The Movies

I now live in the movies, or at least I live in a place where seeing movie stars happens on a regular basis. Jeff Goldblum, Keanu Reeves, Rufio from Hook, Chad Murray from One Tree Hill, Lloyd from Entourage, all have looked in my general direction. I think the next step is to approach them and offer them my autograph. Then say, "Here you go, slugger," and muss up their hair. The places I hang out are also movie-like. I keep thinking I'm going to walk around a corner and see a bunch of guys taking down lights and calling cut.

Smash and Grab Productions:
I am almost done with my temp job, but to thwart my attempts at a speedy exit the powers that be have moved me into a room with a big screen television, snack machines, a radio, a foosball table, a ping pong table and a pool table. I kid you not. I think they want me to use these things so they can fire me and claim they don't have to pay me for all my work. Well, the joke's on them. I only use these things during my lunch break, and now instead of food, fun is my lunch. I have another script to read. This one is a television pilot, oooo.

Rule #4
Find someone who is doing what you want to be doing and work for them for free.

Oh hey Mr./Mrs. Big shot, I was in the neighborhood and was wondering if you needed a bitch. Why yes, I do have experience being a brown noser.

All I am saying is there's nothing wrong with cold calling people whom you admire. Even sending an e-mail or letter a day isn't harassment until they tell you it is. So get out there and send that letter to Peter Jackson or David Lynch, because you never know.
