Rain wouldn’t have surprised me in London or Paris, but due to the legendary weather of the Golden State (or at least So Cal – a new word in my vocabulary which means South California), I dare say that only in Hollywood can you see such things.

Such things which I decided to dub “Hollywoodisms” and which I plan to share with you through my blog. Despite other such facts / events I have experienced so far, this post will be the first official one:

Hollywoodism #1 – the main male and female characters part under the rain.

Note 1: it’s even better if the music matches (in our case, KLOS radio station playing “Living on the Edge” by Aerosmith and later on “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC).

Note 2: In case you’re wondering about previous Hollywoodisms, #0 would be “when going to the beach, it is always sunny” (dude, it’s SoCal!). Which brings me to Anti-Hollywoodisms or Antyhoodisms, like: “when going to the beach, it’s foggy as hell”. That would be what the clever or would-be-original director/screenplay would include in the plot (think “cop shouting the hostage”, etc.). Coming back to the fog, this is also what happened to us last week when we planned our picnic in Santa-Monica. :o)
