Good to see we are on the same page now.


I'm one nerd in a million.

It’s 2025, not 2005.

All the real fart sniffers have moved on to A24 and Neon “fiLms”

A24 films are usually pretty good. Midsommar and Hereditary were incredible.

Every trailer I see for a Wes Anderson film looks like a parody of Wes Anderson films.

Or an AI rendition using Wes Anderson tropes.

SNL did a great Wes Anderson parody a few years ago.

Some of them, for sure. But they sure do attract the fart sniffers.

...I've never seen a group of fanatics fawn over and masturbate to a director's work like Anderson's do (maybe Tarantino). It's almost delightfully preposterous.

A24 is a production company with a variety of artists and styles. It has its artsy fartsy time-wasters like The Green Knight, but Wes Anderson is the same formula of 'quirky + surreal + [insert setting] = Wes Anderson drivel'.

Wes Anderson movies suck.

That’s why A24 fans are actually more fart sniffy. If you like one Wes Anderson movie, chances are you’re going to like them all, or if you don’t you likely won’t.

But A24 is just a production company. “Nobody is doing it like A24!” yeah I guess. I get it with something like Criterion that has like a post-release good movie niche. A24 produces a lot of pretentious slop that nobody would care about if it was produced by Sony Pictures Classics.

I do find it interesting which posters are lamenting the 'fart sniffers.'

It is a little weird to blanket continual praise on a production company, but I view that more of being a fan of a team than the cultish worship of a director.

Either way, they're both fallible, but in the end I have gotten far more hours of enjoyment from A24's releases than I have Anderson's.

Does anyone actually like other people farts? Me own brew is amazing though.

I should hope so at 200~ films vs 12 lol.

But same, even as someone who enjoys Anderson movies. And I’m never surprised when I love a movie and it turns out it was an A24 but like, I also stopped seeking out movies because of production/distribution companies vs directors/writers/actors because you realize the former is just gonna include a lot of crap people are going to pretend is good regardless.

Very excited for Marty Supreme though!

As with everything, you can just assume there is a fetish for that and look no further.
