10.15.09 WES ANDERSON CALLS OUT HATERS
Wes “Little Lord Fauntleroy” Anderson took time out of his busy v-neck sweater-buying schedule this week 
to talk to David Poland about the “beef” between him and his DP, Tristan Oliver. Oliver had previously said of Anderson, who’s been taking heat for directing The Fantastic Mr. Fox via email from Paris, “I think he’s a little sociopathic, I think he’s a little OCD. Contact with people disturbs him.” Well la di da, Mr. I Have Human Friends. Here’s what Anderson had to say:
The word that I think gives one pause is ’sociopath’. That is the unexpected one. Well, I have another DP I’ve worked with for many years. There are moments in production…where I think he would have unkind words to say about me as well. Because movies are hard to make, and sometimes you’re making people do things that are the last thing they want to do, and the last way they want to do it. And with this movie, there are a lot of things that people who work in stop motion are used to doing digitally, and I wouldn’t do it.
Tristan said a bunch of stuff that is a bit outrageous for someone to say about their boss, while they are working for them. I didn’t know the details of it, but i knew some of it. And he was obviously a bit mortified because he spoke completely out of turn. But our relationship got better after that. [Oliver's quote was from April] By the time the piece [the LA Times article from Sunday] comes out, it’s a bit of a drag because it puts a wrinkle in a relationship that we’ve already smoothed out.
Leave it to captain bow tie to explain their disagreement with a fancy clothing metaphor. Obviously I’m disappointed they’re not fighting more, but what can you expect from guys named “Wes” and “Tristan”? I imagine they’d settle disagreements through barbershop quartet. Otherwise Wes could get grass stains on his breeches, and that makes the headmistress ever so cross.
Semi-related: Jarvis Cocker was also at the London premiere.
“I’m glad you’re finally awake. I’ve been watching you sleep for hours.”

WES ANDERSON CALLS OUT HATERS
They saw each other at the premier and had an interpretive dance battle.
“You’ve just been served, by a below average butler” *raises pinky*
Then, of course, they had the buttseks
This feud began when Wes removed his glove and slapped Tristan’s face with it.
They then had a “yo momma’s so corpulent” battle.
Wes won it with “Yo momma’s so corpulent, her blood type is raspberry au jus.”
Their slap fights are in slow motion and set to the latest from the Fleet Foxes.
Wes Anderson’s youtube name is ~TweeWes Sweater Vests 4eva RIP Elliott Smith~.
Yo momma’s so corpulent, they had to get four extra e’s in there so she could fit in her tweed jacket.
It’s not that Wes doesn’t like people, he just hates being forced to interact with the peasant class, so he directs by correspondence from his palace.
Sidenote: In the screen cap of that youtube clip it looks like he just got done gorging on a blood filled carcass.
Yo momma’s so corpulent, she has to use a hand-embroidered tuscan-style tablecloth as a scarf.
There’s only one way to settle this. Dirigible race.
I liked when Tristan removed Wes’ beret and pulled his hair.
I told them both they should have a rap battle.
Wes came back with a lovely glittery box with a double bow.
Tristan came back out with his hands covered in a thin plastic sheet, ready to start slapping.
Tristan pops wheelies on his Victorian bicycle. So bourgeois.
Wes: Throw the first punch, pussy.
Tristan: The lighting isn’t right, you throw the first punch, bitch.
Wes: You’re lucky there’s something slightly off about the atmosphere here or you’d be in a world of hurt.
Is that a pink shirt there Wessy? HAHA! I find it hard to believe that you would have an issue with DP.
^ (double penetration)
The first time they tried to bury the hatchet, the dirt didn’t fall right so Wes called for a reshoot. Setting up for the second take, they lost the light. Finally, on the second day after four more takes, the two of them got it right.
I bet this movie’s soundtrack sounds SO much better on vinyl, you guys.
/whips bangs out of eyes
I’d bet submarines to jumpsuits that dude plays with legos regularly.
That Jarvis Cocker picture is the first time I’ve ever seen that dude without a hat that has a card in the brim that says 10/6.
Beck + Crack = Wes Anderson
Jarvis Cocker didn’t sign the Roman Polanski petition because he thinks what Polanski did was absolutely disgusting.
I mean, drugging and raping 13 year old GIRLS?
Jarvis Cocker humps legs when he gets excited.
Jarvis Cocker taught Chodin’s uncle everything he knows.
That interview is by Jeffrey Wells, not David Poland.
Vince just got boarding-schooled!
Or, boring schooled.
I think Jarvis Cocker has restless beard syndrome.
Oh snap!
Sorry, I can’t actually snap. You see, I just moisturized and exfoliated and now my fingers are too slippery.
Let these two wankers settle things by having duel armed with only their messenger bags. The first to get KO’d/faint or flee in terror has to get a fucking haircut.
I advocate putting insufferable hipsters down. To end their suffering. It’s the humane thing to do.
First Rule of Wes/Tristan Fight Club: Combatants must use the walnut finish coat hangers when hanging their corduroy jackets up.
They look like the 5th and 11th place finishers in an Andy Warhol look-alike contest.

Yeah, but you shouldn’t ignore the fun factor.
