, and a Panama hat.
		There is no one more brilliantly entertaining than Wes Anderson when he's doing what he does best, and with a two-minute leash he hasn't time to do anything else.
		As with Anderson's, this spot maximizes the director's strengths (atmospheric foreboding) and minimizes his weaknesses (forehead-slapping plot twists).

		Born in 1970 and raised in Texas, filmmaker Wes Anderson has become known after the release of his three movies, Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, as the anointed hipster auteur.

		Leading up to the release of his newest film in New York and LA on Dec. 10, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou starring Bill Murray, Anderson spoke with Gothamist via the telephone about his artistic collaborators, his filmic influences and his favorite place to grab a bowl of pasta on a Wednesday night.
