"Stale Tickets"
Lottery News (Just had to drop this in here...)
A Washington & Lee statistics professor, Scott Hoover is suing the Virginia State Lottery. The claim states that the Virginia Lottery continues to advertise and sell scratch off tickets after prizes have been won. The lawsuit requests that the state reimburse all those players to whom it sold "stale tickets."
If this is true then a lot of scratch-off games will have to go through significant changes. Not just in Virginia but everywhere. With the cost of creating a game, advertising it, printing and distributing millions of tickets the state will certainly have a hard time earning any money if winners are announced too early.

Red Eye
Just spoke with George. He's working on the score in Seattle. He's composing on keyboard and then he'll transpose the music to guitar and other instruments. Once he's got some roughs he'll email them so we can see how they work.
Darren has ideas about changing the order of certain scenes. I guess I lied when I said we had picture lock. This is the process... "hurry up and wait..."
I feel like I'm on the red eye. Tired, exhilarated and wondering when we'll get there.
Speaking of night flights here's a series of photos I took on the flight from Las Vegas to Chicago. We'd just finished a 3-week stint shooting last year in California and Las Vegas. Photos were taken about every 20 minutes - not all of them are shown here. These were shot with the intention that they'd be a series of prints called Red Eye. I'll get around to it someday. One thing at a time.

The Battle of Algiers
Waiting with baited breath for music from George.
Darren's in New York and says he'll take a look at the new cut as soon as he gets home - which is today or tomorrow.
Last night watched The Battle of Algiers Paul Greengrass referred to this film as a huge influence for The Bourne Ultimatum. It's a monster!
