reading (upthread) of him selling their new york appartment for $50,000 raised a laugh.

"A screenplay I am working on," said Stillman, "is a college-girl comedy inspired by the Kate Beckinsale character in 'Last Days of Disco.' That character is the leader of a pack in a fictional college in Pennsylvania, a Susquehanna kind of area, not exactly Philadelphia. It will be squeaky- clean. PG-13. She is a gossip fanatic who reads the columns.
"She has a crisis and becomes very depressed, maybe one of her coterie becomes pregnant. Keep the baby is my motto. She is obsessed with the Tattle column, she is a regular reader of the Daily News

sorry - cut off the end of that quote:
and she ends up feeding important items to the Tattle column about the university president."
Imagine him and Wes Anderson doing their version of Grindhouse.

Funnily enough, I think he and Tarantino have a fair bit in common, both having made flights of conversational fancy a hallmark of their work at a time when talkiness was unfashionable.

Am I ever going to get a chance to see this film?
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 12:29 (eighteen years ago)
See, I've already waited too long
I think I was wrong to say, years ago, that Stillman was too trendy for me. Maybe it was just the fact that N. liked him so much that made me think that. Or maybe LDD had changed my perception of who liked him. In fact, I saw and loved Metropolitan way back when I was 16, so I shouldn't have had any qualms about continuing to love it - as I do.
N. was quite right to say that Stillman and Tarantino have things in common: the Lady & The Tramp discussion in LDD is probably the clearest example (I have seen) of this.

Jesus - this clown has got a whole book out of a 15-second throwaway speech in The Last Days of Disco! Even in the film it feels a bit tired.
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 13:11 (eighteen years ago)
In fact - book this clown.

Wow. The Last Days of Disco remains a total disappointment. What a waste.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who feels that way...

Yeah, pretty sure I'll never see a Walt Stillman film.

― Miss Fitzhenry (s1ocki), Wednesday, 26 August 2009 02:45 (sixteen years ago)
by far my favorite of his films. Partly bcz there isn't much disco in it.
― Indiana Morbs and the Curse of the Ivy League Chorister (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 26 August 2009 02:54 (sixteen years ago)
as opposed to his other disco-packed dancefloor romps?
― Miss Fitzhenry (s1ocki), Wednesday, 26 August 2009 02:55 (sixteen years ago)
Screening at Lincoln Center on Thursday, with Stillman there.

There's plenty of disco in TLDOD -- he just doesn't have an ear for it or a sense of what to do with the damn tunes.
― post-contrarian meta-challop 2009 (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 26 August 2009 02:59 (sixteen years ago)
yeah, it's not really about disco. hate to break it to you!
