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

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

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.

"Essay on Man" is awesome for its epigrammatic virtues.
lol "The Price is High" I read as a senior year high school Fitz obsessive.

have any of you read his (stillman's) novel?

Bought a ticket to see him introduce The Last Days of Disco on Thursday. He's here Wednesday for Metropolitan, which is probably the better film; just felt like seeing Last Days instead. (I've still never seen Barcelona.) I feel like I should wear a bow tie for some reason.

Baumbach gets points for Carlos Jacott, a Whit Stillman actor who never appeared in a Whit Stillman movie.
I just want to pedantically point out that Carlos Jacott actually does have the tiniest of cameos in Last Days of Disco

I liked The Last Days of Disco more than the couple of times I saw it when it first came out. I probably liked it as much as I can like a film where every conversation sounds like lines being read. Great music, of course, and excellent Demme-like coda.
The Q&A was an ordeal. First of all the guy running it took up the first half-hour--I just wanted him to shut up and turn it over to the audience. Stillman mumbles and rambles--I could barely understand him. (It wasn't the acoustics; I could hear the other guy fine.) If I did hear one thing correctly--Stillman saying that by 1969, black music had disappeared from the radio--his memory is either extremely faulty, or he was listening to some format other than Top 40 radio. 1970-72 was one of the greatest periods for black music on Top 40 radio ever. If he meant that there were obscure proto-disco records not being played on the radio, then I'm sure he's right about that--even though something like Chakachas' "Jungle Fever" was a big hit.
