A Midsummer Night's Screening
Hartnett, Sarandon, and More Catch a Sneak Peek of August
"I don't go on the computer," admitted Susan Sarandon at last night's Cinema Society screening of August, Austin Chick's drama about a downward-spiraling dot-com prince. Despite the film's techy topic, Sarandon's Luddite behavior (OK, near-Luddite—she texts her kids) wasn't the exception among the crowd at the Tribeca Grand screening room. The film's leading man, Josh Hartnett, who at 29 ought to be on the wired side of the generational IT gap, said that he only responds to e-mails when he feels like it. "I knew what to do up until about the beginning of the DVD age," he said. Thankfully [ed. note: for us] that wasn't the case with all the attendees. At the Soho Grand after-party, art director Julia Restoin-Roitfeld said she spends her days surfing the Web for images, which often leads elsewhere. "I shop online too much," she confessed. "Vintage furniture on eBay, Topshop.com." See what you're missing out on, Susan?
