and you expect to see the lights to stay on?

who are really HIGH! (or tripping)

Most movies are digital now. You don't have the broken films and such like you used to.

and I was disappointed with the effort, to say the least. The set design and the colors were all amazing, especially the motel and the rocks and desert, the latter looking like a Warner Brothers roadrunner cartoon. But, that's where the magic ended. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it by elaborating (and if you saw 15 minutes in, you know what I'm talking about), but the film contains a framing device that I found to be absolutely jarring. The set-up was explained at the beginning, so it was not unanticipated. Nonetheless, each time it occurred I was pulled completely out of the story. It was wholly unnecessary.

Wes Anderson, to my way of thinking, has gotten too cute by half. It's been a slow slide since Moonrise Kingdom and Grand Budapest Hotel, the apex of his filmmaking IMHO, and this film keeps that trend intact.
