I finally have a night off and there’s nothing else I’d rather do! I’m a film junkie :) Sincerely, Over-worked Reply Scott Briggs October 8th, 2015 That’s NYC for you. When I was working in Manhattan FT or even in Queens later, I had little time or energy for tons of post-work film events, although sometimes I’d manage it, or concerts, even worse, since you know you’ll be up all night anyway. I just screened Five Corners last night, hadn’t seen it in years, it’s a good film, disturbing, not really great, but solid. I used to live in Astoria but strangely never spent time at the park in those days. Too busy eating bagels on Ditmars. Blvd. and sleeping! Or trapped on the N train. Etc. etc. Looks like I missed this contest, ah well. Reply Justin October 5th, 2015 really pumped to see it Reply Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
