sometime in her senior year, she started feeling depressed. now, part of it was finally becoming disillusioned with horses. but there were some real psychological problems too.

Eigeman can do no wrong in this movie, but his delivery of this line just flattens everything else.

He's a considerate and selfish man. The rest is just a superficial game, a facade -- which you've obviously been taken in by.

soto, morbs: new one opens here friday - i'm damn near camping out, catching the first show at five whatever. do i need to temper my expectations? is it a mess? does he still have the 'eye of the tiger'?

I haven't watched it yet -- tomorrow night mehopes

i am not soto or morbs but the new one is very funny and kind of diffuse. gerwig is tremendous. it feels unfinished. not as good as metropolitan, for sure.

haha sorry. could have used some eigeman, but what couldn't?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 3 May 2012 02:37 (eleven years ago) link
jk
vaguely related since gerwig (who i do love) is in this and the ten minutes of kicking and screaming i could bear back in nineteen ninety whatever struck me as a very poor attempt at whit stillman: i did LOVE greenberg. shit HIT HOME. the scene w/ the kids and he's making them listen to 'the chauffeur'? HIT HOME. should i give his (baumbach, not ben stiller) earlier movies a shot (or 'screening')? ppl still talk about the squid and the whale and i thought for sure that would be a movie ppl would forget about after a year and then years later you'd think 'ha, remember when ppl thought this was a good movie?'
― balls, Thursday, 3 May 2012 02:40 (eleven years ago) link
related: little worried i might be too old now to enjoy a whit stillman movie about foolish young ppl. apparently not too old for the avengers though. cinema is dead.
― balls, Thursday, 3 May 2012 02:42 (eleven years ago) link
i used to group baumbach and stillman in my mind back when baumbach had only done kicking and screaming and that slighter party one--highball? kicking and screaming is classic imo. i guess in a sense squid and the whale is better, but it's not the one i've seen 95 times. i couldn't deal with margot at the wedding. i have some kind of avoidance issue with greenberg, but i guess i should just watch it.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 3 May 2012 02:44 (eleven years ago) link
i think the critical line on baumbach is that his early movies were slick but squid and the whale is where he matured or grew a soul or something. i prefer kicking and screaming, further evidence of arrested development, i guess.

K&S isn't bad but the dialogue isn't sparkly enough for those actors. Sluggish pace too.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 3 May 2012 02:48 (eleven years ago) link
Baumbach gets points for Carlos Jacott, a Whit Stillman actor who never appeared in a Whit Stillman movie.

Come to think of it Carlos Jacott is something of a Whedon regular as well...
kicking and screaming is nonstop sparkling dialogue!

Cannot remember a thing about LDD, beyond liking it at one time. Maybe worth a revisit?

His worst, although I've got friends who can quote reams of its crappy dialogue. It's the only time his low budgets cramped his aesthetic (the discos look like high school cafeterias).

prefer Barcelona (the only one I've seen in the THEE-ah-ter).
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 3 May 2012 03:04 (eleven years ago) link
Like Barcelona alot, largely because, despite the fact that someone is shot and there are explosions, it has only the vaguest notion of a plot, just Eigeman and Taylor hanging out 80% of the time. At least that's how I remember it.

barcelona is kind of boring and gross. chris eigeman is beautiful, though.
