Lost in the Supermarket (er, Mall)
So today I went to my first film screening as The Reviewer. It was rather exciting, sitting a few seats away from one of my idols, Gary Cogill (no, I wasn't starstruck. I've met him a few times before). And was that elderly lady behind me legendary entertainment reporter Bobbie Wygant? Maybe. I didn't really have time to ask. See, I was running a little late. Directions are not Go-to-Guy's strong suit. But then again (and I'm sure Trish can back me up on this), unless you frequent NorthPark, it can be a little confusing to navigate. There aren't many opportunities to get to the floor you need. Make a wrong turn and you could wander around for a good while (terrible idea if you're wearing Converse) before realizing you've made to the complete other side of the mall and are still no closer to your destination.
But I do enjoy NorthPark. It (well, how can I put this without sounding snooty?) attracts a different crowd. Let's just say there aren't many shabbily dressed loiterers at NorthPark, unlike Firewheel in my neck of the woods. Anyway, it was good to see a film with some old pros (I was the youngest person there by about, oh, 15 years). Hearing their pre-movie banter, like "TriStar Pictures presents: A Milos Forman Film. Fred Savage. Cuba Gooding, Jr. Daddy Day Camp" was great. Look for my review Wednesday, Aug. 8, and my interview with Fred Savage(!) on the 10th.
Comments
You get to interview Fred Savage?! Please, please only ask him questions about "The Wonder Years." If he tries to turn the conversation back to something current, just look at him sideways, say "I see your point," and then go back to talking about "The Wonder Years."
Also, see how many times you can call him Kevin before he snaps.

Yup. And if he mentions his numerous directorial efforts in television ("Phil of the Future," "Hannah Montana"), I'll just say, "When I was your age, television was called books!"

Yeah! I totally know what you mean about getting lost at NP. If I enter anywhere other than Nordstrom parking garage, it'll throw me off hardcore... And I spend about half of my life there. So don't feel bad.
And FRED SAVAGE?! THAT is awesome!!!:)

I think it'd be funnier to call him Cory, and then keep asking him how Shawn and Topanga are doing.
