Movie
premieres always draw an unusual mix of celebrities, but last Sunday preview of
the abridged ÒInside The BubbleÓ may break the mold. The arrival of the Sopranos
super-mobster and amazing E Street Band member Steve Van Zandt started the
evening off with a bang.
Folks
at the New York Television Festival found themselves putting chairs in
the aisles at the first public screening of the "Inside The
Bubble" which is always a good sign.
The
film - which screened for industry members on Thursday - played at
the
Chelsea venue to a packed house of New York political luminaries, as well
as unusually large Washington contingent, in town for the film. But
lurking at the back of the theatre - this notorious New Yorker. Can you name
her?
Yes,
you get 2 points if you guessed Linda Tripp's pal Lucianne Goldberg. Really –
truly an honor.
Among
other well known (and more photogenic) attendees, Attorney General Candidate
and Attorney General Candidate Mark Green, whose son Jonah has a credit
in the movie for additional video.
But
the surprise for both the audience and filmmakers alike was the 6'
8"
Marvin Nicolson, Kerry's Chief Aid, who slipped
in after the lights wen t
down. Marvin is one of the four major
characters in the film, and plays
a major role both in the film and
within the Kerry team.
Later,
hanging out in front of the Milk Studios venue, Little
Steven,
Marvin, and a collection of democratic
staffers, pollsters, and friends
agreed that the film was
accurate (maybe too accurate) - and pretty fair.
And a good time was had
by all.
