Great treat about being in one of the entertainment guilds are the screenings. I rarely go…in fact…I never go with the exception of last year’s Two Towers. And this year it’s Return of the King. I got the invite about a month ago and I called to put Mel and I on the list. Dean didn’t get an invite so I called to put he and Elizabeth on the list as well.
And today was the day. Of course, when we got up to the dude checking invites Mel and I weren’t on the list. Dean and Elizabeth were but we were not. So we stood out in the lobby until a minute before the show and the place was packed with crappy front row seats.
Dean said it worked out even because he was sitting next to a farter.
But the movie made up for it. It was amazing. Best of the three. I had an exec ask me one time if I could have written any movie what would it be? Without a pause I said the LOTR trilogy. Then he stumbled around trying to figure out what sort of Fantasy project we could develop but he missed the point. How could you not want to be involved in that production? That will last. Those movies will be classics that our children’s children will watch. Ain’t nobody gonna be collecting old copies of Jason X.
