Eveningicus Ruintato!
July 21st, 2007 by screenwriterguy
I had Harry Potter tickets for last night, and was really looking forward to seeing film number five. Leading up to the release of a Harry Potter book, it has always been my tradition to re-read the preceding books, or at least the preceding several. This time around I opted to watch all the movies, and then I’ll read #6 and eventually #7 (but only after I finish my Earl spec…) It’s getting harder and harder to avoid Harry Potter headlines. I want to know NOTHING! I just logged out of my personalized google homepage, because every other entertainment news headline seems to want to spoil the ending for me. I guess I’ll spend the next month ignorant of happenings in the world. So be it.
Anyway, the tickets for last night were for the last IMAX screening of the evening. Huge screen, fewer kids. But when we got there, “technical difficulties” meant they had to refund everyone’s money. Sigh. One of the theater workers told us that the film was ruined. Like, I guess it all melted. On the plus side, my housemate and I got our money back plus free tickets to see it again later. And after all, I’m supposed to be writing, anyway.
In other news, things are moving along with the comedy group. Yesterday was the first meeting of the writing staff, and I’m pretty pleased. I spent a long, long time hand-picking a combination of people I thought would resonate together creatively, and it seems like that worked nicely. Any evening that includes comparisons of different Cohen Brothers movies and analysis of U.S. vs. U.K. versions of The Office tells me that I’m in the right room.
So I’m one step closer to global domination. Through comedy. Now I just need a name for the damned thing.
