Saturday was SAG Picnic in the Park day. Interesting. Chatted to a girl from NY who was in LA less than six months and wanted the full SP on everything so I gave her my advice on agents, managers, where to live, training, etc. It not until you see all the random people wandering around that you start to realise how many weirdos there really is in SAG. Bless 'em. Oh, you can also spot the 'I have no idea how to be subtle' people... they're the ones walking around with headshots in their hands - honestly, some people have no idea, seriously. There's also the 'I have the IQ of a cobb salad people' and there's also the mad people and the geeks... yes, they're here too! With the board election coming up, I was betting that quite a few of the existing board would be there campaigning. Saw Elliot Gould wandering around chatting to people and most of the Wild Bunch of Hollywood were there too, most of them trying to get voted in. When all was said and done, it was a very nice day and the free entry ticket doubled as a raffle ticket and they gave a ton of stuff away to the lucky winners... which was nice.
Watched the remake of King Kong on DVD and enjoyed it. A little self-indulgent in places but if you're remaking an uber-classic, I suppose you can do that!
