In Which I Become Your Director Of Hospitality.

Girl, are you Monday? Because I am not looking forward to seeing you again.

It’s the weekend! And you know what? Still playing at the ArcLight this is the first great movie of the year, The Grand Budapest Hotel. Get after it.

By the way, I can say without equivocation that the ArcLight is the best movie theater in the world. It has assigned seating, no commercials and homemade caramel corn. And because it’s located in the epicenter of showbiz, it always has something fascinating on display in the lobby. Right now, it’s the actual scale model of the Grand Budapest Hotel. On any given week, they’ll feature the Batmobile or Iron Man’s suit.

You can also can’t throw a punch at the ArcLight without hitting a celebrity. For years, tourists wandered around Hollywood searching for celebs, not realizing Humphrey Bogart was the last one to actually hang out there. But now, stars come in droves to watch movies at the ArcLight. Last week, I was on line for popcorn ahead of Jason Bateman.

Go see Grand Budapest – the movie. And the model. And double-fist some caramel corn and thank me later.
