the Whit Stillman Poll

david simon was right, i need to revisit buffy

otm

Cannot remember a thing about LDD, beyond liking it at one time. Maybe worth a revisit?

His worst, although I've got friends who can quote reams of its crappy dialogue. It's the only time his low budgets cramped his aesthetic (the discos look like high school cafeterias).

it's really funny

and it's better than barcelona (i am not a dude fwiw)

ldd owns

prefer Barcelona (the only one I've seen in the THEE-ah-ter).

Like Barcelona alot, largely because, despite the fact that someone is shot and there are explosions, it has only the vaguest notion of a plot, just Eigeman and Taylor hanging out 80% of the time. At least that's how I remember it.

barcelona is kind of boring and gross. chris eigeman is beautiful, though.

saw Taylor Nichols in a late "Murder, She Wrote" episode :/

taylor nichols has appeared in some suspect shit (mind of a married man)

imdb sez he's in Damsels - four for four!

yeah...carolyn farina has a bit part in damsels, too

I am watching Barcelona

i really want to see barcelona again haven't seen it since it was in the theaters and i remember being very lukewarm about it.

carolyn farina is so cute

i saw all of them in the theaters you hulu watching poseurs

metropolitian almost definitely the best, barcelona almost definitely the 'worst', last days of disco my fave.

that is an acceptable pov

We'll all realize our hubris when posterity declares that episode of HOMICIDE he directed to be the best.

I just watched Barcelona and it was very unengaging.

WAH

a stepmother of unTRAMMELED malevolence!!

it's weird how many of the actors in Met look familiar but have sparse imdb pages + i can't quite place them. maybe they just have the look of someone who could've been famous

soto, morbs: new one opens here friday

I haven't seen it, too busy writing about shit no one cares about.

omg these poll results are dead wrong!

yeah...carolyn farina has a bit part in damsels, too

i saw this last night & didn't notice, what was it?

barcalona is the funniest one imho

just googled taylor nichols and it suggested to me that i search for chris eigeman instead

i like barcelona a lot; eigeman's genuinely wounded imperialism is hilarious.

jumping out of the car to huffily try and remove anti-american graffiti with a sharpie.

eigeman is definitely the best part, but it's not as funny as ldd

i like when he's making fun of dustin hoffman in the graduate. "elaine, elaine"

Metropolitan is the only one I've seen. I don't remember a lot about it except feeling like there were a lot of inside jokes going on that I didn't get. The friend who recommended it to me was a scholarship kid at a highly prestigious private school so maybe it meant more to her.

it def helps if you find the mention of well-placed Averill Harriman, Bunuel, and Trilling references thrilling in itself.

I don't read literary criticism, I just read blogs about it.

just realized Robert Sean Leonard is in Last Days

omg these poll results are dead wrong!

yeah metropolitan is the best but i like them all so much that theyre all deserving winners, gold medals all around imo

who do you think whit stillman's favourite authors are?

f scott?

jane austin?

fourier

i'd guess oscar wilde too

he says jane austen & tolstoy and then some other author/novel that i can't make out at 9:40 here

http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/3494

can you figure that out?

■The Life of Samuel Johnson by James Boswell (unabridged edition)
■Essay on Man by Alexander Pope
■Childhood, Boyhood, Youth by Leo Tolstoy
■Portrait of Max: An Intimate Memoir of Sir Max Beerbohm by S.N. Behrman
■The Price Was High: Fifty Uncollected Stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald

otm re fitzgerald, his short stories were his best work

can you make out what he's saying in that charlie rose clip, mordy?
