A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Dec. 7th, 2007 05:14 pmStopped off at Thinkwell this blustery morning to pick up a stack of treatments and project materials so I can spend the weekend getting up to speed. It's a great team of folks, very energetic, open, and professional. I'm quite humbled and super excited.
Headed into rainy, overcast Burbank for lunch with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
garycotti and zodmicrobe for lunch at Hooters (what??), then we all went to see THE MIST. Holy crap, what a great horror movie (sorry kingfuraday, I completely disagree with you on this one). Sure, the CG's a bit low-rent in spots, but I give that a pass because everything still worked, it was very effective and disturbing and scary as hell. I wasn't prepared for the very ballsy, very dark ending -- one of the few horror movies to ever make me cry. I'm a huge fan of the book, but I think its original ending would have felt like a cop-out, cinematically -- what was ominous and dark on the page would have felt incomplete and too open-ended on the screen.
Now, it's off to see the Spice Girls! Wheeeee!
