MOONRISE KINGDOM

So, like, I'm Currently Obssessing Over, Like...

Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom

Last night I watched The Royal Tenenbaums. In my winter cave, of course (lol look at me making connections between blog posts). I hadn't watched it in over a year and I forgot how brilliant it was. And how brilliant Wes Anderson is.

Then I remembered Anderon's upcoming release, Moonrise Kingdom, his first since Fantastic Mr. Fox in 2009.

If you haven't seen the trailer already (how's that rock you're living under) (oh no I'm alienating my audience) (lol is it possible to have a negative number of readers) you should definitely watch it now. And if you have seen it, watch it another 8 or 9 times.

I don't know what it is about Moonrise Kingdom that looks so amazing. I mean, the cast looks okay? There's Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Francis McDormand, Bill Murray, TILDA SWINTON- oh crap I'm running out of breath. Actually, EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT THIS MOVIE LOOKS AMAZING. I think I initially got sucked in by the scout uniforms. It really struck a chord with my inner 8-year-old who always longed to join the cub scouts. He didn't really want to be 'playing tennis'. No. He wanted to be across the road, collecting badges and baking cookies. That's where he truly belonged.

Anyway. When you watch the trailer you can't help but think: "I should've been born in the 60s". I know, I know. You hate people who say that. But you don't have a choice. You will be like every 13 year old girl who just listened to Lana Del Rey for the first time and swears she should've been born in the 60s because Lana's hair is 60s, her clothes are 60s and omg I have blue jeans and a white shirt too I SHOULD'VE BEEN BORN IN THE 60S.

Because of this 60s vibe, I think Moonrise Kingdom is the perfect movie to be seen at a drive-in. I've never actually been to a drive-in cinema before (shock! Horror!) but it's my goal this winter to go to one, so it should be yours too. Because I control you. Now put your knife into the baby goat. Also, according to IMDB it comes out in Australia in August, so I think that calls for a... WINTER CAVE: CAR EDITION.

So do yourself a favour. When the time comes, grab some friends, a car, a pile of blankets, a thermal filled with warm milk and pretend, just for one night, that you should've been born in the 60s. Go on, you deserve it.
