Brad Pitt, Celebrity and a Random Act of Kindness

I was invited to a special screening for Moneyball on the Sony lot. If you’ve never been there, or don’t live on the Westside, it’s quite a trek out to Culver City. I’m almost always late, and I can’t find the right driveway, not ever. Once on the lot, I often get lost trying to find the right theater, and then get lost again trying to find my car. It’s never my favorite place to see a movie (that would be the Academy’s theater on Wilshire in Beverly Hills – it’s the place movie lovers call Heaven) because I hate driving those freeways – the 405, the 10, Overland exit, Motor Avenue and then finally, there’s Sony. But it was worth it this time because I was getting to see one of the best films of 2011: Moneyball.

The special screening at Sony meant that Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill were going to be there for a Q&A. It’s hard to get people out to Sony to see Moneyball now, after it’s had its box office run – they didn’t pay to see it so why would they drive all the way out to Culver City to see it? Well, obviously because it was a chance to sit in the same room with one of the most splendid among us. The only catch was that they had to watch Moneyball first.
