Focus groups are random, right place at the right time.

Early screenings are easier, you just have to put in the time. Extra tickets to them are provided to local papers and radio stations. In my city a major radio station "sold" them using points from listening. They'd give out one password an hour for the morning show, there was a site that recorded them, I'd go on the site every day, copy and paste the passcodes into the station website, collect the points, cash them in for movies I wanted to see.

My city isn't Las Angeles though. Their might be fewer available seats there than in my city.

I was just walking around Hollywood and two guys were just handing out invites to American Wedding.

I also got into a screening because someone in our group was an avid movie goer and knew the manager.

Some online reviewers I watch sometimes get invited to screenings

Ever since he decided to avenge his dog and get his car back, I feel like John is in a sort of impossible situation where if he refuses to indulge the people asking favours from him, they'll just fuck with him until he snaps, but when he does inevitably snap, everybody's after him because he went too far, or he killed the wrong person, or he broke the rules.
