...so Rohit, maybe THIS is your minimum-degrees-of-separation route into
the Hollywood crowd. (Have Byars or tomwhore or I ever introduced you
to Dennis?)
Not that you'd want to get in with the Hollywood crowd; actors and
directors are even more self-centered and self-serving than geeks.
Although they are easier on the eyes for gazing purposes than geeks are.
An aside about Godzilla. Do not see this movie. It is positively awful.
Poor plotting, poor pacing, the special effects are so "seen this
before", all of the shots seem derivative of other (better) movies...
It makes "The Lost World" seem as good as "Aliens" by comparison...
