I took this very exciting photo on the Marietta Square last night.
Happy Friday. Here’s what I know.
Actor Val Kilmer was spotted Thursday evening heading into the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change.
Actors Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill and director Akiva Schaffer, who are here working on “Neighborhood Watch,” dined at the Virginia-Highland Atkins Park very late Wednesday night (actually, very early Thursday morning) with several members of the production crew.
The large crowd went through three bottles of Herradura Tequila along with a spread of pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes and fries. That project was setting up for an overnight shoot on the Marietta Square Friday night, but they were planning to clear out by about 6 a.m. Saturday. They better. I have it on good authority there’s a fabulous private party happening at the Strand Theatre on the Square Saturday night.
Marisa Tomei has taken a shine to Parish since she’d been in town filming a movie called “Parental Guidance.” She’s been spotted there twice in recent days. The movie, formerly known as “Us and Them,” also stars Bette Midler and Billy Crystal and was filming a scene Friday at Perimeter Mall, which is right across the street from the AJC.
That’s right, “Parental Guidance,” was filming a rock’s throw from a bunch of reporters. Insert joke here.

Is that Parental Guidance movie now called “Call me Artie?” I see Yellow signs in Buckhead with “Artie” on them, and 10/7 web article says it has Crystal, Midler, and Tomei in it.

Jason, you’re correct. This movie is having a bit of an identity crisis. First it was Artie, then Us and Them, now Parental Guidance. Whether this name sticks, who knows.

My daughter received a call yesterday to be an Extra in this film @ Perimeter, so hopefully this presents an exciting new chapter in her life.

Val seems like a good dude. Loved his cameo in Entourage – that seemed like genuine Val. And he also gets points for being in Heat, one of the best films of the 90’s.

Marissa Tomei is a very pretty lady, almost as pretty as you, Jennifer.

I agree – Heat is one of the best films of the 90’s – and Val rocked. I saw and said hello to Val Thursday night. He looks pretty good and showed some genuine warmth to me -

This is VERY important. Who cares about real issues? Not me, I just want my husband to keep bringing home the bacon.
