RIP Robert Duvall

Mine was "Marley and Me," only because it was shot in our newsroom and I wanted to see how many of our regular newsroom people/extras were identifiable (hardly any).

We had a scene from Hoffa shot in our newsroom and Danny DeVito took a liking to our sports editor so he made the newspaper scene. If you blink you miss him

I took a first date to see Leaving Las Vegas thinking it was the raucous sequel to Honeymoon in Vegas.

I took a first date to see Leaving Las Vegas thinking it was the raucous sequel to Honeymoon in Vegas.

Well, I mean, I suppose it was sorta funny if you're a truly sick individual.

Bad First Date Movie (BFDM!) - Fatal Attraction

1) sex scenes
2) not a good FDM when you're dating two women
3) the ending

My first paper's office was used in several McDonald's commercials. I sat off-set and watched them. I don't know his name, but one of the actors was a comedic black guy who has been in about a thousand shows.

"The Ring" has a newspaper scene filmed at the OCR office. It was amazing work by the crew that there was no disruption at all. They filmed it overnight Saturday to Sunday. Once we all cleared out Saturday night, they came in to the area they were using, moved a few things around and repainted a wall to the color they wanted. They filmed it, put everything back and repainted the wall the original color. Done by Sunday morning.
The entertainment editor wrote a sappy, ridiculous column about Naomi Watts sitting in his chair and using his desk. He lamented not getting to meet her. Then, I remember that after spending the entire night filming that scene, Watts was at the Academy Awards that Sunday afternoon presenting an award. I guess certain aspects of acting are tough jobs.

The Herald Examiner building in downtown L.A. was used in a lot of movies because it was a ****hole, which people expect newspaper buildings to be.

He was pretty good in "The Judge" with Robert Downey Jr. He definitely had the grumpy, angry old man act down pat.

If the check cashed and helped buy the mansion or the drugs, my guess is they don't really care.

Like the famous Michael Caine quote about Jaws 4:

"I've never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific."

The first date for my wife and I was Presumed Innocent. I loved the steamy sex scenes, my wife was ready to crawl under her seat.
