I was reminded of this thread when I recently saw Wes Anderson's film The Darjeeling Limited. I've enjoyed WE's films but this one left me more cold than not. The film had all the hallmark Anderson visual, character, casting, and musical touches. I couldn't get beyond the three main...
Casting based on celebrity drama...It's good to see some things never change. ;)
As much I as enjoy Huston's film I hate the female casting and how the studio removed any sexuality from his version. The femme fatale is the lynchpin for the story and Huston's version has minimal sexual...
Of course. Cost is relative to location, income, living condition, etc. I was just adding fodder to the discussion. My wife and I only have one child. It would have been harder to send more than one to a private school.

To a large degree yes. I think a point here is those poking fun at the images are absolutely not wealthy Gilded Age Industrialists or Russian, French aristocrats/landed gentry, etc. Most of the critics are probably a couple of paychecks from going under. It is not a matter of rich knocking...
