'Marley & Me' - What the newsroom thinks!

What’s it like for your workplace to be taken over by the filming of a movie? Here’s what some Sun-Sentinel journalists had to say about the newsroom becoming a set for Marley & Me.

“I haven’t seen so many people sitting around doing nothing since the O.J. trial.”
—Joe Demma, investigations editor

“I feel like I’m so much in the way. I was afraid to put my lunch in the fridge.”
—Debra R. Gibbs, Help Team assistant editor

“Thank God I’ve lost 10 pounds because my desk is wedged in between two carts of stuff.”
—Gail Gedan, The Skinny blogger and copy editor

“Alan Arkin needs to sound angrier. He's shouting too nicely to be an editor.”
—Kathy Bushouse, education reporter

“First let me say, I never even knew that Josh Groban worked here. And to think, a few columns about his dog has turned into...huh? Oh, I’m sorry. Not Josh Groban. John Grogan. John Grogan? That was the funny little guy from the Palm Beach office, right? Well, until I see Halle Barry in here to play me, I'm not that invested. However, let it be known, the camera loves me!”
—Sherri Winston, lifestyle columnist

“We heard Alan Arkin, who plays the editor, yelling that McSteamy’s travel budget was approved. We were laughing because that wouldn't happen today. Newspapers are hurting. Travel budgets are being slashed throughout the industry. That’s how you know this movie was set a decade ago. That and the fact that Owen Wilson is carrying a messenger bag.”
—Megan O'Matz, staff writer

“I still think Eric Dane looks sexier on TV.”
—Charlyne Varkonyi Schaub, home and garden editor

“This is my fifth paper and I’ve never seen anyone in the newsroom as handsome as him (Dane).”
—McNelly Torres, staff writer
