And his movies are generally hilarious, while Bombauch's just go for the gut and pull out the talons. So, the next Anderson, Bombauch is not. But he still has a unique, if heartbreaking, style and vision.

Man I am actually really bummed on Anderson lately and it's only because he really is so great. Moonrise Kingdom was pretty terrible in my eyes and while I loved Grand Budapest at first, it really doesn't hold up at all. I kind of feel like he doesn't love his characters as much as he used to. The dude is a legit filmmaker but I'm kind of over his wacky stuff and especially over him doing "homages" (I'm looking right at the museum scene in Grand Budapest). Most of those film buffs yr talking about that I know really only hate him for making Rushmore and not coming close to it ever again.
