"Trainwreck" on Sutton Place

My friend Rick loaned me a bunch of DVD Academy Awards screeners last week. He's a director in the DGA. I watched "Trainwreck" last night, the comedy with Amy Schumer and John Hader. It's a mixed bag of laughs and pathos. But there was one scene in a 'happy montage' that stood out, a shot that purposely mimics the famous scene in Woody Allen's "Manhattan" of Diane Keaton and Allen sitting on a Sutton Place bench overlooking the 59th Street Bridge. Schumer and Hader are falling in love and this moment is meant to show their flowering romance, but with a raunchy twist. As they're sitting there in the lovely twilight glow she proceeds to lean over and give him a blow job! Touch pearls! It made me laugh out loud. So another Hollywood film immortalizes our picturesque nabe.
