also I swear I'm not a dick in real life, Anderson just gets me ranting lol
No worries! I commented with a more detailed post, but I'm with you in being annoyed at all the Wes FANdersons (credit to you ;)), but I can say the same about PTA and Tarantino, too. I always joke with my fiancée about film students only knowing PTA and Tarantino, and I kid you not, in a class of 50+, when asked their favorite director, the only three responses were PTA, Tarantino, and Spielberg. Very frustrating. Are you on Letterboxd? Join if you're not, and follow me! Here's the link to my profile
I just made a letterboxd thanks to Zurangatang's suggestion, so consider yourself followed :D And yea I am 100% in agreement with you and your fiancée about film students and "best directors" lol
