Wes Anderson and Jason Schwartzman Doing What They Do Best

Jason Schwartman peaked at Rushmore and Wes Anderson should blow open the escape hatch of his immaculate echo chamber and never look back. In other words, these two could stand to drop the airs of prentense and get their hands dirty - a drum I’ve been beating for so long that I’m tired of writing it, and anyone who’s been lurking around here for a while is no doubt tired of reading. Offered up for those that will get something out of it regardless, the video shows off their knack for tastemaking in an impromptu infomercial session the pair conducted for Borders. In time, Anderson finds his comfort zone and tosses out some helpful viewing suggestions. Schwartzman remains shameless. (via Alejandr)
