Had a job interview tonight. No one seems real impressed. It was with the Tinseltown movie theater. Assistant manager position.
How glamorous is that? But screw it. I love movies. And 9.25 an hour is more than I’ve made the last two weeks laying floor. Hell, a buck is more than I’ve made the last two weeks laying floor.
And I hate laying floor. And I love movies. Seems like a no brainer when I put it that way, don’t it?
If I’m offered the position I believe I’ll take it. Starting out it looks like I’d still be available to lay floor. So I guess that would be good. Two jobs is still better than no jobs. I might have to quit the restaurant though. That would be a nice break.
But I’m sure I’d miss it eventually.
Working on a little groove. Just can’t seem to get it right. Just gotta take it up the scale then back down the scale. Maybe hang out in the middle for second. Maybe go back up a second, and then back down for a second. I don’t know. Just gotta keep working it.
Went and saw Eagle Eye after my big interview. It don’t suck.
It’s better than I expected it to be. And I wasn’t expecting it to be very good. I guess honestly Steven Spielberg hasn’t really let me down that often. I’ll never forgive him for what he did to Indiana Jones though.
Did anyone see the South Park where they brought Spielberg and Lucas up on charges of raping Indiana Jones? That was freaking hilarious. And what’s also hilarious is the brown note episode of South Park. I don’t wanna be a spoiler for ya, but if you know the episode of the brown note, then you really must see Eagle Eye.
Like I said, it don’t suck. It is action packed and at times the action seems a little too packed. The elaborate escape sequences and stuff are pretty cool to look at but ultimately unnecessary to the plot. But it is Spielberg, right.
The characters aren’t bad. Billy Bob Thornton is the best. Rosario Dawson is the hottest. That Shia kid is okay and the chick lead is really, really cute. She pulls it off pretty well.
It just got kinda old with the voice on the phone telling them to do something, them saying no, something bad happening, the voice telling them to do something, them saying no and then something bad happens.
Sometimes they just straight disobey and nothing happens to them. It just don’t make much sense.
But whatever. It’s a pretty fun ride. It was a nice little twist on this year’s super high tech action dramas. A twist I was familiar with having read Vulcan’s Hammer by Philip K. Dick. Author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep from which the cult sci-fi classic The Blade Runner was scripted.
The end does get a little loose, short of flying hammers with lasers shooting all over the place.
All in all, I give this film a 2 and a half HALs out of five.

Well, you may not have a job, you not have tons of money, and you may not be where you want in life right now – but you are still the cutest and most adorable “WIlly” I know! And hey, working at a movie theater might be pretty fun and like you say, a little bit of money is better than no money.
