Re-Union (Kinda)

Since quitting my "regular job" about 2 years ago, I hadn't set foot in the Park Plaza Hotel. I actually ended up back there for "Zookeeper" at 5am to set up for a big wedding scene. In the five years I worked there I never had reason to set foot in the Imperial Ballroom and it was pretty amazing to see the place. Kind of felt like the ballroom scene in "The Shining". The photo above is what the room looked like from the stage after 11 hours.

I had to get up yesterday morning at 3:45am and I have to say, the lady who works the overnight shift at the Salem Dunkin Donuts is a riot and managed to make me laugh at 4am.

Creepiest Cast Credits Ever

So I have 2 different film magazines with big 2008 fall movie lineups both with big photo spreads on the Hillicoat-directed adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". I figured they might be worth something someday because both covers trumpet the November 2008 release of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" days before Warner Brothers announced delaying the film until July 2009 in order to have a "big tent-pole release" in the summer.(does anyone else feel the urge to giggle when they hear this phrase? Or am I the only one with the brain of a 12 year old boy?)

Anyway we're approaching February and still no big promo push for what promises to be an insanely powerful film. I mean, you've got Viggo Mortenson pushing a shopping cart through a post-apocalyptic landscape! It's "Mad Max" meets Demoula's on a Saturday! What's not to love?
Well- if you check out the cast credits on IMDB, maybe the studio powers that be think it may be a little risky to release a film with character names like "Baby Eater" and "Cannibal #2" in today's economic climate. Not exactly a date movie I'm guessing.
