Now don't get me wrong, Wes is up there with Scorsese, Tarantino, and the Coens on my list of favorite filmmakers, but besides the parody videos I don't think there's enough memetic material to warrant an entire page on him alone. I think we should start with a Wes Parodies page and see how it goes from there.
Still super excited for the Grand Budapest Hotel!
