Ode to the Indie by Ellen & Brett

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.

anyone know the movie or actress names that show up in 0:15 not clementine and juno the girls below them?

HA! Sooooo true. Loved it. And don't worry Brett, I'll make out with you. ;P

This is SO spot-on. Bravo and brava. Well done.

I cannot get this damn song out of my head. Bonus points for being funny 'cause it's true.

I loved this. So true and I never even thought about it. Don't be sad Brett, I love you.

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.

you two are fabulous! I can't quite figure out how you can make me laugh so hard and yet I still feel a little insulted, good work.

those movies are some of my favorites except juno and napoleon dynamite, and i could help but laugh at them. good stuff job well done

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.

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...

SPOT ON.

You guys are a hell of a musical pair.

Wood panelling haha, awesome. Ellen and Brett, you guys are hilarious, go rotten tomatoes show!

Very cute guys. You forced me to laugh at myself. But come on! Eternal Sunshine? That's just off limits. Relationship-wise it's just in a league all its own.

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.

don't forget about vintage transportation!

i raise my lighter... encore!

Woah Ellen, watch where you put your hands!!!

LOVED this!!
