"Part Woody Allen, Dead Pan Hilarity"....*glares just a little* I will watch it (when it's on Netflix) but man that trailer did not land with me.

Greta Gerwig to me is what Emma Stone is to Rorie :)

Couldn't watch the whole trailer. Don't like the tone of her voice and the words coming from her whorish mouth!

O_o Ooookayyy sexist much? You don't have to like the trailer but geesh...

@galacticChicken: It was a joke buddy. She felt seriously pompous, hence the use of the word "whorish". A whore doesn't flaunt dignity...

galacticChickenon Feb. 22, 2012 at 3:29 p.m.

your words make no sense. Calling a woman a whore is very sexist and discriminating, if you'd simply called her pompous that would be a whole other thing, and you'd have gotten your point across much more sufficiently. But I don't think Screened is a place for internet-fighting so lets just agree to disagree.

@galacticChicken: A joke is not to be taken seriously. "Don't like her tone" - She has no tone, more accurately she is monotone; hence the joke. Her being pompous, pretentious, and snobbish directly contrasts my comment of her having a "whorish mouth"; making it rigid sarcasm. Whether it was sexist or not doesn't matter because it was a joke. If you aren't getting the joke, that's fine and you can take it as you will. Either way, if you read all comments on the internet as serious, you are building a giant, cynical and relentless monster that you have to face daily. I will agree to disagree, but I won't stop making crude jokes on the internet.

I fucking love Whit Stillman. Metropolitan and Last Days of Disco are two of my absolute favorite 90s films. Can't wait for this one.

The English accent is terrible ...

but it looks like it could be some quirky, awkward fun.

@mbk337: I wish that negro in the film would keep her mouth shut and pick some cotton!! I know that sounds racist, but don't worry, I'm joking, so therefore it's automatically not racist!!

mbkishon Feb. 22, 2012 at 5:40 p.m.

@kuddles: Except your statements have no direct correlation to the film, trailer, or actor... good luck with that.

UncleBennyon Feb. 22, 2012 at 6:24 p.m.

holy shit, this actually looks kind of cute.

cadkon Feb. 22, 2012 at 10:16 p.m.

Metropolitan (Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay), Barcelona, and The Last Days of Disco are simply sublime. Dear God, where have you been hiding Stillman!

It's like they took that one episode of Happy Endings about improving your guy and stretched it to feature length.

Aetheldodon Feb. 23, 2012 at 11:10 a.m.

Ughhh .... what an awful premise , wont see me coming near this any time soon

spilledmilkfactoryon Feb. 23, 2012 at 4:32 p.m.

Hey, it's that lady who was the only not horrible thing about Arthur!

Yep. Sums it up nicely. I am so glad my girlfriend doesn't like this kind of junk. I would hate to sit through that.
