so after the movie, i trodded outside and i saw a guy on his phone in front of me that looked like brett ratner. this seems to be a growing trend, the whole recognizing people from behind. last weekend jesse palmer, yesterday jude law (even though my friend saw him, but i only saw him from behind), and now brett ratner. 

as i was walking right past him, i notice he gets off the phone and gets into a black SUV. any doubts that i had this was him were quickly erased. so me in all my dumb glory (with iPod headphones on mind you) said "hey, i'm a huge fan!". he turned around, waved, and smiled.

and thus, my brush with fame was over. WTF? not that i could've done much more. but you always hear stories about people who just take chances when they run into hollywood "power players" and tell them to give them a chance. i need to grow a pair and do that next time. until then, i'll have to polish off that non-existent screenplay and tv pilot. 

and brett, if you set up a google alert for yourself...HI! call me and we'll have dinner. your treat.
