The Snow Was Too Loud

Dig this Wes Anderson AmEx ad. . .

"Can you do a 357 with a bayonet?"

Awesome. I also love the Godzilla tab he puts on his card.

But really it's more than just particulars that makes this great. The cheeky portrait of the film director as both a picky auteur and an unflinching power broker is hilarious. Also the way the director's juggernautian multi-tasking echoes the implied convoluted plot machinations of his fictional espionage/thriller sure is neat. All in all it makes me wanna watch The Life Aquatic again. Thankfully doing that doesn't have to involve my AmEx card.

Thank you Slate's Ad Report Card.
