Friars Club Comedy Film Festival

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

If you are in New York City this weekend watch out for those slippery banana peels on the pavement, folks in Groucho glasses, or spraying water boutonniere’s - The Friars Club is hosting its inaugural Comedy Film Festival. Tonight kicks off the festivities with the US premiere of the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man.

A Serious Man

Check out the full schedule - lots of fun films to enjoy. I know I’ll be seeing quite a lot this weekend.

Cary Grant

I just took a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood and got hit on by 5 guys. I think someone must have crop dusted the area with pheromones. Unfortunately none of the men were a young Cary Grant.
