I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve been re-watching all of Wes Anderson movies recently. Like, maybe instead of eating. Or showering. Or brushing my teeth. It’s intense. While it’s easy to think of his films as eye candy and therefore an obvious choice for that reason alone, it’s actually his writing that absolutely draws me in every single time. I really needed a new desktop background, so while watching Hotel Chavelier, I decided to combine his brilliant quotes with some imagery in the form of wallpapers I could share. I’ve been coyly thinking of them as “Westop backgrounds.”
If these are popular, I’ll add Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Budapest and Life Aquatic too. For today, I’m going with Tenenbaums, Hotel, Darjeeling, Moonrise and Fox. Why? I don’t know. Cause when it comes to Wes, it’s not about favorites. It’s just about what speaks to you in the moment. And no matter when you see them, they’re all amazing.
So onward, here are the links to download each one:
DOWNLOAD THE HOTEL CHEVALIER DESKTOP BACKGROUND HERE.
DOWNLOAD THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX DESKTOP BACKGROUND HERE.
DOWNLOAD THE DARJEELING LIMITED DESKTOP BACKGROUND HERE.
DOWNLOAD THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS DESKTOP BACKGROUND HERE.
DOWNLOAD THE MOONRISE KINGDOM DESKTOP BACKGROUND HERE.
We do free desktop backgrounds on the regular around here, so if you’re not a Wes Anderson fan (who are you?!?!?), then maybe check out the archive for a few more options. You can find those here.
Now onto Rushmore. Because Max Fischer may not be crush-worthy, but at least he’s honest.
