Movies

We watch a lot of movies. We watch them for fun, we watch them for the husband's script writing business. We watch them because the husband, knows someone who produced it, the studio, or some other random connection.

There are a whole lot of really bad movies out there. I think recently we have seen them all. One of the things I am so proud of the husband for is that he puts his words into action. Everyone at one point in time has said that they could write something better than the drivel at the movie theaters. The husband now has several scripts written, a couple of trips out to LA, and doors are starting to open.

This is a full time job and it requires an amazing amount of patience. It is interesting to me how I watch movies differently now that I live with a writer. I was able to watch a movie from a completely new perspective in October.

The husband was hired a few years ago to do a re-write of a movie script. It was called a page on re-write and he worked hard on this. Many hours, many phone calls and many ideas where exchanged. For a while we thought we would be able to go and see the movie filmed in Panama, but due to passport issues he was unable to.

It was interesting to watch the movie knowing that the husband was the writer for the script. It was fun to watch and know some of the players in the movie and some of the inside stories about the filming of the movie.



The movie is now at Red Box if you want to rent it. It won't be the best movie you will see this year, but you can say you know who wrote it. I can assure it you will be better than Human Centipede, Frozen, and Air Bender.
