Johnny Case in Wonderland . . . hopelessly adrift in popular culture

Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom comes out in the United States on May 25th.  Sweet Jesus, I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so excited for a movie.  Everything about this trailer makes me happy.  He is definitely the most distinctive auteur working today—his narrative and visual stamps are so wonderfully unique and recognizably his own.  Has Wes Anderson surpassed Sofia Coppola, P.T. Anderson, and Martin Scorsese to become my favorite living filmmaker?  Why yes, yes he has.
