Anyway, seen: four movies in the Rendez-vous With French Cinema series (as always, held at Film at Lincoln Center; this used to be an annual event with the French Film Office and MoMA, but at some point it was turned over to Lincoln Center). The movies were: REVOIR PARIS, LES ENFANTS DES AUTRES, L'INNOCENT and LE GRAND CHARIOT. Felt a little estranged going to the press screenings. There are a lot of people my age or older at these screenings, and i don't know most of these people. I wonder what outlets they write for, and how long they've been at this. Saw people i knew, but always feel awkward about talking to people. But did say hello to Ben Keningsberg, who writes for the New York Times. 

Have been consumed with the memorial for Larry which is happening tomorrow. As usual, there are some hitches. One such hitch: i sent an invite to someone who is more a casual acquaintance, not someone who is a real friend, but a recent post appeared on my Facebook feed, so i sent him an invite to the memorial. But then he posted it on his Facebook page! I was furious: Barry and i had decided last week that we weren't posting on Facebook, because we'd pretty much run our limit in terms of how many people we knew would be showing up. So i told the guy to please remove the posting. Actually, i was rather insistent! And so now he's blocked me on FB. Which is fine, but people are so crazy. I sent him an invitation, but that was for him, not for him to issue a blanket invite for others. 

People no longer seem to know what is appropriate. 

A little worried, but i hope things will go ok. I miss Larry.
