"I thought the designer character was played a lot like the Victor
Spinetti TV director character from "A Hard Days Night", -you know, the
same kind of fidgety nervous quirkiness, which I thought was really
cool. I thought its was too similar to be anything other than a
tribute of sorts and not merely a coincidence. Was this the intent?"

No. Never even occured to me.

I *am* capable of making up my own characters, you know....
