Last night, “The Last International Playboy” premiered at AMC Empire 25, followed by a Bordello after party at Hudson Terrace. The independent film featured many a scantily clad model enabling a love-sick playboy author’s depression as he mopes, drinks and parties away evening after lost evening in NYC. These long-legged beauties also graced the glamorous red carpet. A sparkling Lydia Hearst (sans bicycle) led the pack, her recent city bus movie tease ads having finally given our lazy, taxi-loving selves a reason to embrace public transportation. More»

[Sean Baker Filming]

Sean Baker’s latest movie, Prince of Broadway has been hitting up all the film festivals. It was just at Locarno this summer and more recently at Woodstock where it was well-received. Talking with this independent filmmaker was quite an experience. I learned about his work, of course, but also things about the “old New York” that I didn’t know. For example when the topic of speakeasy bars came up, PDT (Please Don’t Tell) was mentioned. Apparently $20 drinks were not the first thing that Crif Dogs has kept a ’secret’.

“You know Crif Dogs? That place used to be a pot shop. You used to go in and they’d have these..it was so obvious, it was so incredibly obvious. They had like a Jamaican flag… and all you’d do is just like… and what are they selling I mean there was like a poster on the wall and like a couple of CDs it was so obvious that it was a front for weed and then everyone would just go in the back [what is probably now PDT] and get the weed. It’s always been a hot spot for some reason.”

Sean shares his thoughts on his last film, “Take Out”, a story based around a Chinese delivery man, how he came to NYC “right at the end.”, why Angelenos all look the same, and his 3am karaoke nights in Flushing.

Thompson, a.k.a Raoul Duke, was a Wild Turkey-guzzling, crazy man who created Gonzo journalism and forever changed the how the press wrote. (For those of you who don’t know who Hunter S. Thompson is, he’s the guy who wrote Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas)
