Jul 16 2010If God Of War Was A Wes Anderson Movie

i like cake.

wow. That looks funny, can't say it'd be watched at all if it was real xD

hey wes anderson is good.

It's pretty obvious that the original Geekologie writer is either on vacation, quit, or fired. Sigh, I'll miss him.

Good luck original GW. I hope you come back. Or at least keep in touch. And keep writing!!!

lol forreal?

sucks. in no way like wes anderson. congratulations on making crap. waste of time. hyperbole

Wait a minute. Those aren't tennis rackets! Those are Badminton Rackets!

I really want to see this

I want to see it. it looks terrible, it looks like the kind of crap anyone with an hour and some good weed could dream up.

Ill donate the first dollar to this project.

@6 on the nose. I was thinking the same thing. That was like an emo band's music video.

@7 YES!

What happened to the real GW? I am not even coming back to this website if he doesnt.

Heh... cyclops...

@11 Snoop, maybe he's just on his honeymoon.

We should probably go easy on the new GW -- he's probably a summer intern. If he's permanent he'll eventually develop his own voice.

If original-GW is gone for good I'd like to know if he has another blog somewhere. Naas, are you listening, any ideas on this?

@6 Yep.
To be honest, I'm not even sure what's being parodied here. No part of this has a recognizable analog. Sure, I can see the genre influence, but it has none of the specific cliches or touchstones of either Wes Anderson or God of War. Take off the makeup and tennis rackets and it doesn't seem like it could stand on it's own as anything more than an homage to hipster cinema.

Wow, a thread filled with bitchy posters trying their best at being sarcastic, witty, disinterested, etc. ... how original.

@ 1 I LOVE CAKE, and I also like pie.

this made me irrationally angry.
i don't even like god of war.
never let wes anderson near anything.
this is probably exactly what he'd do. :\

indie music fan, much GW? :)

@15 DISINTERESTED ISN'T A WORD!!!!!!! it'S UNINTERESTED LEARN HOW TO USE A PREFIX PROPERLY BEFORE USING ONE!!!!!!!

phew, had to get that off my chest. But seriously people, if you're not sure what prefix goes with a word, don't use it. Next time, if you can't remember which prefix to use with interested, just say "not interested" k thx.

with better actors this could be all right

@19, yr comment is totally disinteresting.

@19 What? Disinterested is absolutely a word. Go check a dictionary.

this was perfect in parodying wes anderson films or hipster cinema in general, and i like some of his films.

Hey @#19, you are retarded

@19

Is not. It is. !!!!!! Okay and thanks.

Just as you did, I too felt the need to point out some things about your post that bug me. The only parts that would technically be wrong is your lazy as fuck way of writing "Okay" or "Ok" and "Thank You" or "Thanks".

One more point of contention the I must express with your post is your egregious overuse of the exclamation point. Stop. Just Stop. One will do, One will get your point across.

Your post contributes nothing towards the thread itself. Therefor what you wrote is of disinterest to us.

Thank you

I wanna have Zane Bauer's babies!

beautiful

This is SPOT ON, I don't care what you say. I like Wes Anderson's movies (Rushmore is perhaps one of the best comedies of all time), but let's be honest, this is just too accurate for words.

This was more like an obscure indie version of GOW. The music was too trendy and new. Not enough vertical shots. Nothing in slow motion. Shitty color scheme. NOT Wes Anderson-like at all.The guy just put in a couple of altered scenes from Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums like they were the only two movies he's seen. It would have been funny if I've never heard of Wes Anderson.

It would be more accurate to say that this is "if God Of War was an indie dramedy".

While there are some Wes Anderson references, very few of them are specific. The two moments at the pool (everybody jumping in except the main character, and the female lead swimming on her back, in her underwear) and the "bunch of worshippers who miss the same imaginary beings" line (clearly translated from "a group of people who miss the same imaginary place") are straight out of Garden State, which is not a Wes Anderson picture. And the title card at the end is clearly an Away We Go reference which Wes Anderson also had nothing to do with.

Definitely more Zach Braff/Garden State than anything else, just a parody using God of War's characters. Many of the shot compositions are direct spoofs, as are more than a few lines. Check out the trailer (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/garden_state/) for comparison, if you're bored or looking for something mildly interesting to tell your friends about tonight over fondu and vino. Well done, for sure...just not that original. Nice use of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, though!

For what it's worth, all these years later I think the Garden State teaser trailer is still my fave, ever...

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site [A_g_e_m_i_n_g_le @ c.//o.//m]---a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

Dang wish I didn't waste the time to watch that turd. Damed hipsters and their love if irony.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros!!!
good song

I'm gonna go ahead and say this is actually pretty funny and I enjoyed it? Please don't make fun of me for saying so?

@34
great song. was kinda shocked to hear it here.

@the rest of you, while it may not be the most accurate Anderson parody, can you honestly say that you didn't get the references? I found it entertaining and mildly funny, just as I think it was intended.

Kratos ain't no kracker, well maybe he would be in an Anderson film, but thats bullshit. One of the studios needs to pick up God of War and make those movies, just not fucking Disney. If only there was an actor that looked like Vin Diesle, but could act.

Looks like a fun movie.

Damn the teaser with no date.

"WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE SEX!"

Good MST3K reference

@37 I vote for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, or Ray Liota depending on which direction it goes in.

This is "if God Of War was Rushmore". Boo.

Awh that was really cool! Totally Wes Anderson! haha, two of my most favourite things put together, the bloody and downright kick assness of god of war, mixed with the large panned shots and soothing dialogue of Wessy. Awesome.

@37 The perfect image and voice for Kratos would be Kevin Garnett.

Only problem is that no one knows if can act. He probably can't if you assume the best actors are the ones already working, since most of them can't act.

If Kevin can't do it I'll take that guy from Blood Diamond. The one who lost his family, not Leo.

That was sooo....... um.......white.

i'd watch this simply because of how preposterous it is.

haha. def followed the wes anderson "how to make a movie" routine.

I wouldn't even say this is Wes Anderson. Gigantic and Napoleon Dynamite weren't Wes Anderson movies.

@ 40 Really? Liota? Have you actually played the game? Besides, Ray'd just suck it up like he did in In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale. If there is one thing we've learned from his past performances it's that when things get all fantasy and medieval, he starts acting more dramatic than a cutter. I'm never listening to anything you say.

This was good.

Reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite more than anything.

i loved it great music really cute girl

Totally Garden State-esque. Not Wes Anderson.....

The end where it showed all the characters and the "Are you listening to me?" "YES I AM" are both from The Royal Tenenbaums. That's about all I saw.

And the beginning when it first shows Kratos is from Rushmore.

Pretentious wannabe arts fartsy movie. Neat idea but looks thin. Wish edward sharp and the mag. zeros hadn't licensed their music to be used for this crap

What was the name of that song? I NEED ANSWERS!

Brilliant according to who? Hipster douchebags who like Michael Cera movies?

this is brilliant!! michael cera should be in this!
