He Sees Movies Like Real People Do.

There was a time, not all that long ago, when downtown Hollywood was a nasty place. But then an effort was made to build hotels and stores and theaters, and the town became so family friendly it practically has childbearing hips.

During the shitty days, it was fun to watch folks on vacation wandering around town, hoping to catch a glimpse of a celebrity. But the last star to hang out there was Hunphrey Bogart.

Cut to today, and Hollywood has the best movie theater in the country – the ArcLight – and suddenly the area is teeming with famous people. I was personally thrilled the other day to see Paul Dooley, who’s been in almost 200 TV shows and films, including stealing the most underrated sports movie of all time: Breaking Away.

Thank you, sir, for making me a tourist in my own city.
