             It’s only because of the cast that I’m even watching this. Wes Anderson is not my fave. This one received top ratings. That’s no guarantee.

            My main problem with Anderson is that he’s not as weird and quirky as he thinks he is. I find his humour pretentious. I have lost friends over this attitude, but then they probably weren’t such good friends, right?

            OK, I’ll stop babbling and watch the film.

            1. I don’t like narrated stories. 2. What’s the point of this film? 3. What a waste of good actors. 4. This is just silly. 5. This is boring. 6. Almost everybody disagrees with me.

            Never mind. I like the purple uniforms. They themselves are worth
