-Last night I went to a screening of a film called The Four-Faced Liar that one of the producers on the film I'm working on now produced. It was amazing! Multiple incredi-bilities.
1. The venue was AWESOME! It was outdoors, but with normal seating and everything. There was a mountain-ish thing behind the screen. It was just a perfect ambiance.
2. Spotted many of the filmmakers and actors at the after party. That won't get old soon.
3. Everyone wanted to talk about the movie afterwards. That never ceases to amaze me either! Sometimes, when I'm talking to strangers about what we thought about the writing and the ending and the cinematography, it feels like I'm slapped in the face with how much these are my people.
4. This was probably the best part and continues to be the best part of life in the movie world-- you are constantly watching people's dreams come true. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people lose their words over how happy and incredulous they are. I want to cry with them. The writer and star cried with complete sincerity when she got up in front of the 800-ish crowd to show the movie that she has been working on for years and years and years. Awesome.
-Had to jump start my car. Sometimes I drive up the block from my house and talk to Kevin for...ever in my car. Regularly I talk to him until my phone battery dies (I have free nights and weekends so it's fine). So the other night, my phone dies and then I realize that my car died. But really it was a LUCKY situation because I was only a block from my house. How lame would it have been if I was miles away without a phone or a car!? And the next day, I went to my mechanic (MY mechanic. Awesome.) and he just loaned me his battery and jumper cable, without even keeping my license or name or ANYTHING! And he didn't even charge me. I LOVE my mechanic. I gave him a $5 tip, but now I feel like that was too small... But now I've jump-started a car completely by myself.
-Started True Blood. Love it so far. I particularly LOVE the opening song and sequence. I love all of the music, in fact. Well... I'll just write about it when I'm REALLY in it. So far I've only watched 4 episodes. Also, Kevin and I made a deal that if I start watching True Blood, he'll read all of Harry Potter. Arguably his is both the most taxing and the most rewarding!
-I also had a lovely lunch with my former bosses at Present Pictures. I love them SO MUCH!!
I guess that's all I can think of for now.
