YUS !
Into it.
A gay man was gunned down in Greenwich Village early today by an armed bigot who hurled homophobic slurs at him — and claimed to be the Newtown, Conn. killer before the murder, police said today.
The 32-year-old Brooklyn victim, whose name has not been released, was walking with a pal on Sixth Avenue near West Eighth Street about midnight when they were approached by three Hispanic males, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said.
One man snarled homophobic slurs at the men and asked them if they were “gay wrestlers,” Kelly said.
The men continued moving and made a right onto West Eighth Street.
One of the Hispanic men left and the other two continued to follow the victim and another man.
Both the victim and another man with him were wearing tank tops, cutoff shorts and boots.
“Do you want to die here?” the shooter asked the victim.
He pulled out a .38-caliber revolver and shot him once in the cheek.
“It was a quickie. He shot him and he went straight to the ground,” said a bouncer at a nearby club. “Half his body was lying on the sidewalk and half was on the street.”
The man died shortly after at Beth Israel Hospital.
I am incredibly saddened by this story. This is the fourth hate crime committed against a gay man this month, the second just steps from Stonewall. There will be a candlelight vigil tonight in front of the Gray’s Papaya on 6th Ave and 8th St where the shooting took place. Please come if you can; reblog this even if you can’t make it. We should refuse to live in a place where we can’t walk down the street without being afraid of this happening to us. It’s disgusting and unbelievable.
I love NY but this is really intolerable and sad.

Jezebel’s article on FRANCES HA
I really admire Greta Gertwig. She’s so pretty and smart and fun to watch. I would see anything she is in. Yes, especially Arthur. She’s a modern day Liza!
But!!! Am I gonna like this movie? Francs Ha, after watching the trailer -– I was like “boy, have I seen this done before”! Where’s “Woody?, Why is this in black and white?
I’m almost feeling gypped. I won’t speak until I see it, even thought I missed a free screening already.Check out this article. Empowering? Or Disappointing?

I totally understand about wanting to write with someone. It makes you feel like you are not alone in the world and someone else wants to help make your vision. Especially, when it is someone who is already an acclaimed writer and director. And if they are your boyfriend….I guess it’s extra supportive. It would be cool if you could do it on your own.
Plus… When did I miss the memo - Greta and Noah are now dating? that’s funny, I mean you two are indie gods. I guess it doesn’t matter that he’s about 20 years older than you and still technically married to Jennifer Jason Leigh.
I liked that Baumbach cast her in - Greenberg and wrote this with her. But I thought it was just because he thought she was cool. Not because they were shaggin’
Maybe it’s both!
Dreaming of bridges
I dreamt about crossing the Queens Boro Bridge accidentally driving. I never personally did it driving but the bridge see so big and I couldn’t see the other end. It was foggy with clouds.
In my dream, I was supposed to go to an apartment on the east side - I didn’t even know what street I was on. The grid system seemed off. And then the bridge appeared. Which I know that means 59th street. I was hoping to turn up 1st Avenue - but I couldn’t. I had to get on the bridge. I remember that my mother warn me about this. Some streets you have to enter the bridge. But it felt more like I was sucked in!
I looked up the interpretation. -
Bridge
To dream that you are crossing a bridge indicates that you have reached a significant crossroad. The choice you make can bring you great fortune, success, and happiness.
