Here is the link to my March 17, 2022, Twitter thread review of the film The French Dispatch, directed by Wes Anderson.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

12/19/20 The French Dispatch, movie studios, and local movie houses

Here is the link to my December 19, 2020, Twitter thread -- which started, actually, as a December 7 tweet to Searchlight Pictures, about how the Wes Anderson film The French Dispatch came to stand in my mind as an example of how movie studios were not paying attention to options for releasing their films and helping to support actual movie theaters during the COVID pandemic.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

3/26/18 review of film Isle of Dogs, dir. by Wes Anderson

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the film Isle of Dogs, directed by Wes Anderson.

The thread gives a summary of the film. It discusses the film's animation style, comparisons between the plot and current events, the use of conspiracy theory in the film, the performances in the film, the characters in the film, the film's soundtrack, and a number of themes from the film.

The thread also discusses how I saw this film at a dog-friendly screening (very fun!) held at the Sie FilmCenter by the Denver Film Society.

The tweets in some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is slightly affected. My apologies.

3/16/14 review of film The Grand Budapest Hotel, dir. by Wes Anderson

Here is my March 16, 2014, Twitter review of the film The Grand Budapest Hotel, directed by Wes Anderson.

Unlike my later Twitter reviews, this review was not posted in one thread. Instead, each tweet was posted separately.

The tweets are below, for your convenience.

However, I do believe this was the last time I posted a review to Twitter this way. The next review I find is posted as a single thread.

Tweet 1. Watched #GrandBudapestHotel today. I wouldn't sneak in grocery store candy for this flick. Do Crumbs, Dean & DeLuca, something like that.

T2. Oh, also, there's one specific plot device in #GrandBudapestHotel that left me a basket case.

T3. The Mendl's candy boxes in #GrandBudapestHotel are kind of like bento boxes mixed with the Hellraiser Rubik's cube.

T4. The workers at the Landmark Esquire in Denver were dressed as lobby boys for #GrandBudapestHotel.

T5. One girl was particularly cute. Imagine Grimes with pencil mustache and Lobby Boy hat. See how in love you are now? #GrandBudapestHotel

T6. Didn't realize until now that Agatha is homage to #agathachristie. Makes sense. #GrandBudapestHotel

T7. Recently read 3 Agathas: The Pale Horse, The Moving Finger, & Endless Night. The homage should have struck me sooner. #GrandBudapestHotel

T8. Or maybe there is no homage. It's a "nomage," or an "homage mirage."
