Taking the Temperature of Hardcore Normally I start these out with a little bit of meaningless preamble about what I’ve been occupying myself lately, but really all I’ve been doing is going to work, reading comics, and playing video games, so I don’t have much in the way of interesting cultural insight and observations. I did see the new Wes Anderson movie, of course. (“Sci-fi Wes Anderson movie” was always going to be the easiest sell in the world to me.) I liked it a lot— especially Jason Schwartzman’s performance— but I feel it needs another watch before I can properly dissect it in the way that it deserves.
I’m interested to see the new Wes Anderson, I was surprised with how much higher profile his cast has become in the last few he’s done.
