>“I thought,” Mr. Anderson explained, “What’s something I’ve seen that can get close to that amount of great visual information and all these things going on in the frame?”

>“ ‘Police Squad!’ and ‘Top Secret!’ are what I clued into,” he said, referring to collaborations by the slapstick maestros David and Jerry Zucker. “We tried hard to imitate or rip off the Zucker brothers’ style of gags so the film can feel like the book feels: just packed with stuff. And fun.”

>Mostly, Mr. Anderson relied heavily on his actors’ comedy chops.

>Mr. Brolin noted that they initially considered simplifying the colorful Los Angeles police detective Bigfoot. “On most movies, you play with different levels and there’s a foundation and a ceiling,” he said. “Here, there was no ceiling. It was no holds barred. Paul would say: We want to go Tom and Jerry on all this.”

What do you think that proves? I mean, it's not even like the conflict between Plainview and the Sunday is that important. TWBB is much more about pride and how the pursuit of power will lead someone to neglect the meaningful relationships in their lives. Daniel takes his final victory over Eli and it means almost nothing for him.

In The Master, you can barley even call them enemies because for the majority of the movie Freddy and Lancaster are friends drawn to one another due to their complementary personalities. The Master is a lot more about animal instinct and the denial by some of that animal instinct's influence in their actions.

Sure, there are two male leads in the master and arguably in TWBB but that is such a minor similarity.

It's funny that you picked those out because I think they're oddly related.

As far as Wes Anderson goes, he makes beautiful movies that are consistent in quality, unique, and engaging. Film is a visual medium and Anderson has a very strong eye and is a strong story-teller. Even though he's only done one animated film, I like that all of his movies (especially the later ones) are essentially cartoons. I think this is why some people dislike him so much, like they can tell there's an odd bait-and-switch that happened. I don't know for a fact but I wouldn't be surprised to find Anderson is a close student of Satoshi Kon (who I would've listed but he's dead. Actually so is Imamura, oops. Sad to know though).

Takahata is probably the best living, currently working Japanese animation director, though there's plenty of promising talent out there. He's not out of place at all- Grave of the Fireflies alone is gut-wrenching and delicate in ways most live-action Western (or otherwise) film-makers dream of. I have yet to see Tale of Princess Kaguya but I've heard it's breathtaking and I believe it. I wanted at least one animator on the list because animation is film and art and should be recognized as such.

If Pynchon did his research (which I don't doubt he did), he must have come across 4chan. He would also have checked out /lit/, even if it was just out of curiosity.

I would say he is the most the most technically skilled director working now. I agree that there is little "intellectual content" in his films, but despite this they stand on their own purely as visual marvels.

I recommend a bit of reading on the production of EtV, if I remember correctly there was an article in American Cinematographer that had a lot of details about the seamless transitions between handheld/crane/helicopter-mounted cameras/CGI, how they used only practical lights, etc.
