I stood out in the freezing cold on the edge of the set for over six hours last night. What the hell is wrong with me????

But it was worth it!

Sorry these shots aren't better. He was moving fast, it was relatively dark, people kept moving in front of my camera, and let's face it...I'm definitely no professional photographer.

The security men there were the surliest I've ever encountered. As soon as he came walking up to us, they started screeching, "Put your camera away NOW!" People were taking pictures, anyway.

Mark Wahlberg was way cool and so nice to the gawkers, as always. He signed about thirty autographs but had to get back to the set. He kept apologizing to everyone for not being able to stop and pose for pictures and for not personalizing his autographs.

He was only with us for about three minutes, then he had to go back down to the next block where his scene was being filmed. They must have done at least a dozen takes on this one scene where he gets hit by a car. There was a padded mat on the street by the curb, and we watched him pretend to walk into the path of a car and then tumble onto the ground over and over again.

Big shout-out to Giovanni's at 5th and Main in Royersford--they carted out a stack of piping-hot pizzas and fed all of the gawker holdouts around 1 a.m. Yummy!
