Lopez: Your club experience as portrayed in the movie was different than the caricature of it, in other movies like Ice Storm, wasn't it?

Stillman: Yeah, I hated that movie, Ice Storm. I thought that was a typical cliché version of the period. It just didn't ring true to me. I didn't believe it.

Song called "The Last Days of Disco" on the new Saint Etienne album.

timellison, Thursday, 15 March 2012 05:10 (fourteen years ago)

he was selling yachts.

I met him when I dj'd an afterparty for a Metropolitan screening but not when I dj'd an afterparty for a Last Days of Disco screening.

I saw him recoil his hand when someone went to shake it and I thought "oh snap!" but then he did it to me and said he had a cold.

I had printed out lists of the songs I brought because I was djing off iPods and he took it from me, grabbed a pen and put stars next to the songs he really approved of.

years ago my wife worked for someone who went to school (probably prep school) with whit and this guy really had disdain for him. i think it was sort of political (stillman is sort of blue blood yankee republican, no?) but maybe also that stillman was just a slacker type, idk. anyway i love metropolitan, think last days is pretty solid, have mixed feelings about barcelona although i need to *rescreen* it since i haven't seen it since its original release. i will seek out his new one for sure, regardless.

Long story in the NYT magazine

going to an advance screening of this tonight (if i can get in). the trailer looks adorable. i am very pro-gerwig, being the one person on ilx who really liked greenberg.

the kids of boris midney high (get bent), Sunday, 18 March 2012 18:25 (fourteen years ago)

i thought greenberg was fine.

Can't stand Gerwig's line readings, and this looks like a Whit Stillman parody by the woman who wrote Gilmore Girls. Love the last three movies, but will wait for Netflix on this one.

i don't think you can really learn very much about a film by its trailer, no?

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Sunday, 18 March 2012 18:54 (fourteen years ago)

you can if that film is 2 Fast 2 Furious.

scott seward, Sunday, 18 March 2012 18:56 (fourteen years ago)

i really liked greenberg too

He sounds pretty bummed.

I enjoyed this!

whit stillman is a very youthful 60

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Friday, 30 March 2012 06:32 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, he didn't look that old at all.

stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Friday, 30 March 2012 06:32 (fourteen years ago)

nb I had to ditch most of the Q & A tonight but I saw the first bit. I wish I could have stuck around. Utopianism is a good entry point for this film, and that's what he was talking about when I left.

I may go too

Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 19:54 (fourteen years ago)

I'll be there tonight and tomorrow.

Virginia Plain, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 20:11 (fourteen years ago)

I'm guessing Laurel means Brooklyn and VP Astoria?

Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 21:19 (fourteen years ago)

Ah, laurel should come to bk to see the whit in person. Omg, I just realized Chris Eigeman will be present tonight.

The Siren interviews Stillman

I believe Stillman was in both places, directors work it when stuff opens.

A fan of Big Deal on Madonna Street:

This was pretty good. Loved Greta Gerwig referring to Real McCoy's "Another Night" as a "golden oldie."

get me bloodied (Eric H.), Friday, 6 April 2012 12:04 (fourteen years ago)

i am very pro-gerwig, being the one person on ilx who really liked greenberg.

Nah, I loved Greenberg.

Cuba Pudding, Jr. (jaymc), Friday, 6 April 2012 13:02 (fourteen years ago)

whatever i disliked about greenberg, it had nothing to do w/ gerwig

max, Friday, 6 April 2012 13:03 (fourteen years ago)

indeed
