A rare example of a movie that got better and better and better the more it went on,

I noted the same thing but then realized I had to reacquaint myself with his rhythms.

Feel like it is approaching the time for my semi-decadal sighting of Chris Eigeman.

...out of that weakness, out of that envy, out of that fear.. (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 30 January 2014 05:43 (twelve years ago)

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?

Can't say I'm still in touch with Whit. But I am friends with someone who'd know a ton about Amazon Studios.

Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Thursday, 30 January 2014 17:53 (twelve years ago)

From the URL, thought Stillman was creating a show about Shaun Cassidy.

I'd think closer to 90% than 10%

A letter Whit Stillman wrote to the New York Times in 1974.

The most Whit Stillman-esque Whit Stillman letter ever

That post, like the tiny record shop thread and geeshie wiley discussion before it, made my day.

Kilgore Haggard Replica (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 24 April 2014 01:49 (twelve years ago)

It's great, isn't it? It's as if it comes straight from one of his scripts.

Stillman tweeted "Death To Hip Hop", and several ilxors hard sonned him (kudos to JBR for "The Notorious U.H.B.")

For some reason I can still see the tweet minus the responses on my phone.

So even a free first episode can't be watched in Europe? Fuck that.

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.

Trying to imagine what a Stillman-authored ep of Sanford & Son would look like.

You and Dad's Army? (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 15 September 2014 18:43 (eleven years ago)

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.

:/ :\

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Monday, 15 September 2014 18:55 (eleven years ago)

Millions of people have been killed for being bourgeois.

if Whit's keeping score he seems to have missed a salient point here
