Red Jacket Raspberry apple juice and Wes Anderson. I could watch Hotel Chevalier every day for the rest of my life. Every time I watch it I fell in love with another element of it that I somehow missed before. There are some constant favorites, however. For instance, I love how Jack [Jason] tries to make everything perfect before his ex-grilfriend [Natalie] comes - with the music, showering, and trying to put on the right face for her. I love how at first Natalie is the dominant characters - saying so little, interegating Jason, and chewing on her toothpick. Oh and that boot scene, so powerful. Then, Jason tells it how it is with these lines.
Ex-girlfriend: Whatever happens in the end, I don't wanna lose you as my friend.
Jack: I promise, I will never be your friend. No matter what. Ever.
Ex-girlfriend: If we fuck I'm gonna feel like shit tomorrow.
Jack: That's okay with me.
Ex-girlfriend: I love you. I never hurt you on purpose.
Jack: I don't care.
And I love how Natalie probably borrowed Wes Anderson's pants for the film.
The world is on a Wes Anderson kick and I love it.
