The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

[nycindie]

Went to an advance screening yesterday of the film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with Gary Oldman and Colin Firth - it is excellent! Oh man, wonderfully done. Acting was superb, and the set design and wardrobe was so crazy good (takes place mostly in the 70s). I suspect it will be released over the holidays or early in 2012. I highly recommend it.

Lively went with me, and I ran into a good friend there, so we three went out to eat afterward. Lively always says he is a loner because he "has no social skills," but of course in my eyes that is an overly harsh indictment against himself. He was fun, cute, and funny, and I was just so happy he went with me and met a friend of mine. He and I had also spent Thursday night together; I always like it when I see him twice in a week.

In the theater, I recognized another filmmaker who was sitting next to me and struck up a convo with her. I spoke with her once at a screening of one of her documentaries, and really love her work. We exchanged cards, so that was a nice connection to make.
