So, I suppose that it’s only a coincidence that the author of the Slate.com article “discovering” racism in Wes’ films is Weiner. Is that pronounced “whiner” (appropriate) or “weeeener” (more appropriate)?

What amazed me about the linked blog, “furthering” claims of Wes’ prejudices and demolishing the non-existent friendship between the writer of the post and Anderson, is that the writer has yet to see the film. Thea says, “Maybe I’m being prematurely judgemental . . .”

Randy says, “Maybe, on this point, you’re right, Thea.”

Now, I’m sick too. Video blogging, here I come.

So am I racist/sexist for having watched Darjeeling and having no idea what the claims might be about?

I’ll check the articles in a second . . .

I thought that the movie was pretty respectful of the Indian culture. Of all of Wes’ films, I felt that this one had the most heart and clear message. (Which came out of nowhere, btw)

Maybe I’m too easily impressed . . . on to the articles . . .

i am star struck by association! i adore jason schwartzman and probably would have been lucky to contain the urge to go up and lick his cheek (or something equally creepy/ strangely gratifying). i’ll mix you up a batch of chloroform for future celeb encounters so that you may properly sedate them, take them back to your apartment and make them a part of your pants world.

So, I am glad that its not just me and my sister’s friends who think that Wed Anderson can be a tad racist and sexist. Its great how internet articles can validate your experiences . Thanks for posting those articles. Now if only I didn’t still enjoy most of his movies…:)

Hipsters do have color. Lilly white is a color.

I would ask Jason Schwartzman what the fuck the point of Bill Murray was in Darjeeling. Just a clever f u to all of the whiners who complain that he’s in every Wes Anderson movie? Or is there some sort of hidden deep message that I’m not smart enough to get?
