Weekly Update:
This past week should have been relaxing since I spent most of it at home watching and taking care of the dogs. However for some reason I still did not manage to get that much sleep and in some cases less! Not sure what that is about but oh well, what can you do. Wednesday was kind of fun though because I had lunch with James Hong and some friends at the Paramount Studio Lot. James is a funny guy, after lunch he had me take him to do some errands. Why not, spend an afternoon with him was fun. That guy has a lot of ideas and interesting stories to tell. Here is a funny spectrum, when we first arrived at the Paramount Lot he said, "Over there is where I filmed 'Chinatown' and over there was 'Wayne's World 2!'" Talk about diverse films there.
At the movies:Kind of a boring weekend at the box office but collectively the numbers were not terrible. New at #1 is the action drama The Town with 23.8 million in its debut. At #2 is the teen comedy Easy A with 18.2 mil. Suspense horror film Devil stops at #3 in it's debut with 12.6 mil. Big drop down to #4 is "Resident Evil: Afterlife" with 10.1 mil more as it is now shy of 50 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is the family animated film Alpha and Omega with only 9.2 mil to open. Not a really exciting time at the box office till closer to Halloween and early November.

I think seeing any game live brings on a whole new experience and atmosphere!
Other News:
I missed this last week but that was because I did not see the news report till very early Monday morning. Hollywood loses one of it's classic actors as Kevin McCarthy who is best known as the star of the original "Body Snatchers" died Sunday morning in Hyannis, MA. McCarthy has been in countless TV and movie appearances ranging from thrillers to comedies. McCarthy was nominated for an Oscar for his first film role in "Death of a Salesman." He has appeared in such classics as "The Misfits" and "The Twilight Zone: The Movie." I have had the chance to meet him on a couple occasions and couldn't have been any nicer. I recently saw him this past summer as well and he did seem a bit under the weather or in ailing health. McCarthy was 96.
Facts & Tips:There is a town in South Dakota named Tea.
