The only thing better than a RED is hearing camera people complain about it.

How to get a free car from a movie set in Detroit.

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0500

Be white.
Wear a walkie talkie earpiece.
Walk onto set, saying that you’re the additional PA that day.
Tell somebody that you were told to move a particular car.
Get in. The keys are in the visor.
Drive away.
Fill out your time card and turn in your petty cash.

7:30am. Just got home from work. Going to bed. Fuck you.

Here's what's going on:

We’re shooting in Detroit
Today I’m checking in 100 extras.
The remake of Red Dawn, also shooting in Detroit, has been shut down for a few days because one of the leads (as rumor suggests) is sick with SWINE FLU.
The wrap party is happening before the movie wraps. Awkward.

Dear LA,

Fuck you for making me feel self-conscious about saying “pop” instead of “tasty bubble water” or whatever you call it.

This last week we’ve been shooting in Kovac’s Bar...

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:01:42 -0500

This last week we’ve been shooting in Kovac’s Bar off of W. Jefferson in Detroit.

It’s in one of the more bombed-out looking parts of the city (which is saying quite a bit), right across from the truck ferry to Windsor. Cement trucks were passing by all day every day.

Adjacent from Kovac’s is an enormous, terrifying industrial complex which, when we were downwind, alternatively emitted the smells of dog feces and dog urine. A giant orange and blue flame endlessly burst from the place. At night it looked especially sinister. Like Mordor or some shit.

The most interesting location, however, was the abandoned building by crew parking. I hadn’t noticed it until today.

Two fellow PAs and I decided to explore it after wrap.

It was 7pm so it was dark already. We walked through the building. They call this urban exploring or urban spelunking, but instead of SLR cameras we brandished LED flashlights and utility knives (you know, PA stuff).

It was exciting. Not sure where I was going with that, but you had to read it anyway.

Yesterday I invented a game called “Person Lying Down or Pile of Garbage?” where you try to figure out whether a dark shape on the ground (in alleys or the middle of the street) were hapless homeless people or, in fact, old Faygo cans and Coney Dog wrappers (oh Detroit). The results are sometimes surprising and always depressing.

What I’m really trying to say is LA is for pussies.

My flight back will be in about 20 days.

Hey there hot stuff,

want to come back to my place and help me resolve my intimacy problems?

marklevitz:

I want to know where these assholes were last night, and what they were doing:

SPENCER STRAUSS - He could have went in my room and stolen my camera!

JILLIAN BORDEN & DAN RIESSER - Jillian admitted to being at my house last night, and she could have stolen my camera, too!

JENN RUIZ, ASHLEY BORLIK & SHANE HOUGHTON

DAVE LYONS & TONY ZARET

PAUL ISAKSON & RANDY COLBURN

I was in LA, pranking people under the guise of Del and using Tim’s camera. OH NO I SAID TOO MUCH!

…I’m pretty sure I knocked a couple things off of it today.

1. Waking up and starting a day at 2:30am.

2. Walking in the middle of a major expressway without fear for my life.

Thanks, Show Biz!

Mine is:

1. Working on a movie with Ken O.
OH WAIT I DID THAT TODAY!

Soupy Sales Died.:

(via braidsbraided)

The movie I’m working on shot at the WXYZ station (Detroit channel 7) on Sunday. I was talking to one of the station grips about the place and he told me all about Soupy Sales. Weird that he died this week.
