A Little Wes Anderson Quirk

Today is Wes Anderson's birthday (May 1, 1969) and to commemorate the occasion, I am going to post a quirky video I discovered. The video was shot at the BORDERS Bookstore in Ann Arbor, MI. Mr. Anderson was there, with actor Jason Schwartzman, to publicize his film The Darjeeling Limited with a question and answer session and a signing of the film's soundtrack on cd. Before, or after, their appearance in front of the retail public, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Schwartzman chronicled their browsing through the cd and dvd section of the store. I'm sure most of their recommendations are quite serious, but, at times, there seems to be a dry dead pan edge to their comments. Oh, and pay attention to his plugging of the wonderful Criterion Collection.
