Greatest.Commercial.Ever.
I really absolutely unflappingly love Wes Anderson's movies. Just the ridiculous ways people talk to other people. And the absolute absurdity of most of it, passed off as being as completely normal, and the way people don't even acknowledge it.
Like in The Life Aquatic, when Jane is interviewing Zissou, and there's his own killer whale swimming around in the background... and he pulls a gun on her, a pregnant reporter. But no one seems to blink at any of it.
Anyway, this Amex ad kinda wraps all that into one pretty stunning little package.

I saw this the other night with the girlfriend and couldn't pay as much attention as I wanted to. I think it made more sense then.
"Are those my birds?"
"I think so."
"We need those."
Hilarious.

Sadly, that is exactly how people talk on tv / movie sets. That is, if they speak English. I just worked on an HBO mini-series and the director spoke very little English. He just kept screaming "MORE SEXY!" at the actress most of the day.

That's very good direction though. Always need "MORE SEXY" in HBO series.

It was a "late night" erotic mini-series called "Alien Sex Files." I can't believe I left that part out.

That miniseries sounds like it's going to be awesome. Dave doesn't like space, though.

We'll see. The other PAs and I helped the director finish the ending of the movie because he hadn't thought to write it out.
