Life in Los Angeles: Was having dinner tonight at the Johnny Rocket's at Farmers Market when a guy walked in with a gunshot to his head. Fortunately, he was a sales clerk at the nearby Halloween Costume Shop. Many of the restaurant customers were startled at first, but the staff was all, "Hey, Freddy." I guess it's that time of the year.
Caught the new George Clooney movie, "Good Night, and Good Luck" about the television showdown between Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joe McCarthy.
I really wanted to like this movie, but ultimately thought it was just OK. I didn't think the drama was a gripping as it could have been given the circumstances.
Clooney used real footage of McCarthy and cut it in with black and white footage of actors recreating the situation at CBS. And for some reason, Clooney threw in a totally distracting side story about two CBS employees who were married -- which was against company policy. I'm all for Robert Downey, Jr. and Patricia Clarkson having work -- but what was the point?
