Today they did some filming for the new Tom Hanks film "The Pacific" (I think it's called that) in my city.

I didn't know it was on, so when we walked past we were like "WTF?!" when all these black banners were covering the views of the sidewalk, the biggest and most main street in the whole state was blocked off and all these old signs were up.

We asked a policewoman what was happening and she told us. It was really cool, to actually see a real movie set, for a huge ass American film, directed by Steven Spielberg in my city which no one knows about because it's overshadowed by Sydney.

I didn't actually see any filming happening, I had to go home early but I passed the set a few times and kept seeing things being added. It took hours and hours to build.

Haha, it was so crowded though. I guess people thought that maybe someone important would see them, and ask them to play a part because someone had an accident or called in sick and they'd get the part by hanging around. Although I can't talk, that's why I walked slowly to get to my destinations.

I've got some inspiration for my story though.
