MENTALIST #3 - HUBBLE 3D
I worked on the Mentalist for the third time today. I thought for sure that Adam, one of the casting people at Central would not want to book me after my being late yesterday. But he did so I guess it's all good.
We worked on location at the Millenium Biltmore hotel in downtown LA. Parking was at Pershing Square but base camp was across the street from the square. All the extras congregated around the breakfast catering tent and just stood around and waited.
Central called me and asked where I was. I told Brian at Central that I was at base camp standing around with a bunch of other extras. He said the PA was looking for me, but when I looked around, I didn't know where to go. But Brian said Arek is looking for you and thankfully, I heard Arek's name on a CB from another production person. I asked her where he was and she said he was at wardrobe. You're background? Ok, I'll let him know.
So when I got there, it was a bit past 8AM and my call time was 7:30AM. Since I was a bellman, I was supposed to get fitted first, but they were just finishing-up on the other bellman and the doorman. Wardrobe seemed confused and little unorganized, but so did the PAs. I thought Arek could have walked to where we all were and give an announcement, but that's just how these things go sometimes.
When we wrapped, it was around 4:30PM and the Hubble 3D screening was at 7PM. So I drove down to the California Science Center, found a free parking spot on the streets in the hood right across from the Center, and called Janet to kill some time. Actually, she called me so it was perfect timing. She'd been exhausted from the parent teacher conference week and so she was unable to talk to me yesterday. When I told her about the Hubble screening, she seemed so interested in it like she wanted to go. But I found that reaction surprising because she's so against NASA. Am I over-thinking that?
Then I jogged down to find it the center. I'd never been there before and now I want to take the kids. It's your typical science museum for kids, but I love that shit and I think the kids would too. I jogged around the Coliseum twice and it took about 25-30 minutes. I jogged slow and I even used the restroom. I just wanted to kill some time and work some muscles before the half-marathon this Sunday.
By the time I got back to the Center, there was a pretty long line. But the theater is quite large since it's IMAX and there was plenty of space when you got in. I sat in the 2nd to the last row.
That movie could have been so much cooler, but there was a lot of subject matter about the Hubble being repaired that I'd seen get so much better coverage that I thought it was kind of pointless. But still, watching everything in 3D is so cool, especially the star traveling shots. Man, that shit is a trip!
Afterward, I stopped by Ashley's to kick it and shoot the shit. I probably stayed too long, but the conversation was funny and interesting.
