It's a fair point, though it would be a fairer one had Sir Roy not spent so many of the preceding pages making clear how distant he felt from the suburban setup fate allotted him.
In particular, one element of Anderson's direction offers kinetic invention — his taste for sudden action bursting into the frame, which, during the movie's early scenes of a suburban setup (when an ordinary family finds itself thrust into a vortex of violence), occur with such a regular and ludicrous insistence that I expected the rest of the film to ramp it up into out-and-out comedy.
In "Women's Experience," six photographs from Laurie Simmons's "Early Color Interiors" series, from 1978 and 1979, depict elaborate dollhouse setups in which a suburban housewife doll enacts daily rituals.
In lieu of a proper mad-genius laboratory setup, he works in the suburban garage of a house owned by his daughter, Beth (voiced by Sarah Chalke), and her ineffectual husband, Jerry Chris Parnelll).
She's a genre unto herself (but one that Kristen Wiig, with "Bridesmaids," is closing in on), and her presence suggests the possibility of emotional stings that the movie hardly delivers on (the best parts of the film are in the setup scenes of urban frustration and suburban malaise).
The setup of the play is that Roger Charles Kimbroughh), a suburban husband and proud businessman, has become worried about his wife, Peggy Sandy Duncann), who has rearranged the furniture in their traditional living room in what is explained as a politically motivated expression of revolt at the government of President George W.

A numerical setup mimics the experiments carried out in the boundary layer wind tunnel for the rural, suburban, and urban terrain exposure.
This experimental setup has been used in six representative buildings: a major international airport, a local airport, a suburban shopping mall, an inner city office building, a city skyscraper, and a detached residential house.
The setup involves Claire's birthday party, supervised by her cheerful parents — her father (Neal Huff) is a stereotypically goofy white suburban movie dad, complete with dad jokes — and it's established that her parents insisted that she invite Casey in the name of decency, a charity invitation.
