I went to a screening for Shut Up Little Man!, a film from Tribeca Films. The documentary explores the phenomenon of viral cassette recordings of two San Francisco aging alcoholics named Peter and Raymond. 

These recordings ended up being released by Matador at the height of its popularity and spread swiftly through the artistic, comic and underground community — all this before the Internet was born and viral videos became the daily norm.

It is fascinating to learn about the history of these recordings, but even more poignant is learning the nature of the relationship between Peter and Raymond. That was truly touching and provocative. 

Go see it at IFC Center when it officially premieres on Sept 16!

Kiki and I hosted an Oscar party at Union Hall last night. Thanks for all y’all who showed up to the packed crowd! I had my doubts about the Oscars when I heard James Franco and Anne Hathaway were hosting it. Isn’t it kinda tacky that one of the hosts is also a nominee (I mean he is HOT so that kinda makes up for it I guess…)? And when did Anne Hathaway get so worthy? Mind boggling. These two young Hollywood types set the casual tone for the evening and it was all flubs and strange momentz from the start, including the 30 Rock-ish intro with Alec Baldwin and everyone’s favorite voice of reason Morgan Freeman (why wasn’t HE hosting?). Here are some of those top weird moments… 1) Kirk Douglas - WHY????? What the hell did he say? 2) Cate Blanchett presenting the award for Best Makeup and saying “That’s gross.” 3) James Franco “What up”-ing NYU — I mean it’s my alma mater, so heeeeey. 4) James Franco calling all the technical category winners “Nerds” — I mean I love calling people nerds, but maybe not on stage at the Oscars…

Hello, Ryan O’Nan. You were the best part of watching The Unusuals (the series as a whole was rather boring). I am a new fan. That is all. Well, maybe not all. Now, I want to see The Dry Land… Trailer below. In theaters in New York!
