Asteroid City -The movie

[davidka]

It looks the right size (the one in the pic is a relatively small pipe) and general shape, but the rim of the pipe in the pic has a flat rim with a sharp edge whereas the Chacom-Reybert #1930 has a rounded rim and edge. I think you're very warm though. It's a rather unusual shape and size as modern pipe smokers seem to prefer larger pipes so that smaller new pipes are harder to come by.

Maybe a chacom reybert 1926 as suggest here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PipeTobacco/comments/1510wax/_/js6m7yp

Thanks very much, @Butter Side Down, @mingc and @davidka, for your input. As a newbie in the forum, I was half-expecting to be shot down for expressing a wish to "wear" a pipe as an affectation just because I saw one in a film, but there was none of that! From what I can tell from this page –

Punch

www.pipechacom.com

– the Chacom Punch #1926 and #1930 are identical, except that the former is blue and the latter is brown. Even if the #1930 isn't Augie's exact pipe, it's close enough for me, and moreover I think it's beautiful in its (almost Magritte-worthy) elegance and simplicity. I went ahead and ordered one of those; it's currently puffing its way over the Channel to me.

I feel like Wes Anderson ran out of ideas 2-3 films ago and just falls back on his over stylized, style, to make up for anything that approaches a compelling story that isn't somehow nauseatingly derivative of his earlier work. The trailer for Asteroid City was enough to know that this would be just another Wes-fest of overly considered wardrobes and sets with not much else under the over-preened exterior.

This spot-on description made me not going to see the movie.

Bottle Rocket is the first one. Which is really great but the least Andersony of Wes's movies. It's much more of a traditional comedy. Sure there are some big hints of his style. For example the colors are over saturated but in a way that still looks natural. The second one was Rushmore which apparently is semi-autobiographical. I think the Royal Tenenbaums is the third.
If you care IMDB should confirm or deny this.

Rushmore is a love story for anyone that went to school between 1970 and 1999 and felt out of place and unusual while there. I loved it. Still do.

This bomb gets casually dropped and the thread does not deviate one second from discussing pipes.
That is discipline.

It sure got my attention... (checks movie times)

With that said... I might rewatch Rushmore. That's by far my favorite film of his!

Rushmore, will check it out.
If it doesn' feel like a wardrobe show I might watch till the end.

it's kind of a great movie. In a way it's very much showcases why indie movies are kind of needed. And the weirdness is just the weirdness of starring a nerdy intelligent sorta mature teen (well the role, not sure how old the actor was).
