Well, it turns out they&#8217;re filming it here in Vancouver. I just got the call, I&#8217;m going to be in it too. That they&#8217;re filming here AND during the writer&#8217;s strike seems to confirm my suspicions regarding what quality the film will be when it&#8217;s finished, because even though rationally I understand that the script was likely finished months and months ago, the haughty little film reviewer that lives in my heart just <i>knows<\/i> it&#8217;s going to be YouTube-comment-bad. Klaatu barada nikto, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>But opinion aside, work is work and a paycheque is not only a paycheque but rent, food, and bus-fare, and I&#8217;m glad for it. Not only will I have fun doing what I&#8217;m doing, every day on set is a day I get paid to meet new people and another day farther from <a href=\"http:\/\/vancouver.craigslist.ca\/fbh\/551951116.html\">dubious Craigslist ads<\/a>. (Not that I have anything against unique Craiglist postings, like this fellow who wants <a href=\"http:\/\/newyork.craigslist.org\/mnh\/muc\/551764796.html\">to play accordion with a metal band<\/a>. More power to him, I think he&#8217;s great.) I&#8217;m sure that when it comes out, Ray will be one of the first in line to see it and Nicole and I will be standing staunchly by his side, ready to play real-life Mystery Science Theater 3000 from somewhere far too close to the screen.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/lettersfromworkinggirls.blogspot.com\/\">Letters from Working Girls.<\/a><\/b><br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>365: day twenty-six One of my practically-heroes, filmmaker Yahoo Serious, (he had his name legally changed in 1980), has proposed a new flag design for Australia.
