“The cha cha is no more ridiculous than life itself.” 

Last few evenings I’ve been revisiting the first 3 #films of #whitstillman . Barcelona is my favorite, but I adore how Last Days of Disco tears into #advertising – like just relentlessly! All of his films are absolutely hilarious & so sharply written. With so many platforms, how is Stillman not making content for someone? #film #movies #script #dialogue #nyc #lastdaysofdisco (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRjkkGthG1m/?utm_medium=tumblr

My one and only piece of movie memorabilia. Greta Gerwig‘s jacket from “Damsels in Distress.” It now hangs on my bookshelf. #moviememorabilia #gretagerwig #whitstillman #damselsindistress https://www.instagram.com/p/COlPvxSBm2V/?igshid=jlej5py8se97

There's certain key dance crazes that are just so much fun - wouldn't that be a great thing to do, to invent a dance? —Whit Stillman

“there’s a Westsider amongst us” —Nick Smith on Tom Townsend in #WhitStillman’s #Metropolitan (1990). I feel the #NewYork I’m living is decidedly stuck somewhere in the past. It’s part #MollyDodd, part Metropolitan, & part early #Seinfeld, so we’re talking ‘87-‘92 on the #upperwestside, but not really. There still are a ton of old businesses, including hardware stores where gruff clerks go, “whaddya need?” I love going to restaurants where I’m the youngest person there & everyone seems like a regular. I love the fact that #CentralPark is to the east & #RiversidePark is to the west. The MTA knew way back when, red trains 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ for communists ☭ & green trains 4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣ for money💰, which explains my lot in life all too well. 😂 . . Song on @Spotify #playlist #spotifyplaylist @kingprincess69 #linkinbio Link in bio. . . “You're so rich, bet you bought yourself a diamond chain To look real cool while you're telling all your friends it's fake But you know it's lies Another bitch from the Upper West Side Credit cards cutting all of your lines, yeah You're so cute bet you really wanna be a star To feel like gold when you're dancing on broken hearts And you know it's true You're no good 'til they're looking at you Bad front, I can see right through, yeah I can't stop judging every thing you do But I can't get enough of you Oooooh, oh-ooh Oooooh, oh-ooh Oooooh, oh-ooh Oooooh, oh-ooh I sleep great knowing we will never be the same 'Cause I'm downtown hanging out while you're in pain And I'm doing fine Even though you're still on my mind Train rides to the Upper West Side, yeah I can't stop judging every thing you do But I can't get enough of you Oooooh, oh-ooh Oooooh, oh-ooh Oooooh, oh-ooh Oooooh, oh-ooh I can't stop I can't get enough of you, yeah I can't stop judging every thing you do But I can't get enough of you Oooooh, oh-ooh Oooooh, oh-ooh Oooooh, oh-ooh Oooooh, oh-ooh” . . #manhattan #manhattannyc #manhattannewyork #ny #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #newyorknewyork #newyork_instagram #uws #upperwestsidenyc #uwsnyc #west86thstreet #lofi #lofifilter (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWNYUql8Lu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lnm0refi5a6n

Whit Stillman på Filmhuset. The Last Days of Disco + samtal + förhandsvisning av nya serien Cosmopolitans. På Prime snart förhoppningsvis. Stillmans filmer fortfarande underbara, vassa, lätta, cyniska, roliga, varma, vackra.
