The very talented Dean Fraser has been Simpson-izing pop culture figures for years and he’s finally taken on an Anderson character.

To see more of Dean’s fine work, visit his blog Springfield Punx where you can see Dr. Peter Venkman, Jason Schwartzman’s Scott Pilgrim character Gideon Graves, and ton more.

Twitter HQ introduces you to their staff in a very familiar way…

(Thanks to reader chad osko for the tip.)

It looks so detailed I imagine it’ll be even more impressive in person, but we like it.

Pre-order the DVD here and the Blu-Ray here. For specs on the set take a look at our earlier story, the DVD and Blu-Ray will be out on October 10th.

Update: You can view a hi-res version of the cover over the Criterion Cast.

The Criterion Collection has announced their fall releases, and as we previously reported The Darjeeling Limited will finally be making it to the collection.

No  cover art yet, but we do have info about the 2 Disc set, which you can find after the break.

Happy Father’s Day from our dysfunctional family to yours…

Though it is still without a firm release date, you can now pre-order The Criterion Collection edition of The Dajreeling Limited on Blu-Ray at Amazon.

Remember, by ordering through our links you’re helping to support the site and keep us up and running.

It appears Darjeeling is one of the few Criterion titles with a pre-order page that hasn’t already been officially announced, so hopefully that means we can expect a release date soon.

A little homage to The Life Aquatic on last night’s Daily Show…

Threadless is now selling what they call a “Geek Alphabet” t-shirt, which you can see below.

There are a few Wes characters among the letters, how many can you spot?

Richard Brody in his New Yorker blog Front Row relays an interview from the German newspaper Die Zeit with Wes Anderson on the recently release of Fantastic Mr. Fox in Germany. Wes apparently “let slip” that perhaps the puppets from Fox could be used in a future Christmas special!

Today The Playlist (via Blu-Ray.com) informs us of three new titles the Criterion Collection will release this fall, one of which is Wes Anderson’s fifth feature film The Darjeeling Limited.

If you’re a reader of the site you know we’ve been campaigning for such a release since it was announced that the film would initially not be Criterion-ized, so as you can imagine we’re thrilled.

Not much information yet, but Criterion has confirmed the title, and will release DVD and Blu-Ray editions sometime before the end of the year. We will of course keep you informed as more information comes in.

For now, let’s go get a drink and smoke a cigarette.
