If you read your major Denver daily newspapers or probably the Greeley Trib (still under the impression Greeley is a Denver suburb), you will see the city is atwiter (/ahtwitter/ to be ridicously
excited about something that does not have real bearing on your life)
because a real Hollywood movie is going to be filming right here in Hickenlooper Ville. The money, the glitz, the glamour. The opportunity to go to a theater and say "Hey that building in the background looks just like that one building next to that place in downtown Denver." I'm still trying to come to terms with how BIG this is for Denver. The economic kickback and maybe even Lindsay Lohan trying to run down my mom in her SUV in a drunken-cocaine-laced rage. Not to mention Eddie Murphy (the real Eddie Murphy of Beverly Hills Daddy Care fame) here in our town,carousing with Denver's finest or hiding out in a hotel room - safely away from all these movie star starved fanatics. So, before the Big Hick holds a big press conference this morning – announcing that the iconic Hollywood letter signs will be moved to the side of South Table Mountain, let us take a moment to be grateful. Hollywood has found us, we will become a movie mecca like Vancouver or Dallas. And, let it be known, that when film producers needed a backdrop for a movie called "Nowhereland," they knew just where to look!
