And some film technicians running around with cameras and sound booms. The streets surrounding were I am are blocked off. It's past midnight; these hollywood people are mentally ill. But we already knew that. :rolleyes:

Hey, don't talk about my mom like that.
 
A giant glowing balloon. If I were there it'd be archery practise time.

Instead of complaining I would try to run down and see if they need an extra. You can be guying walking down the street number 2. Then you can go around signing autographs.
 
Extras get payed around $75. I've been an extra a bunch of times, all you have to do is not be ugly.
