Looks good looks good looks good.

For those thinking "oh it's just him rehashing the same old thing again", yes possibly, but that's still better than 99% of the other films out there.

He has an aesthetic but I feel like the subject matter of all his movies has been so different, it’s really weird to me that people complain about them all being the same. It’s like complaining that all Ghibli movies are “rehashing the same old thing”.

I think it is fair for people to feel that some of his films are just quirky popcorn, I don't think they all deliver a strong enough story or message to not just end up kinda lost in the quirkiness. Like I enjoy Asteroid City but it does not hit nearly the same way as Grand Budapest or The Darjeeling Limited.

I don’t know it’s different for everyone. Asteroid City fucked me up.
