This is the absolute WASPiest (and thus absolute best) movie I've ever seen.

Best line so far:

"I don't know where to get a good overcoat..."

"Uh...Brooks? J. Press? Tripler? Paul Stuart? Duh."

The one guy has really fantastic horn-rimmed frames. I am getting a pair for sure.

jesus that is like every guy and girl I went to school with. Wool/shetland crewneck sweaters are very hard to come by

I will order a pink Shetland for my next bespoke sweater.

Will your tailor add in a sense of entitlement to the sweater?

Mid to late 80s? Liberal arts? Before that darned internut shopping fad started. LL Bean and Lands end catalogues and the newly born J. Crew which did not have as sturdy rugby shirts.

Didn't I recommend you watch this awhile back, Conne?

You should also check out the other Whit Stillman movies and probably Baumbach's Kicking and Screaming, which all share same/similar casts and tone.

Tanqueray is just bad. Try Plymouth.

Tanqueray is fine for me on a student's budget. And I have to admit I'm a sucker for those silly commercials.

Conne, you would look so ridiculous in horn-rimmed glasses.

I much prefer Plymouth, but Tanqueray is more readily available.
