But my wife has been home battling a virus, and that's a distraction.<br /><br />She's doing better though.<br /><br />Otherwise, I think I'm over the hump in being swamped; I still have work, but I don't feel buried under pressing deadlines.<br /><br />Hopefully I'll be able to do some major digging back into my screenplay this week, though now I'm concerned about its possible resemblance to an upcoming Ricky Gervais/Greg Kinnear script called GHOST TOWN. If anyone has a line on the script, let me know.<br /><br />This weekend:<br /><br />WALL-E (3992 theaters). Is anyone more reliable than Pixar? This has gotten a lot of very solid reviews, and should do well. My guess? $71.1 million for the weekend.<br /><br />WANTED (3175 theaters). It sort of looks like action claptrap, but reviews haven't been entirely dismissive, and I'm sure there will be people checking this out. $31.2 million.<br /><br />*****<br /><br />I've been wading my way through a box of DVDs, and I can report that 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS and 2 DAYS is small, European and rivetting throughout. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I wanted to like BE KIND REWIND, but it just isn't really all that funny, despite an amiable tone.Scott the Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14560177524646531880noreply@blogger.com
