It feels like every other Anderson film I’ve seen, which is both exhilarating and deeply underwhelming at the same time. 😛
I truly wish he would branch out and tackle some different subject matter.

So, I ordered fifty separate packages from Amazon in the United Kingdom. Fifty! Granted, they’re all tiny—roughly 7 ounces each—but still, fifty! And for three weeks now, there hasn't been a single sign of them.
My immediate concern isn't even getting my money back (though that's a whole other headache); it's the sheer impossibility of fifty packages simply vanishing within the postal system.
They weren't sent via certified mail, but I thought I'd call the local post office to see if anyone had actually laid eyes on them, or perhaps the carrier just missed leaving a notice. I figured someone might eventually realize that fifty packages traveling all the way from the United Kingdom were all destined for the exact same address.
The other afternoon, I called the main hub here in San Francisco, and they gave me a number for the parcel department. When I called that number, they basically told me they handle parcels, but I needed the delivery division. I have no clue what that specific department is officially called, but fine, I tried calling this third number (342-539). Naturally, nobody picked up.
Fine, so I call Washington, D.C. I spent five minutes trying to explain to a woman that I just needed a direct line in San Francisco where someone would actually answer regarding these fifty packages, but I didn't get it. She told me to leave my details so they could "investigate the matter" and get back to me. They said the turnaround is forty-eight hours at most; go ahead and guess whether they ever called.
So, what can I say? What good advice is left to give? Who am I supposed to call now, and which number should I even try?
