Keeping Up

In case you noticed (or cared) there was a post here about my on set experience from the movie “What To Expect When You’re Expecting”.  This is the new movie being filmed in Atlanta with Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez and others.  The picture posted was a random shot of Yvonne Monet with Matthew Morrison in the background.  The production was not happy about this post so they called my bosses and made me take it down.  Meanwhile it’s kind of flattering that they think I have that many readers here.  You weren’t missing much, trust.  This will probably be the review of the movie when it comes out.   More on the movie in this clip from our friends at Channel 11.

So I’ll probably still have to see this mess because they’ve filmed at all the Atlanta landmarks.  We watched “Life As We Know It” recently because it was filmed in our neighborhood.  We fast forwarded through the entire plot (horrible movie!) just to see Belly which was turned into “Fraiche”.  ”Hall Pass” was also filmed here and incidentally at the house owned by our friends the Fishmans.  This movie was a mess as well but it’s actually kind of funny.  DUMB and predictable–but amusing.

While we’re talking about movies last night we saw an advance screening of 50/50 with Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogen.  It’s about a 27 year old guy who gets cancer and how he deals with it.  It’s weird to say a film about cancer was hysterical, but it was.  It is also really touching and sad.  When it comes out September 30th, you’ve got to see it.  It’s SO GOOD.  Lucky for me I get to interview Seth and the writer Will Reiser this Friday who the film is based on.

In TV watching news I CANNOT wait for all of the new fall shows.  I got an advance copy of “Ringer” with Sarah Michelle Gellar and I thought it was fantastic.  I’m also excited for Pan Am, Whitney and Revenge.  And of course anything on Bravo is right up my alley. Most Eliglbe Dallas is pretty good.  Rachel Zoe Project is bananas and it’s so great that the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills is back.  What did you think of the finale of Entourage??  I kind of liked it?  I still can’t believe they are making a movie out of this show. They need to get rid of Vince (Adrian Grenier) because he is so not believable as a big movie star.  It is exciting that Alice Eve plays his love interest though.  She came in last year to promote a movie and was lovely.  She deserves to be more famous, she is gorgeous, sweet and actually eats (I witnessed this!).

In other news we’ve had a lot of family time lately.  We took Charlie to the Dragon Con parade which is always awesome.

We also went to Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze this weekend in an attempt at family fun.  After driving an hour to this all we heard from Charlie and his cousin Frederick was “I’m hungry, I’m hot, I’m bored, this isn’t fun”.  What the hell was I thinking trying to provide lasting memories for these brats??  Or maybe we just went up there a month too soon??  Anyway, I went so now we never have to go again.  Here are the children of the corn:
