DiD made me laugh about five times as hard as L&F, which counts for something in a comedy, I suppose.

I enjoyed DiD more than L&F too. I think it would be easy to pick it apart, but I laughed hard and thought Gerwig was utterly charming.

I've avoided seeing it precisely because of Gerwig.

I don't love her in everything, but I thought it was kind of a perfect part for her.

This is great to hear! I really liked The Cosmopolitans pilot. His commitment to making the series happen puts me in mind of the Sambola!

Haven't made it through the whole interview, but having not really known a lot about Stillman himself previously, I'm amazed how autobiographical his early movies were (worked in publishing in the late '70s, moved to Barcelona afterwards etc.).

Stillman on Twitter is really leaning into "lifetime white-shoe Republican repulsed at what his party has become"

Despite the Gerwigmania gripping our nation, not only is Damsels In Distress OOP on both DVD & Blu, it's also not streaming except as a rental from Direct TV (or as a purchased download from the usual suspects).
Somebody should get on that.
