In Duncan Jones' directing debut Moon, Sam Rockwell is a hard-working moon miner about to finish up his contract working for the government. His only companions are tapes from home and a talking computer, GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey in an eerie HAL-like voice). Sam whiles his time away sending videos back to his wife and child on Earth and building elaborate matchstick buildings when he's not retrieving precious resources from the moon for the folks back home. His tour of duty is so close to ending, he can taste it -- but of course, that's when things start going awry. It's hard to discuss Moon without giving away surprises. So beware -- Spoilers Ahead! -- as we talk with Rockwell and Jones about their trippy, old-school science-fiction flick. We get down to brass tacks about video games, futurism, Sam's refusal to get a computer, therapy, Twittering, and many other topics besides Duncan Jones' dad (who is David Bowie, fine, so let's move on).

Twenty-nine-year-old Michael Sinensky and the ageless Sean McGarr juggle the ownership of SideBar, Vintage Irving, The Big Easy, Hudson Terrace, and the Village Pourhouse, along with Michael's personal projects: corporate event management, "disco sushi," and the NewYearsEve.com. The much-anticipated opening of Hudson Terrace is slated for May 5, so the hospitality and nightlife pros gave us a glimpse at the new joint and the forces behind the machine.
