Who Else is Totally Psyched to See The French Dispatch?

It seems like an eternity between WA movies, and I devour them as soon as they're available. I wish he was as prolific an auteur as Stephen King is a writer. No disrespect to Mr. King, that was a compliment.

It looks like, in my wife's words, the most Wes Anderson movie ever

On a related note: what is your favorite WA movie to this point? For me it would be a toss-up between Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, though I love all of his films.

It was clever enough, but I just didn't feel the same immediate, emotional connection with it that I did with Moonrise Kingdom or The Grand Budapest Hotel. More of an Isle of Dogs experience for me, I guess. I'll watch it again at some point and see if it resonates with a second viewing.
