Moonrise Kingdom Trailer: Another Wes Anderson Movie You'll Openly Hate but Secretly Adore

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (50)

moonrise-kingdom-trailer-1.jpg

The first person that says hipster is an a**hole. You’re like Gay Republicans: The more you hate Wes Anderson, the more we know you’re hiding something. Give it up.

Bill Murray! Bruce Willis! Tilda Swinton! Jason Schwartzman! Frances McDormand! Quirk! Whimsy! Meticulous direction!

You’ve already bought tickets. Don’t even try to deny it, closet case.

I was into this movie before it was even announced.

Posted by: Bert at January 12, 2012 5:29 PM

Also, Ed Norton! Harvey Keitel! Bob Balaban!

Let me guess, there will be a schematic/cutaway built/drawn of the ship/house/tunnel and several quirky/unlikeable characters peopling it?

Hipster.

Hipster, hipster, hipster.

My hatred of Wes Anderson and his overly-hyped cinematic turds burns with the fire of one thousand suns, and if that makes me an asshole, at least I'm not the asshole who made The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. Fuck Wes Anderson. Fuck him right in the quirk.

I'm getting a weird "lovechild of The Royal Tennenbaums and The Addams Family 2" vibe. That isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Tweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

"Secretly Adore?" I sir am now closet Wes Anderson fan, I'm loud and proud! Personal favs are "The Darjeeling Limited", and "The Fantastic Mr. Fox". It'll be interesting to see where this one goes...

Posted by: PG13 at January 12, 2012 5:54 PM

if that makes me an asshole

No, you're an asshole anyway, but that doesn't help.

Posted by: Jay at January 12, 2012 5:56 PM

The only one I really do like is The Life Aquatic...

Posted by: Protoguy at January 12, 2012 5:58 PM

Darjeeling Limited is my least favorite. My favorite is either The Life Aquatic or The Royal Tennenbaums. I love Wes Anderson outloud and proud.

Posted by: John G. at January 12, 2012 6:06 PM

I have been a fan of Anderson's since the extracurricular activities montage in Rushmore. (Also the elevator scene - that's my favourite.) I don't know what rock I've been living under lately to not have heard of this. It looks great. I can't wait.

Posted by: J-Bobber at January 12, 2012 6:13 PM

I will be seeing this on opening night, not for Wes Anderson, not even for SWINTON, but because this was filmed in my home state and I already recognize many of the places, even, strangely enough, some of the cliffs and ponds in the woods.

The idea of SWINTON! at my childhood haunts fills me with joy.

Posted by: BoatGirl at January 12, 2012 6:20 PM

Who's denying it. I would blow Wes Anderson with my wife's mouth.

Posted by: superasente at January 12, 2012 6:24 PM

I love WA. I don't care if you think it makes me a hipster, or an asshole, or whatever else you think; whatever you think I am has no bearing on what I actually am. In fact, what you think I am probably has more bearing on what you are.

I will see this, and from the looks of it, I will love it.

Posted by: Anna von Beav at January 12, 2012 7:09 PM

I saw a picture of Ed Norton with that goofy as fuck hat something like MONTHS ago, and I'm finally seeing something else related to this!
I am SO seeing this movie, just for the hat.

Posted by: Nazsha at January 12, 2012 7:27 PM

Look, you know to a certain degree what you're getting with Wes Anderson. Love it or hate it; the choice is yours. However, if you hate it, it could be worse. You also know to a certain degree what you're getting with Tyler Perry...

Posted by: pissant at January 12, 2012 7:59 PM

You named everyone but Edward Norton in your excitement and it bugged me. A lot.

Posted by: Theseus at January 12, 2012 8:01 PM

I don't care two hoots about WA, but I loved Mr. Fox. But I'd rather watch this than a stupid Transformers or Twilight movie!

Posted by: Diviya at January 12, 2012 8:02 PM

Props to trailermakers for the Britten. But oh my, the hipster.

Posted by: kiyo-chan at January 12, 2012 8:17 PM

Yeah ...yawn ... another boring-as-a-nun's-cunt movie by the master or boredom, Wes "Bore the World" Anderson.

Who could care any less?? Not me ......

Posted by: handy_man at January 12, 2012 8:26 PM

I'm so unhip, I didn't even know that Wes Anderson made The Life Aquatic... and The Royal Tenenbaums, I thought he was that dude who made the scream movies or something. However, I loved the shit out of both TLAWSZ and TRT, and I automatically loved the shit out of that trailer and will probably love the movie itself.

Han shot first! So there.

"I love WA. I don't care if you think it makes me a hipster, or an asshole, or whatever else you think; whatever you think I am has no bearing on what I actually am. In fact, what you think I am probably has more bearing on what you are."

No one has said Wes Anderson fans are assholes. One Anderson fan has said people who call Wes Anderson a hipster are assholes, and another has said I'm an asshole for my expressed dislike. Not that anyone is keeping score.

Posted by: Craig at January 12, 2012 9:21 PM

Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors. I'd never deny my love for the dude that blessed the world with RUSHMORE.
This one looks awesome.

Posted by: Junierizzle at January 12, 2012 9:34 PM

Secretly? I say thee NAY!

I am very open about my love of his work. But, here's the thing - I don't love everything he's done. I am lukewarm about Rushmore, and I hate, hate, hate The Darjeeling Limited. Everything else is brilliantly awesome; hell, Mr Fox and The Life Aquatic are two of my favourite films.

If you want to take issue with my hipsterism, I will fight you. Quirkily.

Posted by: Shane at January 12, 2012 9:54 PM

What's great about his movies is that they celebrate the goodness in people. Also, the great music, sets, art direction, interesting characters and story.

He's a true original.

Posted by: Horace at January 12, 2012 10:27 PM

I don't care if it's cool to like or dislike WA because of the following three words: Bill. Murray. Rushmore.

I'm not watching the trailer, which is something I do for movies I really want to see.

Sold!

Posted by: eliza at January 12, 2012 10:31 PM

Freaking out. Can't wait. Not ashamed.

Posted by: Martin at January 12, 2012 10:36 PM

Protoguy, your comment : "Let me guess, there will be a schematic/cutaway built/drawn of the ship/house/tunnel and several quirky/unlikeable characters peopling it?"

Just because you can point out an artists recurring themes and visual styles does not somehow mean the work is poor.

Pass the popcorn, this is going to be a fun one.

Posted by: Horace at January 12, 2012 10:41 PM

How did I suggest that meant his work is poor?

I think it's cute, if a little over-used. Just an observation.
Here's another: Wes Anderson fans are waaaaay too sensitive.

Posted by: Protoguy at January 12, 2012 11:05 PM

The trailer is gorgeous, I just couldn't sit through the whole movie.

Posted by: SAS at January 12, 2012 11:22 PM

And it's really fucking annoying to have to sit through a commercial in order to see a commercial. There's something very fucked about that.

Posted by: kengao46 at January 13, 2012 12:55 AM

I don't secretly adore anything. My burning hatred for Wes Anderson and all that he hath wrought is completely sincere.

Posted by: Zirze at January 13, 2012 3:17 AM

I HATED Mr. Fox mainly because I loved the book fwom which it diverged so much. But I enjoyed the hell out of his other films because the scripts are original, the soundtracks are consistently interesting, the casting is always brilliant and they're beautifully shot. How many other directors can you say this about?

Posted by: cinekat at January 13, 2012 3:26 AM

Also, Ed Norton! Harvey Keitel! Bob Balaban!

Posted by: Bert at January 12, 2012 5:31 PM

------

The signs are plain to see people - must you cloud your eyes with delusion?!

The greatest seer of his, or any other time - the Shannonodamus - prophecised this long ago. The great and terrible Balabageddon approaches, and there is nary a power in heaven nor in hell that can hold it back. As the the Kinnear frown progresses, the days grow darker and the nights grow bolder. It's all over people. We don't have a prayer. So keep on twiddling your thumbs.

...but perhaps the Rudd dance...

I said that's NOT why you're an asshole, man, keep up!

Posted by: Jay at January 13, 2012 9:25 AM

(Yes, of course, I'm also an asshole for taking the easy punchline. Where do you think we are?)

Posted by: Jay at January 13, 2012 9:25 AM

And it's really fucking annoying to have to sit through a commercial in order to see a commercial.

On THAT we can agree, my good man. Something very fucked, INDEED.

Posted by: Anna von Beav at January 13, 2012 9:42 AM

God YES. YES!!! I don't care if I'm judged - it feels so good!!!! I'll come up with an excuse in the morning, just let me have this movie.

Posted by: the other courtney at January 13, 2012 9:51 AM

There are Anderson movies I love. There are Anderson movies I own.

This could be one of them but the trailer is unfortunate. It doesn't remind me of the Anderson movies I adore so much as one the often funny Anderson parodies the internet burps up occasionally. I'll keep an open mind when it comes out but did anyone else find the trailer close to insufferable?

That said, if you liked it, cool. It's fun to get to get excited about a movie from someone who's not exactly prolific.

rotoguy, your comment : "Let me guess, there will be a schematic/cutaway built/drawn of the ship/house/tunnel and several quirky/unlikeable characters peopling it?"

I think it's the intention of your comment. You weren't coming across like a fan of Wes Anderson's stuff, more like a been-there-done-that film snob. Which, obviously, you aren't. Not at all.

Posted by: Pooter at January 13, 2012 3:12 PM

I can't wait to go see this movie ... ironically, of course.

I will go with a bunch of old high school buddies from the football team, each of us sneaking in some MD 20/20, and laugh out loud through out the movie ... ironically, of course.

After finishing our beverages we will role the empty bottles, annoyingly, all the way down from the back row ... ironically, of course.

We will tease the two skinny gentleman sitting in front of us, who will no doubt be sporting -- in their own meta ironic nod to pseudo-hipster vogue -- Fila sweat bands, skinny corduroy pants obtained from the back of an elementary school surplus store, white short sleaved dress shirts with clip-on ties, electric cigarettes, broken wrist watches with mini-calculators on them and monocles (as the nouveau proletariat are want to wear) ... ironically, of course.

We will end up seeing them again at the Deja Vu Strip Club ("home of 100 of the most beautiful girls in the world, and 3 ugly ones") where we will befriend them and buy each other lap dances... ironically, of course.

Life is sometimes boring. Have you ever felt that something wonderful should be injected? Come--onenightcupid.c0m--, you are bound to find your saucy match with hundreds of thousands of cute guys and pretty girls from around the world eager for hookups, one night stands, and discreet affairs!

Posted by: Alice at January 14, 2012 8:06 AM

Ed Norton!!! Where has that guy been hiding? Prediction: I will go see this movie and enjoy it with a fervor! Whimsy be damned.

Posted by: Hadar at January 14, 2012 8:27 AM

I don't hate Wes Anderson for being a hipster (WTF is hipster anyways), I hate him for being a racist prick in his movies about rich, white people's angst. And The Darjeeling Limited was the worst culprit. I really enjoy his movies but then I see all the racist caricatures existing solely to provide white people some spiritual release and just feel sad. This doesn't look like it has any people of color in it for him to belittle, so maybe I'll spend money on it. AND FRANCES MCDORMAND!!!

Posted by: severine at January 14, 2012 10:19 AM

Fucking HATE The Royal Assholes but The Life Aquatic is something else again.

Posted by: sunny at January 14, 2012 10:37 AM

Norton?! I'm in. The only one I've liked so far was Darjeeling (it was racist? I didn't think so, but I'll think about it when I watch it again), and I liked that one so much I'll give this one a try. Didn't hate the others - just didn't like them much. Except Darjeeling. And I don't know why. But the Norton gets me every time.

Posted by: ChickaBoom! at January 14, 2012 1:31 PM

Eh, he's got a lot of blank, detached characters battling egomaniacal power junkies too. Doesn't mean I don't like them. An observation, even a snarky one, isn't a condemnation.
