HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I'm going to get to interview Wes Anderson. I can not tell you how excited I am about this. DC doesn't get that many big time people through it and even when it does my community newspaper usually doesn't give me enough sway to talk to most of them, but Wes Anderson is coming and I just got confirmation that I'd get to talk to him!
In case you are asking who the fuck is Wes Anderson...well tough shit if you don't know who one of the most interesting and creative filmmakers of our day and age is then I don't want to be talking to you anyway and you can use google on your own to find out. I am giddy all over.
But here is the great part, because I'm talking to him you get talk to him in proxy. Got any questions for him that you've been dying to ask? Post them in the comments and I'll try to work them in. Ok i"m going to basically leave work and watch his movies back to back.

Damn.. I am drawing a blank. Of what to ask him, that is.
Was it necessary for The Life Aquatic to suck so much?
The Life Aquatic was awesome, kwaselow. Why is Wes Anderson so awesome?
Man did not expect so much bitterness about Life Aquatic, but I think we can all agree that Royal Tenebaums was one of the best movies ever.
Dude that's awesome.
Ask him what his mindset is when writing a new story.
Or ask him why he loves the Wilson brothers so much.
Okay, I have a real question:
What manner of art, hangings, plants, photos, etc adorn the walls of your home? Do they match what we see in your movies, or is it void of all decoration in order to separate yourself from your work?
Congratulations man! I've been working on a Jason Schwartzman interview, but you should totally go first so I don't steal your glory. Ask him why Darjeeling Limited is so great and if he wants to have my babies.
Also, ask him if he can get me some of that opium soup from that village he visited in India. He described it as similar to taking half a Xanax when I saw him the other night. I bet that guy is fun to party with.
I honestly think Bottle Rocket is one of those movies that are over looked when speaking of Wes Anderson movies.
I thought Life Aquatic was awesome but I'm not to excited to see his new flick.
Ask him this: "Natalie Portman. Full frontal. Why didn't you make it happen?"
Wes Anderson, if the Venture Bros. creators Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick asked you to direct a live action Venture Bros. movie, would you do it?
Avoid questions about Owen Wilson's suicide shit.
Ask him how he liked working with Adrian Brody and if he plans on casting him in any future roles.
Tristero do you just hang around famous people?
@kryptinite
Darjeeling is really gorgous and a great story. I strongly recommend seeing it this weekend.
Cowzilla, I'm so jealous of you that you're getting to interview him. I've seen him in person at premiere party type things for The Life Aquatic and Darjeeling, but I've always been too nervous to say anything directly to him. What would you say to Jesus while he was on the cross?
"Thanks for rocking, dude"?
@Tristero
You know, now that you say that, I think that is exactly what I'd say and once I can time travel what I will say. "Thanks for rocking, dude," pretty much sums up Christ pretty well.
1) I second the Venture Bros. question. AT LEAST PUT THE IDEA IN HIS HEAD! It could come to fruitation.
2) Life Aquatic is one of my favorite movies, and the best Wes Anderson movie I've seen.
@Snaileb
NO WAI! Royal Tenenbaums is the best friggin Wes Anderson movie.
Ask him:
"What's your structure for a new film? Do you write with the songs you use in your movies in mind, or do you get inspiration while shooting?"
"What influenced your fluid visual storytelling?" I'm referring to the scenes in Rushmore showing off Max's yearbook accomplishments, or the flashback to the Tenenbaum kid's past achievements. Those are so natural you feel like your watching someone's memories of their own childhood.
Ask if if he's considered a sequel to that American Express commercial.
good times.
@Snaileb
Uh, what's your dog's name?
Cody.
*WHACK*
Be still, Cody.
Ask if if he's considered a sequel to that American Express commercial.
good times.
@Rockvillain:
I love that line. I defy anyone to watch that moment and not crack a grin.
Ask him what kind of video games does he play and if he could design a video game what kind of genre would it fall under and what would the title be?
I swear I only posted that once.
Real questions: From some of your comments, it seems like you would like to view the actor/director relationship as a collaborative one rather than a hierarchical one. How do you approach actors who have a "you do your job, I'll do mine" reaction?
Do you consider what you do to be more art, or craft?
Ask him if there were any other languages he would have done the David Bowie songs in Life Aquatic. Like if it could have been in Japanese or hungarian or some other language. Also does he still listen to regular Bowie, or the LA soundtrack now?
Crazy eye.
influences
Drug influences or cinematic bfeld?
