Commentary Inventory, No. 1.

A preface:
In 2002, enjoying his post-college unemployment, my friend Tim sat down with pen and paper and documented every influence--film, book, record, artist, etc.--that Wes Anderson mentioned on the commentary track of Criterion's Royal Tenenbaums DVD.
Tragically, I never saw said list. If you know me, you know I love--nay, lurve--lists, especially ones from oddball tastemakers, like, say, Wes Anderson or my friend Nayiri. Thus, I set out to recreate this mythical list and upped the ante by putting it on my interblog and added a bunch of hyperlinks and that blah blah blah.
So here it is, in all its time-wasting glory, every little thing Anderson mentioned as being influential to the making of Tenenbaums.
