Coming Soon to a Theater Near You

Well, actually, probably not all that soon since this week it is being filmed in my work neighborhood - Salt. Starring Angelina Jolie and Liev Schreiber, the film synopsis from IMDB:

When CIA officer Evelyn Salt is outed as a Russian sleeper spy, she evades capture by those who are convinced she's aiming to assassinate the president.


Sounds promising. And not just because maybe you'll be able to catch a glimpse of me in the far, FAR, way background.

Dancing Machines!

So, Mrs. Los Fitz and I were having a lovely conversation about how little girls (maybe me, maybe her) make up dance routines. Which made me recall, how Chrissy from down the street and I would work on routine after routine - usually to some oldies cassettes that I had. But one routine sticks out in particular. Not from oldies, but from something even better - the song City of Crime from the movie Dragnet featuring Tom Hanks and Dan Akroyd. Once upon a time, I knew this song by heart.

Behold - my inspiration (apologies for the quality):

Vintage Gallagher!

In preparation for this evening...a little taste of Vintage Gallagher. Hang in for the first 2/2.5 minutes or so - it's totally worth it. The real payoff comes around 3:50 and 4:30. If Caesare had been real when I was a teenage girl, I would have loved him.

Culture Corner: Review of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (or rather, Remembering Jason Segel)

No better way to start this Culture Corner review than with Christine's (or should I say Kilikina's) review:

Any man willing to show his man goods on the big screen multiple times deserves an Oscar in my book. Jason Segel, we salute you.


My own take? The movie was funny, almost uncomfortably so at times. But I'm not sure I loved it as much as I wanted to love it. There is a fairly amusing subplot with a newly married couple. The hidden gem of the movie is probably Paul Rudd. All scruffy and beachy looking. Rawr!

Filmapalooza!

One of the perks of my job is the fabulous mid-town location. Periodically we see trailers and crews in the neighborhood.

Today, Confessions of a Shopaholic was filming just a couple blocks away (left pic). And on Monday, we can expect to see cast and crew from Gossip Girl hanging around (right pic). XOXO!
