I thought for a minute the title meant it was the Metropolitan cast decamped to Paris, but then I realised they'd be a bit old.

I just watched the Metropolitan trailer for the first time in over 20 years. It used to play before every film at my university film society for a while.

I don't understand the TV business well enough to read that link properly -- does it mean there's a 10% chance I get a Whit Stillman sitcom, or a 90% chance I get a Whit Stillman sitcom?

Finally remembered to watch "The Cosmopolitans" pilot. Liked it alot and sent positive feedback. Nice to hear Stillman loading the soundtrack with Uptown Soul. He's kind of underrated as a soundtrack director.

It’s a problem, of course, because I think racism is not acceptable, but having class prejudice, people can pat themselves on the back for. It’s reverse class prejudice. Millions of people have been killed for being bourgeois. Should there be consciousness about that? How much of the hatred of anti-Semitism was a class thing, because the Jews of Germany were successful economically? Categorizing people economically and hating them because you think they’re this way is a prejudice.
:/ :\
