So tuesday I wasn't working and just hung out around the apartment. I watched Knocked Up. Katherine Heigl sure was beuatiful and Seth Rogen's character is such a slob. Of course it's a movie and of course he has to redeem himself, but it's such a typical movie plot. Sort of in the way I dislike Big Daddy, but of course this is a much better movie. Overall it's pretty, eh. ***.
Wednesday was a tux call for a fancy wedding on Ugly Betty. It was at the First Congregational Church which isn't too far from my apartment so I was able to walk. I got released at 8:30, but it turns out some people were there until 3 a.m. I wish I had stayed that would have been a nice check. The advantage though was that I got home with enough time to watch The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. What a weird little film. It's certainly interesting to see Guy Pearce in a frock. There's definitely something about it that just draws you in and makes it work. As shallow and vein as they are it's just charming. ***.
Thursday morning my call got pushed until 12:30 so in the morning I watched The Lake House. The concept far outdoes the actual film. I just wish they'd cleaned up their time travel loops and everything especially the ending. He should have died, you can't change the past. That's not how movies work though. Just like I hated how they'd have conversations in voiceover that was supposed to be their letters. I honestly just didn't believe they were in love. Now I want to see the Korean original just to see if they ended it the way it should have ended. **.
Then I went to fake Republican fundraiser at Sony for Cavemen. We were there until 3 a.m.
Yesterday my call wasn't until 5 p.m. at CBS Radford for this new show Samantha Who?. When I first heard the name I thought it was a show about an Asian teen detective. But it's not, it's a show that has a Shark Jump as it's premise. But anyway since it was a later call I had time for a movie before going in. I watched Stranger Than Paradise. It seems that it's Jim Jarmusch's first feature and it's a great start. Nothing happens but it keeps your interest and that's hard. It probably helps that Eva is adorable. Jarmusch is kind of hit or miss, but this one is a hit. ***.
So anyway it's been fun to be doing background work again. The only problem I'm having is all the cute girls I've met and talked to seem to have boyfriends, but it does give me hope.
Now it's the weekend and I have to come up with things to do. Monday I'm on Brothers and Sisters.
