does he have family money? wtf does one do for 13 years? he's like the terrence malick of modest behaviorist indie filmmakers.

I am too young to have watched this guy's films in the 90s but the Damsels in Distress trailer is somehow intriguing to me despite the fact that I'm not sure exactly what it will be like
90% chance I'm interested because of Greta Gerwig's sad, sad eyes

Hasn't he sometimes claimed he made some money doing various translations? Which would actually fit with the wealthy family thing.

does one actually make money doing translations?

I suppose some do, but anecdotally I associate it with a certain strain of trustafarianism

did i mention that my brother-in-law edited this movie? hahaha! i did already 5 times. yeah, i've heard mixed stuff about it, but i'm sure there will be stuff in it that i would like. there's gotta be.

skot, I've been meaning to ask you for a while now, how come you always seem to have the inside dope on Whit Stilliman's goings on?
― Dalai Mixture (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 February 2012 00:44 (twelve years ago) link
Haven't read it, but not out of animosity towards the author, just that I have a big pile of other Dalkey Archive titles that I haven't got around to reading yet.

i don't really know much about him! i'm just a fan of the first three and my bro-in-law edited two of the four. but he has never really told me anything juicy about him. i'd like to meet him!
― scott seward, Sunday, 19 February 2012 00:51 (twelve years ago) link
andy is married to maria's sister. he's great. i love hanging out with both those guys. we will be staying with them in march during the EMP thing at NYU. he only edits arty things. he did Bully. and Ken Park. and some other arty stuff. but it was kind of a blast when i met him to find out that he worked on last days of disco cuz i love that movie. some people hate it.
― scott seward, Sunday, 19 February 2012 00:54 (twelve years ago) link
Who doesn't like Last Days of Disco? Oh, I see upthread. I liked the first three fine, resisted Barcelona when it came out, now I'm OK with it.
Don't know where I got the translation thing from, maybe misremembered. What he did do was act in Spanish movies and help sell Spanish movies overseas.

I really love the three other Stillmans, but DAMSELS is seriously one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

― RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Sunday, 19 February 2012 01:30 (twelve years ago) link
it kinda looks weird enough for me to like. even if its bad. but i could see how it could be bad. and there are people who like his other stuff, but don't like this. i still will see it when i can. i have no idea when! i doubt it will play around here. maybe in amherst.

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 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.

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 (twelve years ago) link
you can if that film is 2 Fast 2 Furious.
