Celeb Sighting: Billy Gardell


Star of CBS hit MIKE & MOLLY.

Spotted in Studio City.  He was wearing a Pulp Fiction t-shirt.  He was with his family so we didn't bother him.

Sighting Funny People

Here are some celebs I've sighted in the last few months:


Jack Black at the Arclight Theater

Jason Segel at a GET HIM TO THE GREEK screening

Steve Carell at Ralph's Grocery Store

And also, I thought I saw Tim Robbins once, but upon further inspection - it wasn't him.

The Arclight has Pretty Pictures

On Wednesday we went to go see a film at the Arclight in Hollywood with our friends the Jensens.
(The Informant! - movie review to be posted Monday)

Whilst standing in line to get popcorn, I look behind us. Lo and behold:

Ethan Suplee
(My Name is Earl and countless Kevin Smith movies)

TJ Miller
(Cloverfield)

Will Arnett
(Arrested Development and Amy Pohler's husband)
"Joy" I exclaimed at the top of my lungs. Well, not really, but I was feelin' it!
My wife and friends were seeing me spaz out and were telling me to calm down.
Hey, I didn't approach them or anything stupid. I just gazed and wondered...

Yes Man Premiere

That's all I can say about Wednesday night.

I was graciously invited to go to the Yes Man premiere in Westwood. I was also invited to the after party event. It was pretty much nuts. There was free food, free booze, free photo services, free Dance Dance Revolution, free everything.

I'm posting some pics onto Facebook, you can check them out here.
The film was really great. There were things from the original script that I loved that didn't make it to the final cut, but it was still very funny.

At the afterparty I had several chances to meet people. Some of the interns were a bit shy about approaching celebrities, but I kind of went for it with reckless abandon.

Here's a list of celebs that I saw:
Christopher Masterson
Ben Foster
Wilmer Valderrama
Laura Prepon
Alyssa Milano
Gerard Butler
Molly Sims
Terrence Stamp
Bradley Cooper
Peyton Reed (director of Yes Man)
Danny Wallace (writer of the original book)
Edoardo Ponti
Sasha Alexander
Tommy Davidson

I would have introduced myself to Gerard Butler and Ben Foster, but they were talking to some pretty young things, so I decided to not bother them.

Here is a list of celebs that I introduced myself to:
Rhys Darby (way cool - I even got a picture...coming soon)
Jarrad Paul (helped write the film with Andrew Mogel)
Andrew Mogel (he was surprised that I knew Jarrad from Action!)
Danny Masterson (told him I was a fan of his work, also his brother)

Because they didn't show up, I didn't see:
Jim Carrey
Zooey Deschenel
Jenny McCarthy

It was a way awesome night despite that though. Hopefully I will be invited to many more premieres and hopefully I can have a "plus one" on my ticket.

Harold Ramis is the MAN

Tiffany and I went to go see the new film by Harold Ramis tonight.
It's called Year One and it stars Jack Black and Michael Cera. Also involved was Hank Azaria, Paul Rudd, David Cross, McLovin (from Superbad), Bill Hader, Oliver Platt, and even Ramis was in the film playing Adam.
Ramis and his bad self

Although highly inacurate and pretty much blasphemous, I really enjoyed it! I thought they did a great job and I would say that you should all check it out when you can. It still had some things that they needed to fix, but most of the film looked really great. I won't say much else about the film, except - I wish they had more Paul Rudd...

Afterwards I saw Ramis talking with some people. He started walking towards me so I went over and shook his hand and told him that I loved the movie and that I was a big fan. He said "thank you" and smiled, then went into the theater. I would have gotten a picture, but I left my phone in the car because they wouldn't allow it in the theater. Of all the lame times to have rules!

I Need A Post

I haven't posted in a while and so I really wanted to stretch my typing/writing skills and get some info out to all you people out there (both of you).
This won't really be in any kind of order and it is mostly random, but hopefully you get a few tidbits of info from the tyraid.

Thanksgiving was a blast, lots of food. My only regret was not eating more than I did and the only thing I'm proud of is that I didn't eat more than I did. What I really wish is that there was another day of feasting like we did that night.
We had Thanksgiving dinner with some friends and their various siblings. We ate at Lara Spencer's house because one of our friends is her kids' nanny. They were out of town for the day and so they invited us all over. They have a really nice place and we had a lot of fun with everyone.

This here is my wallpaper on my iPhone, cause Rankin and Bass are some of my role models.

We received an invitation to go see the new Miyazaki film in Glendale the other day. We arrived as soon as we possibly could, which we thought was a bit early, but the line went down the stairs, around the middle, and up the stairs again. We couldn't believe it!
Once the line started to move, we thought we might have a chance of getting in because it was going really quickly. We got to this point right here -when a woman came up to us and told us that the theater was full. She gave us a ticket to any movie we wanted to see that night instead. So we decided to stick around and go see - Plus we got free popcorn and drinks. The popcorn was cold though, which makes us 0 for 2 on cold popcorn at the theaters here.
The movie was pretty decent - very funny.

Coming out of our apartment the other day, we saw this beautiful sky. The weather here is continuously amazing and we love every minute of it. We kind of miss snow though.
At the ward
Christmas party last night, someone had decorated a Charlie Brown Christmas themed table. It was pretty much amazing and I congratulate the decorators on such a great table ensemble.

I read this on the Fail Blog and thought it was one of the funniest/saddest things I've ever heard -

CELEB WATCH:
I saw Angela Basset next to the ER set on Thursday. She looked pretty tired, she was waiting for her ride to take her to wardrobe or something. She still looked really good though.

St. Nick's Pub

One more celeb sighting:Today we went to a Village Roadshow Intern get-together at a pub (no I did not drink anything).

Coming out of the bathroom I saw Hal Sparks at a booth. I told Tiffany and another intern that I totally recognized and wanted to talk to him, but couldn't remember his name. I desperately tried to IMDb him to figure out his name (I knew he was on the show Queer as Folk and the film Dude, Where's My Car?) but the friggin' Edge network wasn't working. I would have talked to him and told him I am a fan, but I didn't want to be lame and not know his name.

I swear that the next celeb I see that I remember their name and they're not busy or getting into their car or juggling a bunch of groceries or something...I will talk to them. Guaranteed.

RocknRolla

I also work as an intern at Village Roadshow Pictures which is super fun.

Here is a picture of the building I work in:


Here is the view from the office that I work in (yes, that is the Warner Brothers Lot):
That's the WB lot yo!

The perks: I get to read scripts and the trades all day. Sometimes I get to see dailies of upcoming movies.

Movie perks: I get to walk around the WB lot a lot and I see them filming awesome stuff. Every now and then I get to meet people that work on the shows and films. Today I walked by some stars of the CBS hit BIG BANG THEORY. I walked by them and was going to talk to them, but unfortunately they were getting in their cars and I didn't want to bug them. These are the guys I saw:

Simon Helberg

Jim Parsons

So now the other awesome/sweet part...

I get to go to screeners of new films coming out. Tonight's showing:

I whole-heartedly endorse this film. I was wary after Guy Ritchies last two attempts which were, in my opinion, sub-par. But this...this film...was amazing!
It took me right back to high school. Sneaking a DVD of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels into my room and then subsequently going to see Snatch in the theaters with my friends. The scene were Gerard Butler and his cronies are being chased by two very large Russians was genious. I was so freakin' happy to be seeing this film, I hope you all are too.

Here's a picture of the theater that we saw it in, I took the pic from my iPhone. It's pretty dark, but you can tell it's swanky just by what you can see (notice the posh WB symbol above).

Here is a little map of how awesome my day was...
