I am sad sad sad sad sad.
The reason I am five-times sad is because I recently got the opportunity to see the latest film by my filmmaking idol Wes Anderson and I found myself wondering what happened to my good friend and his ability to create unique characters, amusing situations and a narrative through-line that was engaging and entertaining. I wondered throughout the movie if the reason had something to do with the fact that Owen Wilson didn’t help write this one. I wondered if it was me who had changed and Anderson who had remained the same…over time.
But the reality, of course, is that The Darjeeling Limited…is limited.

Celebrity fascinates me.
Why is it that people are so desperate to feel like they are part of some celebrity’s circle of friends? Why do they want to converse with them, get their autographs and know every single detail about them? Why why why why why?
Back in August of 2003 I decided to embark upon an experiment that I am finally just wrapping up. That experiment? To pretend to be uber-writer/director Wes Anderson (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums and the upcoming Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) and see who wanted to be his friend. I used Friendster as my vessel, which around August of 2003 was just starting to pop up on people’s radar.
