Birds and buns in Bryant Park.
Went with a friend to see Hitchcock’s The Birds in Bryant Park last night. Such a great movie (despite some of its now dated silliness), and such a nice environment to watch it in. It was especially perfect when, during the scene of the big attack on the town, the wind picked up and leaves began to blow off the surrounding trees and flap down into the crowd. Thanks Mother Nature! See, even she loves Hitchcock. Not to mention that while the skies remained threatening all night, and a few errant raindrops did make themselves known at various points of the evening, the weather ultimately held and a good time was had by all.
The highlight of the night, however, was the constant parade of buttcracks on display all around us. Such a wide variety of shapes and sizes! I can’t say for sure, but given his predilection for smokin’ femmes fatales, I would bet that Alfred Hitchcock appreciated a nice buttcrack every now and then. So in his honor, I snapped a few pictures of some of the finest examples most prominently displayed in our immediate vicinity. Please note that these photos have been deliberately closely cropped, to protect the identities of the bootylicious.
And so without further ado, I present to you last night’s Bryant Park Parade of Bunnage:
And the piece de la resistance:
And as a special postscript, here’s an example of that most elusive of species: the male buttcrack. Here’s proof that, despite widely held beliefs, this phenomenon is not solely relegated to plumbers and Big Lebowski types. Enjoy, ladies!
haha that’s great! wish i’d gone to see that movie. the others are a bit blah. i’ll be sure to post a follow up butt-cracks under the brooklyn bridge when that film series picks up.
Glad they’re still doing this. I still remember watching Casablanca with friends in 1995. Does anybody remember what year the films started? It couldn’t have been too much before that.
hilarious
The films started showing just a year after the entire park was complete in renovation. That was 1993. I cannot remember the first film though. Although if you go to HBO’s website/events that may help you out.
