Wes Anderson supercuts now apparently merit a supercut of their own
The adorably twee, hand-crafted, stop-motion-animated, dalmatian-spotted snake is eating its own tail. That’s the message of “A Supercut Of Every G*ddamn Wes Anderson Supercut On The Internet,” a sobering video montage that suggests that the well-intentioned citizens of the internet have gone to the Wes Anderson well way too often over the last few years. Way, way, way too often, in fact. That well is now officially dry, declares this supercut, which was created in a seeming fit of pique by New York film/video production company Magnalux Pictures. Yes, Texas-born indie director Wes Anderson uses red and yellow a lot in his films. And, yes, he does have a thing for overhead views, matching costumes, profane outbusrts, and perfectly centered shots. Yep. No denying any of that. All of these salient points have been made, repeatedly, by others in the form of thoughtfully curated, already-existent supercuts and parodies. There is no need, none at all, to create any more. When a director has inspired enough supercuts to merit a mega-meta-supercut, it just might be time to move on to another subject. Jim Jarmusch? Noah Baumbach, perhaps?
