What If Bill Murray Played Everyone In Wes Anderson's Films?

It would probably look a lot like Casey Weldon's paintings for the upcoming ‘Bad Dads’ art tribute to the films of Wes Anderson. And I would watch the hell out of those movies. To be honest I can't even tell the difference with the Gwyneth Paltrow portrait.

Clockwise from the top left: Max Fischer (Rushmore); Chas Tenenbaum (The Royal Tenenbaums); Anne-Marie Sakowitz (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou); Margot Helen Tenenbaum (The Royal Tenenbaums); Francis (The Darjeeling Limited); Richie Tenenbaum (The Royal Tenenbaums). Go to Casey's blog for larger versions of each painting.

David Lynch's Super Bowl Head

The Super Bowl is today, or so I am told. I'm no football fan but I could be convinced if major filmmakers were allowed to direct the telecast, as Slate V imagines. (Link via FilmDrunk)

Quentin Tarantino — I expected more blood and less football. The animation was good though.
David Lynch — I would so watch that broadcast. People would be soooo angry!
Wes Anderson — I'm surprised they don't hire him. It looks like Olympic profile coverage.
Jean-Luc Godard — Isn't this how they show it in France?
Werner Herzog — Also, surprisingly watchable

Clearly inspired by the Lego recreations of iconic movie posters (and not a desire to make buckets of cash out of childhood nostalgia), Warner Bros. announced that they are making a Lego film.

While no details have been announced, Variety reports that it will be a "family comedy that will mix live action and animation. Warners is keeping the plot tightly under wraps, but it's described as an action adventure set in a Lego world."

Most reaction has fallen into the "what the hell are they going to make out of that" camp, but why fight it? Hollywood will turn anything into a film — plot be damned. And there are already plans for a View-Master film so why not.

With that in mind, Vanity Fair is already suggesting directors and story lines:

Steven Spielberg: Troubled by her parents’ divorce, a little girl (Elle Fanning) builds her own fantasy world when she discovers she has the power to give life to Lego.

Wes Anderson: A precocious child spends four years locked in his bedroom in a fevered attempt to make Lego coruduroy.

Martin Scorsese: A regular Lego guy from the Lego neighborhood gets sucked into the Lego mob after shooting a Lego cop.
