Hoffman Driving 'Capote' Steamroller to the Upper East Side
FLASH! Paper alerts readers to Philip Seymour Hoffman's latest Oscar campaign stop New York awards-week appearance tonight at the 92nd St. Y, where the trophy-circuit butterfly will be discussing both his character and his work following a screening of Capote. Added bonus for literary wonks to whom allusion is the ultimate aphrodisiac:
(G)et this fated freakiness: Kauffman Concert Hall is also where Truman Capote did his first public reading of In Cold Blood. Whaaaa? And, Capote depicts that very reading. Whaaaa whaaa? Okay, maybe it’s not that huge of a coincidence. No, wait. Yes it is. We’re not backing down on this one. Our minds our blown.
Mine too--so much so that I cannot even muster the strength to carry my weary body six blocks from Reeler HQ to the front door of the Y. Or maybe that is just my Kryptonite-like, withering Heath Ledger/Damian Lewis/Cillian Murphy loyalty. Anyway, I am more than happy to run a recap tomorrow from any lucky ticketholders who make the trip; I am all about equal opportunity as long as I do not have to endure Capote a second time.
