Jesus! Despite hermetic sealings on the doors, vents, windows and floorboards around Reeler HQ, whatever nasty cold bug is going around NYC snuck in and bit me square in the ass. My attempts at coherent blogging have failed thus far, and it feels as though Harvey Weinstein himself shook my head like a piggy bank.

So please come back tomorrow for our "Wednesday" Centerpiece conversation with Protocols of Zion filmmaker Marc Levin, a closer look at Thursday's Young Friends of Film event (featuring Aki Kaurismaki's Ariel) at Lincoln Center and whatever sweet lunch deals pop up in the next 24 hours. Thanks for understanding.

Now, if you will kindly excuse me, I have another raw-throated series of coughs to attend to.
