\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

(Why do I suddenly feel like John Ritter really missed a career opportunity here?)<\/p>\n

The movie people weren’t all up in the newsroom yesterday like they were Thursday. Which was a relief for my workplace ADD. Instead, they were all up in the editor’s office filming Angela Bassett-as-editor scenes. They moved our editor’s manly leather couch out and replaced it with a more “feminine” couch so as to be believable. (I dunno, they both look like regular ugly fucking couches to me.) And yet this is the newspaper<\/a> that is going to bring down the White House. <\/p>\n

I’ve been playing a pretentious<\/s> fun little game, trying to count the typefaces on that front page. (This pic<\/a> shows the bottom half of the page, where there are no less than four typefaces alone.) Including the nameplate type, we’ve got at least six. I suspect there may be as many as eight or ten. (Play along! Eurostile, Futura, Times New Roman, Helvetica, etc.!)<\/p>\n

Sorry for the snark, but yeesh. <\/p>\n

It’s truly odd how the attention to detail on the set is so rigorous \u2014 the fake cubes are just full of neat little knick-knacks (fake photographs, tape dispensers, mini cassette tapes [which KHall pointed out aren’t really used anymore in favor of digital recorders] deadline schedules, news clippings, post-its, leather-bound journals, meaty works of fiction, Washington Redskins crap, crumpled granola-bar wrappers) added by set designers \u2014 and yet the actual product the movie revolves around \u2014 the newspaper \u2014 is so … whatevs.<\/p>\n

In other words, Hollywood, I WORK CHEAP. Resum\u00e9 available upon request.<\/p>\n
