Pics of the Day

A few of my favorite things gathered in one neat little convenient spot last night - Aubrey Plaza and Dave Franco, human joke machines, showed up at the storied Rare Book Room of the Strand Bookstore (shelves shelves shelves!) along with their Little Hours director Jeff Baena to read a trio of passages from Giovanni Boccaccio's 1353 opus The Decameron, upon which Baena based his "Nuns Gone Wild" film, which is out in some theaters tomorrow. In case you missed the film's trailer, click here. 

Anyway this was a strange and wonderful thing to witness, a clash of millennial sarcasm and great literature, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world, and so... I didn't, as these photographs make clear. I also posted a video snippet of Aubrey reading on my Instagram right here, and a video snippet of Dave reading on my Instagram right here. You should see The Little Hours -- I'm planning on reviewing the movie in a bit, so stay tuned for that. But first...

... I do just have to share that! I have no idea why Call Me By Your Name leading man Timothée Chalamet was in the audience but he definitely seemed to be there with one of the people on stage because he left with them as they left. But I managed to snap that quick shot of him, and can I just say that he is stunning in person - on film he looks young (which yes I keep getting shit for every time I post about him) and awkward, which is perfect for the role in Call Me By Your Name, but in person... wow. Not a bad angle.
