It's always strange working the red carpet.

You and a bunch of other media types get to ask a few questions about a film you've never seen to a star who has plastered the same smile on his or her face for the past 10-15 minutes.

Yeah, it looks like I'm having a good time in that picture but it's brutal.

Anyway, here's what I came up with while on the red carpet outside the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall for the opening night film — "Robot & Frank" starring Frank Langella — of the Sarasota Film Festival on Friday.
