The New Modern Woman, Ambitious and Feeble

Everything wrong with “Grey’s Anatomy” and its soon-to-be spun spinoff is the fault of “Ally McBeal.”
FILM
Gray Matters
Attention, Spalding Gray and Steven Soderbergh fans: the filmmaker will answer questions after a special screening tonight of the late monologist’s “Gray’s Anatomy,” which he directed. Writing in 1997, Janet Maslin called the film, in which Gray deals with an eye ailment, “one more funny, self-dramatizing look at the eccentric world around him.” Gray’s widow, Kathleen Russo, will also be on hand, along with members of the cast of “Stories Left to Tell,” the theatrical retrospective of his monologues, to discuss how she’s keeping that eccentric viewpoint alive.7:30 p.m., IFC Center, 323 Avenue of the Americas (West Third Street), (212) 924-7771; $15.
