Wes Anderson discussion

[P@t_Mtl]

Good morning everyone,

I have a question concerning Wes Anderson.

Let me start by saying I am not a fan of his movies, not making a comment or critic on it however. I first saw Rushmore back in 1998 and then saw The Royal Tenenbaums and I sort of seen that really his style is just not for me. So I never really got around to check his other movies. My cable provider as the IFC channel (which is a great channel by the way) and I've notice on many of his movies that the rating is like a 4 or a 5 (you know the usual movie rating you might see in TV Guide for example). Most of the time 4 is average and 5 is below average. Most of the movies in Criterion would be usually at 3 and in most cases 2 or 1 if they were to show up on TV at all. So what is the major appeal for Wes Anderson? As I mention his style is just not for me and looking at ratings of his movies it seem like they are average at best yet so many people seem to rave about him. So I am wondering what is it that you like about his movies? The style, the humor.... It's just a curiosity thing on my part.
