The old-timey aspects of his various narratives notwithstanding (from āFantastic Mr. Foxā to āLife Aquaticā to āFrench Dispatchā and āGrand Budapestā and everything in between), I can basically boil That Wes Thing ā¢ļø down to a few consistent visual tropes:
* Ubiquitous symmetry
* Tableau compositions
* Very deliberate/narrow color palettes
* LOOOOOOOONG takes (He loves them)
We have been known to stage quasi Wes film festivals sometimes and just binge a bunch of his films back to back.

iāve never seen any of wes andersonās movies somehow (aside from mr fox and henry sugar), so i decided to watch them all before the phonecian scheme. and holy fuck. heās amazing. the movies are all so implicit in their message yet so obvious. the characters and their actions are so absurd. the framing and the shots are nothing short of perfect.
life aquatic is my favorite thus far, by far. his others were great too (iām skipping bottle rocket because people say itās best to watch after being familiar with his style), but this oneās atmosphere and characters were just impeccable. maybe itās because itās summer, and maybe itās because love stories can be so trite, but watching a hard-ass struggle with his ego while commanding a boat crew and simultaneously trying to come to terms with being a father is right up my alley. i have a feeling iām not gonna be this big a fan of all of andersonās movies after this one, but iām still so excited. i have high hopes.

"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnāt violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canāt wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ā¤ļø
