Simple Stuff Really Hollywood Milieu ©2010 Written by Denny Dormody
Here’s a real life scenario: You work a day job you detest. You work with maybe five people in Office Space type cubicles. You wouldn’t invite those losers to lunch. You wouldn’t invite those losers to an execution. You certainly wouldn’t invite those losers to [...]
Blades of Dummies Hollywood Milieu ©2010 Written by Denny Dormody
She’s small but loud. Small but obnoxious. She’s one of the wardrobe ladies from hell and we are moving out of her way.
We are the background extras. I don’t even have a pulse yet. It is 5:30 am. This promises to be about [...]
One Night in Fresno Hollywood Milieu ©2010 Written by Denny Dormody
There’s not much to Fresno, California. Not much sitting looking at the four walls of The Vagabond Inn just off the Interstate. I can hear the din of the traffic as trucks shift gears as the moon and sun slowly trade places. Still I’m [...]
Mean Streets Hollywood Milieu©2010 Written by Denny Dormody
I’ve walked these mean streets many times. I’ve walked these mean streets with a gun in my hand. I’ve walked these mean streets without a gun in my hand.
Happy Happy Joy Joy Hollywood Milieu ©2010 Written by Denny Dormody
I’m finally working on a feature directed by Garry Marshall. This guy is the man as far as romantic comedies go. Pretty Woman, Beaches, The Princess Diaries, and soon, State of the Union with Richard Gere. All crafted by comedy curmudgeon Garry Marshall. This [...]

Written by Denny Dormody
It’s Sunday about 545 am. It’s early. I heading down 6th Street in downtown LA. These streets are nothing to write home about, especially at this time of day. As the song says, the darkest hour is always just before the dawn. This [...]
Cold Case Hollywood Milieu ©2009
Written by Denny Dormody
It’s another cold crappy gray day in Philadelphia. Outside the precinct windows it looks like rain. Rain. It’s been raining in Philly like forever. Cops and detectives are dragging their feet over the scuffed and stained linoleum. Maybe one of these decades the city fathers will [...]
Heidi & I Hollywood Milieu ©2009 Written by Denny Dormody
I’m watching the Oscars. The booming-voice announcer says “ Live from The Kodak Theater, located at Highland and Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles, It’s the 81st Annual Academy Awards.” Once again I’m not nominated. Not for Best Actor. Not for Best Supporting Actor. Not even [...]
The L-Word Hollywood Milieu ©2009 Written by Denny Dormody
The L-word is all around the movie industry. From small budget B movies to bigger budget epics. People outside of the movie industry don’t even know it exists. But on sets, you hear it being talked about all the time. But, always in the shadows. Make-up [...]
