New York, April 26-29, 2007 – The Tribeca Film Festival is in full swing with a nonstop roster of premieres, parties, panel discussions and press conferences. It’s hard to keep all of it straight, and how Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal and their minions organize it all is beyond us. Often, events are concurrent, and you just have to choose one over the other.

Take Thursday night – it was between the premiere of Gardener of Eden, directed by Kevin Connolly and Chavez, directed by Diego Luna. So we hit the Gardener premiere, where Leonardo DiCaprio sprinted past the journos gathered on the red carpet faster than a speeding bullet. Later, at the Chavez after party, the charming Luna told us about his almost-derailed screening: “At the beginning, the speakers were not working at the theater; they were not turned on, so we stopped after four minutes", Luna said. "And they didn’t want it to go to the beginning again. And I said, ‘You have to! You have to!’ So we had to wait to reset everything. And everyone stayed. Everyone stayed at the Q&A. It’s, um, it’s a f--ing dream, man. You have no idea. It’s perfect.” It was dreamy when Luna and sexy Y Tu Mama costar Gael Garcia Bernal began dancing…

On Friday, at the premiere of the poker mockumentary The Grand, Woody Harrelson, in his trademark slow drawl, recalled one losing night in Vegas years ago when he didn't have enough cash left to bail his car out of the parking lot.

On Saturday, at the screening of You Kill Me, Tea Leoni said that the funniest person she knows is her husband, the spectacularly unfunny David Duchovny. “It’s been a secret in the past”, Tea admitted. Later in the evening, eyes glazed over as Tom Arnold babbled on and on at the premiere of The Final Season. The baseball epic is part of the Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival.

Sunday, we hit up a panel discussion on women in comedy, where Debra Messing made everyone laugh when she said, “I feel like a pomegranate on a panel of blueberries”, being the only comedic actress among fellow panelists Rachel Dratch, Susie Essman, Samantha Bee and Rachael Harris, who all write and do standup comedy.

At a screening of Day Zero, a film about young men facing the military draft, Elijah Wood said that New Zealand would be his country of choice for draft dodging. A true hobbit.
