I think you have lost touch with the general public! Maybe you have surrounded yourself with such quality people you don't realize how many people are actually not aware of Wes. In my general experience the general public loves movies like the fast and the furious 7 or whatever. I think if you polled most americans about their favorite Wes Anderson movie -- I think you would likely get a "Wes who?"... I agree with you that he may be touted to highly by a subset of the public (maybe a lower level cinema class?) -- but I appreciate his approach.

quirky? Yes annoying? maybe. entertaining? always.

Haha that's definitely possible! Seeing as my circle consists of emotionally frustrated philosophy majors and literal starving artists I may have a skewed perception of the public opinion!

Thanks for the input, I need someone to check me before I wreck me, frankly
