In Gregory and Shawn's closet video (here) Gregory mentions that in Vanya on 42nd Street there's a scene that he always leaves to go to the bathroom during because he wishes it was done differently. Anyone know which scene he could be talking about?

My Dinner is one of my favorites, certainly my favorite in the box set. I asked a friend about the location of the restaurant here in the city. Thought I'd throw on a tie and meet him for a drink there. "You know that's a set, don't you?", he replied, laughing. Felt like an oaf. Also a little sad. That New York is not only gone but never was! Not necessarily the run down, wild, anything-is-possible street vibe but the spirit of a city where a conversation like the one between Shawn and Gregory would be, not only likely, but probable. Ebert nails the germ of the film's attraction.

A rather involved spoof of My Dinner with Andre crossed with the Simpsons Steamed Hams sketch. Surprisingly well done for a low-budget YouTube lark.

That channel has a lot of high quality steamed hams parodies. It’s fabulous.
