So am I the only person who feels like there's literally no good movies, like ever, in the theaters? I can't be alone in this feeling, right? There's no way people are still getting amped up to see the 5,000th Tyler Perry movie. Well, I just hopped on IMDB.com and the coming soon section actually didn't make me miserable. Quite the opposite actually; it seems like over the next few weeks we've got some hits to look forward to. Hangover II opens this weekend, then pretty much every weekend after that it's another sweet flick after another.
You guys have got to take a look at this:
May 26: Hangover Part II
June 3: X-Men: First Class
June 10: Super 8
June 17: Green Lantern
June 24: Bad Teacher
Nuts, right! They even spaced it out nicely for us. One hit a weekend; perfect.
P.S. Those of you saying "Green Lantern does not look like a good movie.", you're totally right-it doesn't. For whatever reason I think it will still be awesome though. Odds are that's probably because I'm a nerd/it's definitely because I'm a nerd.

Harder Than It Sounds
Okay, so since I was really little, I always thought it would be awesome to have a job as writer for a movie or maybe a sitcom. It just sounds like so much fun to me. A couple people sitting around a room trying to make each other laugh, and when they succeed, they write it down; sounds easy enough. Not to mention if you're any good, you can make an absolute killing doing it.
An article in New York Magazine came out this week however, and somewhat crushed my dream job for me. The article is a collection of interviews with showrunners and creators of shows such as 30 Rock, Community, The Office, The Late Show with David Letterman, and many more. Essentially it talks about how these guys go in for upwards of 13 hours a day and it is less than a fun experience. There is apparently so much tension and nerves to hit a deadline, that it sounded like everyone interviewed could have cried at any second. I guess that's what makes them pros though. They just deal with their nerves, and keep on moving.
