The poster for Wes Anderson’s ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’ has big yellow text because of course

DO YOUR WHIMSY DANCE, KITSCH MONKEY!

The poster for Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel is here, and what a surprise, it looks like a tasteful, shabby chic book cover from olden times. Rumor has it the trailer will drop on Thursday, so get your plaid ready.

A famous hotel’s legendary concierge [Fiennes] strikes up a friendship with a young employee who becomes his trusted protégé. [imdb]

Ooh, do you think the film will feature any center-framed shots of said concierge giving deadpan orders in vintage vernacular while a dutiful, close-cropped subordinate carefully ticks off a checklist? I wonder if they’ll have uniforms and trinkets and jargon!

I kid ol Wes, European aristocracy seems like the milieu he was born for, and the idea of Harvey Keitel in a Wes Anderson movie makes me nearly tumescent. So I’ll probably be there on opening day, wearing my smokiest eye makeup and playing some French shit on a boombox.
