(sorry but i just saw it this morning)
vs. h.e. pennypacker/art vandelay/kel varnsen gag in seinfeld puerto rican day episode
raleigh st. clair would fit nicely in above gag... actually a lot of the (weirdly familiar) names/made up characters (architects, 'wealthy industrialists') in seinfeld are like the names/characters in tenenbaums, why is that?
plus all the tenenbaums look like guess who people. i always liked joe, the one with red glasses - i think it was because he looked like a cross between my piano teacher and james valentine from 'the afternoon show', both on whom i had crushes.
haha even 'milton bradley' could be a character from tenenbaums/seinfeld

oops i don't think i meant architects but you get the picture (actually you probably don't, i'm not sure this thread makes sense to anyone but me)
plus i spose you're all tanenbaumed out

Come to think of it Richie Tenenbaum did look like a Guess Who character, if Richard in Guess Who wore dark glasses. Gwyneth Paltrow might end up looking like Susan one day. But how does one obtain a Royal Tenenbaums name?
