Update: A Warner Bros. rep might be able to slip me into the 5:30 screening and definitely the 9 pm screening if it comes to that, he says. So I’m good…late but good. Earlier: I completely forgot about the 10 am New York Film Festival press screening of Paul Thomas Anderson‘s Inherent Vice. There’s a public screening at 5:30 pm and 9 pm…my only shot. Brilliant! No tweets or reviews until 9 pm eastern — I promised to adhere to this request yesterday. I guess I will one way or the other.
