San Francisco Movie Pass Adventures: The Phoenician Scheme and The Life of Chuck

Wes Anderson should do a Stephen King movie.

Wes Anderson certainly has a style, doesn’t he?

My fake poster for this is pretty weak, but I enjoyed trying to push Anderson’s color grading into superhero territory.

This is more like three related short films than a single movie. Some of it works well, and some of it is trying far too hard to look like deep wisdom. But that’s also how Stephen King writes, so that makes sense.

This fake poster also isn’t particularly great, but I thought the tagline at the top was pretty funny.
