Night on the Town
Humpday director Lynn Shelton (r.), star Josh Leonard at Humpday screening after-party at at Fontana’s (105 Eldridge St). The open-air screening happened at the Open Road Rooftop, 350 Grand Street at Essex.
I love how the mustard shelves enhance the salmon-red DVD jackets and vice versa. And how Kims puts gay-themed Warhol/Morrissey/Dallessandro movies from the late ’60s and early ’70s right next to the kiddie/family section.
Seriously, the finger? I hate when people do that when it’s unnecessary … unless of course you were interrupting. Still, he’ll appear to be an asshole from this day forward.

What are you talking about? There’s nothing more inclusive or friendlier than when somebody you don’t know all that well affectionately tells you to go fuck yourself or gives you the finger. Josh was basically saying “I like you enough and believe that you’re cool enough to give you the friendly finger and not have you take it the wrong way.” It’s an expression of affection and trust.
During a press conference in Cannes I once said to George Clooney that I felt more serious juice from his villain character in From Dusk to Dawn than the nice-guy characters he began to play after that, and he thought about my question for six or seven seconds and then said “fuck you.” Whatever else he was implying, Clooney was first and foremost saying he trusted me enough to say that. He was basically saying “you’re cool enough.”
The ultimate conversational putdown is to speak to someone guardedly with pre-packaged thoughts and sentiments — i.e., to keep them out by going all formal and synthetic. If you’re really close to someone you can tell them “fuck you” in a friendly way, but if you tell that to someone you’re not friendly with you’re saying that you’ve decided early on that they’re all right as far as it goes.
That’s true Jeff, but the finger-to-the-camera gesture has been so hopelessly co-opted by douchebags that its use should be discouraged among decent folk everywhere.
It shows a lack of imagination. Either that, or it’s an honest “How many f’in’ pictures of me do you need to take this week?” gesture.
Mustard shelves? Those are mango shelves!
One of my 10-year-old nieces won’t appear in a photo without making those ridiculous V-shape gangsta rapper gang signs that were old and out of date before she was born. Yes, she is white.
It could also mean someone simply doesn’t like to mince words, and is telling you to get lost. The Clooney thing could also be taken as “who are you? Shut up,” as he’s certainly someone with the confidence/ego to be so blunt and dismissive
Man, I wish I could be the type of guy who thinks that someone who gives me the finger thinks I’m a really cool guy. “Yeah, see that guy over there, he thinks I’m really cool; that woman over there, she thinks I’m a really good driver.” To me, the finger usually means “fuck off,” and if you have a problem with that I’m ready to throw down.
McCool and DrBob just don’t get it.
Just sayin there is another take on it…clooney could have said fuck you cause he thought all of the other people were cool enough to let him get away with it. Think back to high school and you’ll get what I mean…
Obviously wasn’t there…. If he smiled afterwards then you’re right…
Btw, at food inc tonight (ritz at the bourse in Philly… one of several decent theaters for when you’re visiting Jett), mostly empty theater, guy sits down in front of me, leaning in my lap. thought of you, of course…he kept getting annoyed when his chair would hit my foot…situation was resolved civilly when he moved a seat after I suggested there are plenty of seats open without feet to lean back on. Not so hard
dangovich,
True. It’s the international sign of douchebaggery.
The real question: Why does that Lonesome Cowboys DVD cover look so much like Hudson Hawk?
If you’re going to go through life being Jeff Wells and survive, you’ve got to go convince yourself that when people tell you to fuck off it means they like you.
If Warhol could have made a film as good as HUDSON HAWK that would have been awesome.
