So far one of the best things has been seeing tons of movies for free, which, considering how much we spend a year on movies, is definitely a perk. Zach is a member of the WGA and as his ‘spousal equivalent’ we can go to their screenings, which are free for members. Most of the movies are in theatres now and sometimes the writers even give a Q&A. Then there are the agency invites, thankfully at least one of us is repped. Unfortunately, it’s not me. Well not in LA…yet.
We’ve seen Your Highness (funnier than I would’ve thought), Insidious (disappointing), and Bang Bang Club thanks to WGA.
Zach also is rubbing shoulders with film fanatic bloggers who get to go to press screenings so he’s been able to see Attack the Block and Tree of Life.
And then some films are worth paying for. After years of hearing about the Arclight, I finally got to check out this amazing theatre for Hanna, to support Vancouver screenwriter, Seth Lochhead.
So far things have been very good. Getting used to driving here. Trying to remember to read and decipher each parking sign and curb color so that I don’t get towed one day.
I also tried the famous In and Out burger – probably not as impressed as meat eaters. Their idea of a veggie burger was lettuce on a bun. Considering the place had a (car) line up around the block and more than full inside, I was hoping my fries would be at least somewhat warm.
I need to get in gear and write more but it’s hard when it’s so sunny and I just want to run outside! But I’m so inspired by so many things around me. I’ll get too it soon!
