Sony Classics Will Release Whit Stillman’s Latest →
Isn’t Adam Brody a little ethnic to show up in a Whit Stillman movie?, but the Greta Gerwig I think is probably some inspired Chloe Sevigny shit. Mostly I guess I’m a little depressed that we’ve all gotten so old that Whit Stillman can’t plausibly cast Chris Eigeman and Taylor Nichols anymore (but I expect cameos!).
Also, on the subject, still don’t want to be...

The absolute best possible thing the Gossip Girl writers could have done with the three most irritating, unlikable characters they themselves created (all poors, of course) is have them join forces, become (or stay) evil, and form some kind of weird misfit avenger league. Well fucking done, Gossip Girl writers. And that they did it on Skype is just the cherry. This show is such a clusterfuck of...

The current mayor of her local coffee shop and the young woman we’ve selected to represent young people everywhere, Jen Galanos, 26, has so far earned a free cappuccino and two hours of Wi-Fi. But while she likes the rewards, she said they’re only a fringe benefit of an application that, as we suspected, The New York Times has already creamed its jeans and tripped all over itself in...

“For the past three seasons, Bob Nastanovich of Des Moines was one of the track’s most visible and active racing workers. He charted races for Equibase, meaning he was the person who estimated the distance between horses at each quarter-mile. He wrote for the Daily Racing Form, made picks for one of Prairie Meadows’ tip sheets, and worked in the racing office. “But...

T: Yeah, but if I was a chicken wing or a cheese fry you'd find that endearing.

WatchNot to be like that, but also totally to be like that, I read this book like a thousand times when I was 12-13 and this is not what I was looking for in a movie. Mostly because Nick spends about a third of the novel living life as a woman, in the style of Mrs. Featherbottom.

WatchI relate to that, Noah Baumbach. (Ben Stiller still isn’t going to happen in drama though, except in The Royal Tenenbaums. Quit twitching, dude.)

What really strikes you is how much shit they put down their pants in eight and a half hours of television: cocktails, bacon, Michael Ian Black.
WatchWe’re doing a thing.
Showalter: Yeah. I’m amazed that there’s anyone without the DVD, now. Like who’s left, to get a bootleg version of “The State,” would be my question? It’s been 20 years.
Black: I would agree, there’s probably very little that’s of decent quality out there. Anything that anybody would have would be copied off of VHS tapes, and it’s probably hard to get.
Back maybe in 1998 or so, Caitlin's boyfriend Gabe got a VHS of all of The State off of eBay. I think it was Kay who had two VCRs, so she made copies, and the first one we had was terrible, so the rest were almost unwatchable, but we watched them. I don't know, maybe I'm getting all the characters wrong. Anyway, when I think "college," like "What was my experience at college like?" I think of a little dorm room and a little bong and vending machine pies and The State rolling up a 13" TV screen. It sounds depressing, and it was, I was very depressed, but still I'm nostalgic for it.

I was completely embarrassed when I pulled out my copy of Oblivion right now to find that “Incarnations of Burned Children” was published in that volume and I’d just completely forgotten about it.
