Jenni Olson and the Cinemaniacs.

You remember Cinemania. So Jenni Olson's looking over the DVD and: "I realize that the woman on the cover is the woman who harassed me Saturday night at the Museum of Modern Art premiere of my film, The Joy of Life!" So begins a truly terrific entry; Q's and A's are exchanged, and then:

If only I had known I was being provoked by sublebrities!... I would have been flattered, rather than annoyed, by their presence. As Museum of the Modern Image curator David Schwartz points out in Cinemania: "There are some film buffs, like Roberta... where if I see them in the audience I feel really proud 'cause I know that they think that what we're showing is the best thing available today in the city. So, it's like the stamp of approval."

I hereby want to publicly thank Roberta and Bill for coming to my screening.

And there's still time for all you other cranky New Yorkers to come see my movie: Catch it this coming Thursday night, Nov 16th at 6pm at MoMa, and Monday November 20th at the IFC Film Center.
