Well not sure about the girl on the bottom left but the bottom right is Anna Paquin (true blood, x-men) i believe the pic is from "The Squid and The Whale" or actually it could be "Blue State" but not sure
O and Wes Anderson IS a gdamn Genius. Makes me proud to be a Houstonian.

How about open-ended conclusions to the films? It's practically an indie staple!
No really, I found this thoroughly entertaining. I like indie flicks, but that doesn't mean I am oblivious to the clichés. They can have a formula like any other film "genre."

Goodness gracious, I love this.
I showed it to my mom who watches indie films with me, and we cracked up. She said, "Oh no, indie movies are becoming cliche!"

The way i see it is if its a Wes copy at least someone is trying to put something in theaters other than the crap thats been flooding cinema in the past years. Go indie movies.

Wes Anderson is a goddamn genius. None of his counterfeiters come close to capturing the magic, innocence, and atmosphere, not to mention cinematography and mis-en-scene, of his films.
There's an entire literary genre of fantasy, most all of it dealing with the same cliched themes and creatures and such, but none of that should detract from the genius of Tolkien.
Don't mock the trailblazers, mock the imitators.

They may be cliches now, but it's because everyone has been ripping off Wes Anderson.

Take that back. He has a signature style. Can't blame a filmmaker for that.

Wes has defined a style being repetitively used in cinema today. Though he created that style from books and story tales, but who reads those today?

Beastly, guys...but without the indies, it's big budget cinema hell. Maybe that could've been a line? but it would have messed up the fun rhyming...

so "indie" films are shot with 35mm film stock and multi-million dollar budgets??? does anyone here know what 10 minutes of 35mm stock cost without the processing? i would say...a little bit less than it would cost me to cater a 2 week film shoot for a friend who was making a movie.

i think they are referring to commercial "indie" films from places like focus and fox searchlight. they are making fun of this idea of indie films just like you are...

i watched it again and perhaps you are right. i just wish the word "indie" was used correctly. i made a documentary with one other person and the help of a few romanians and now sell it from my own website with my own shopping cart. that is what i would call indie. maya deren and john casavettes are indie. the son of ivan reitman make an indie film?? independent from what? from having to pay for the film and make it himself?
