...think men have long been concerned with their appearance. Perhaps the phenomenon we're witnessing is that the average Asian male rather than becoming increasingly vain is merely being more open about that vanity. And now that Asian men have better access to floral shirts and facials, they probably feel it's now acceptable?even good?to admit that they want that improved access.

...Squid and the Whale,” to Wes Anderson’s cult classic, “The Royal Tenenbaums.” The comparison isn’t entirely unjustified: both films chronicle the disintegration of elite New York City families headed by vain and delusional patriarchs. Also, Baumbach and Anderson are collaborators—Baumbach co-wrote Anderson’s 2004 film “The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.” Though thematically similar, the two films diverge greatly in style: Baumbach substitutes nouvelle vague grittiness for Anderson’s zany magical...
