The Dark Knight

I went to a screening of "The Dark Knight" last night on the Warner Brothers lot.  It was REALLY good.  Heath Ledger did a fantastic job as the joker and he was very scary.  Christian Bale looks really distinguished and all of the acting in the movie was great.  There are cool fight scenes and you are on the edge of your seat for the entire 2.5 hours of the movie.  Screenings are fun but they are also hard because it is a movie I want to talk about with people but I can't yet because I don't want to spoil anything.  It is great and even if you are not particularly a Batman fan, which I'm not, I highly recommend it.

I also took a mini tour of the lot because I have a bunch of friends who work at WB.  I saw the 'Cold Case' production office and the 'Pushing Daisies' production office.  I also saw the 'Friends' sound stage where seasons 2-10 of 'Friends' was filmed.  It is the only sound stage on the lot that is named after a show.  

After the movie and the tour I went with a bunch of my friends to this cool little dive bar called Park.  They had 80s music and music videos playing and everyone just danced and hung out.

What Happens in Vegas. . .

I spent this weekend with a bunch of friends in Las Vegas. Everyone always says that you need a vacation from your vacation and it is so true! Going to Arkansas to shoot "The River" was my "summer vacation" and even though it was nice to get away for a little while, I was working the whole time. This Vegas trip was last minute and totally relaxing. A friend of mine had a free two night stay at the Flamingo hotel so we drove down at midnight on Friday night and spent all day Saturday and most of the day Sunday.


I went with three people and all of us had other friends in Vegas that we met up with at various times. We walked around the strip, looked around several of the hotels and spent an evening at the Luxor. We tried to get tickets to Spamalot because it was the last weekend that it was playing, but there were no tickets left.


There is a Sonic about 2 miles away from the strip that we went to for dinner on Saturday night. We were trying to find an ATM and we drove past the Sonic. Until I was in Arkansas I had never seen a Sonic and now it is my new favorite thing. Unfortunately there is not one anywhere near where I live.

On the car ride home we hit a lot of traffic. We tried to stop at Calico Ghost Town, but they were closed on Sunday evening. It took about 4 hours to get there with no traffic and about 7.5 hours to get home. On the ride home we played car games and hung out.
