 But MK is fully loaded.

Been waiting a mighty long time for The French Dispatch to get released.

I suspect it too will have much comedy and some sweetness.

Around here The Royal Tenenbaums and The Grand Budapest Hotel are perpetual favorites.

 I like BOTH those films! But never looked into 'who' so I missed the commonality.
Too much is never enough

 

"Grand Budapest" is a classic! "Lobby boy" is an expression much in use around here... nt, posted on August 10, 2021 at 06:01:51

 With not a single frame of authenticity from beginning to end?

Yup.

 Not bad ones.

Anderson is all tricks and gimmicks and no heart.

A classic. Hilarious dialogue, great plot, excellent actors, and a farcical , posted on August 11, 2021 at 13:23:48

 approach (the set design!) that is richly original.

I'm not much of a fan of his other films, either, but I think Anderson is golden with this one.

 

Soundtrack is nice, too -nt, posted on August 16, 2021 at 07:19:00
