Allison,
You're right about Boo Boo's married name... I think hers was actually
Tannenbaum, or something close. Wes Anderson (the director/ co-writer)
denies any direct connection. They actually got the name from a friend of
theirs named Brian Tenenbaum, who had small roles in the Royal Tenenbaums,
Rushmore, and Bottlerocket.
But that's besides the point, there are a lot of similarities between the
families. I think for reasons both obvious and non, Richie Tenenbaum has a
lot in common with Seymour Glass, and I couldn't help but think of Franny
when Margot moped around in her way. How many of you guys have seen this
movie? I don't want to go on and on and ruin it for people, nor do I want to
bore anyone, but I think it's a very interesting topic.
-Ryan
