whit stillman is a very youthful 60

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

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'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.

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

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

nyt review is mostly positive.
― scott seward, Friday, 6 April 2012 20:10 (fourteen years ago)
but its not a rave or anything.
still, it makes you want to see it. if you read movie reviews in the nyt.
― scott seward, Friday, 6 April 2012 20:11 (fourteen years ago)
same w/ new yorker review. loved greenberg, LOVE gerwig. stoked for this.

Once I got accustomed to its...idiosyncracies...I really liked it.
Even though that scene reminds me of Fat Girl and that's weird.

the one where the girl is raped by the guy who kills her mother and sister?

I enjoyed watching it in the same way I might enjoy watching Mean Girls and reading Myra Breckenridge at the same time. what most excited me though is the hope that stillman might become active again, which I guess means I didn't think it was great. he introduced the film so that was neat (sadly, he is not quite a whit stillman character himself), and It's definitely fun if you don't work too hard trying to resolve the politics of the thing.

nobody told me duquan from the wire was in damsels!!!
gerwig was great and it was really funny. kind of felt unfinished; my sister said she thought it was more like a bunch of short stories than a full narrative.
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 05:05 (fourteen years ago)
agree that it felt unfinished. his films have always had an oddly-paced, episodic feel with lots of plot threads left untied, but this didn't quite meld with Damsel's campy, almost bubblegum sheen. like, when you end a movie with consecutive song-and-dance numbers, you expect this is because everything has suddenly become resolved (ala Hairspray lol).

Glenn Kenny has thoughts on The Last Days of Disco, and how Lena Dunham's assessment of it (and her Tiny Furniture) relates:

― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:39 (fourteen years ago)
yeah it was a funny way to phrase dunham's question, given how horrible charlotte is. but i take it to be a big concern of hers, depictions of female friendship, which i dig. stillman's non-response was pretty annoying tbh but i still love him.
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:49 (fourteen years ago)
Was just telling NY/Buffalo crowd that I'd never seen a Stillman movie, ended up seeing this at the Landmark Sunshine the following night. At first I thought it was clunky and embarrassing and I wasn't sure what it was aiming for, but then it suddenly took off and became a lot of fun.

damsels is ok. its really cute and amusing, but maybe not funny. there were parts where i didnt really understand what he was doing. glad hes making stuff again though
― Hungry4Ass, Monday, 21 May 2012 00:43 (fourteen years ago)
yea i didnt think it was funny really at all. kinda thought it was a waste of time for everyone involved including me watching it
