Tribeca by Moonlight: The Reeler Joins Huffington Post's Festival Orgy

The drugs must be really good over at The Huffington Post, where somebody had the batty idea of inviting me to contribute to the blog's daily Tribeca coverage. There are something like 14 or 15 of us on the reporting team, including former FishBowl NY editor Rachel Sklar, who provides an introductory overview here. Expect maybe a little overlap between my HuffPo and Reeler dispatches, but I mostly intend to keep them separate. Mostly.
This morning I have a look at the wonderful Colour Me Kubrick--in particular, New York Times power broker Frank Rich's real-life run-in with Kubrick impersonator Alan Conway and the incident's portrayal in the film. Suffice it to say that actor William Hootkins--best known as Star Wars' doomed X-Wing pilot Jek Porkins--plays Rich. Goddamn, this can be a cruel world.
