I had such a weird retail day that Visa ended up calling me – as I was arriving at a movie theater – to make sure that my card had not been stolen. It’s not that I spent that much money, it’s just that my day involved a failed RSSP attempt, a visit to a spa and a trip to an electronics store (all charged on Visa). On top of this, it’s Friday the 13th so I guess all the red flags went up at Visa.
I saw a great movie which you should not miss: The Cooler. It’s exactly the kind of film I love to watch and the kind I’d like to write: small on scale, big on characters, great quirky story. Oh, and the few sex scenes are very true to life, which is something you don’t get to see much in American movies. William H. Macy is the best, Bello was excellent and Baldwin was great – and I’m not just saying that because I was sitting next to his long lost twin brother. Man, it’s freaky how Blork can look like him at certain angles (no, it’s not just the love talking).
One of the screenwriters of The Cooler has started a Web site, which still seems to be under construction. I hope this is a trend that’s going to last because it’s great to have access to working screenwriters’ material and experiences.
Only 50 more days until daylight saving time. Hang in there.
