STAY UP LATE: Rent Midnight in Paris (2011). Owen Wilson stars in the screenplay originally titled “The Lost Generation” about a writer seeking inspiration in Paris and only finding it by traveling back in time. It is an adaptation of a Woody Allen standup skit from the 1960s where he recalls anecdotes from 1920s Paris and ends each with the punchline “...and Hemingway punched me in the mouth.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso, T.S. Eliot, and Cole Porter make appearances. But no one gets pummeled by Papa.
