Do you think Wes Anderson needs to change it up?

If he changes genre I'm afraid it will scream sellout. His filmography is amazing and he should only change if he feels the need to, not because of pressure from a moronic public that flocks to the theaters to see such trash as Transformers and the token horror film that comes out bi monthly. Keep doing what you're doing Wes

That same moronic public is the reason why he can get funding for his movies, you know. Steven Rales doesn't just shell out $20million so he can have a new DVD in his collection.
He's more of a mild hero, you know, like the kind of sauce you get at Japanese restaurants -

Well, "directorman", how many films have you directed? What's that you say? ZERO? I'm shocked, no, really I am.
Guess what: Wes Anderson doesn't need you, the film-going world doesn't need you, and I sure as hell don't need you. -

Nope, his last three films have confirmed his growth as an artist and filmmaker, his vision has depth in different ways with each film and Grand Budapest Hotel is a marvel of filmmaking and storytelling.
Anderson is a true auteur. -

No please, we have many examples of great directors who lost the plot completely when they changed their style or tried different genres (take Fernando Meirelles for an instance).
Wes Anderson is one of the BEST directors of his generation and he's better continue doing what he's good at! -

That immediately identifiable quirk is the genius of Wes Anderson. In the same way that unifentifiable-ness is the genius of Stev5b4en Soderbergh.
What is identifiable (and cherished) with Anderson's work is the style, the aesthetic, the wit. However it works because the STORIES are always different. -

We've seen him move around with Fantastic Mr. Fox. It has that Wes Anderson charm yet its for children.
The Grand Budapest Hotel was a different change of pace, with more melancholy and less whimsy.
Do you want him to try something drastically different? Like a horror film or a action movie? -

I think he should cut his hair. The "Prince Valiant" bob is getting old. He's a hot guy and shorter hair looks nice on him.
As for his movies - yes, keep on branching out, Wes. He does too much "quirky for quirky's sake". I loved the idea of b68Grand Budapest Hotel but it was a mess except for Ralph, who was amazing. F. Murray Abraham was very good, too. The rest - too silly, too overdone.
And the Woody Allen esque stammering - it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. Egad. I cannot stand the constant stammering. Wes doesn't have a speech impediment; he needs to plan out what he's going to say in commentary or interviews.
