So far, Tuesday on "Hiccups", was the shortest gig I ever worked on in my movie business life. Two hours and forty-five minutes!! I started at eleven and I finished at one forty-five, thank god I got paid for eight hours. Most of the time was traveling and waiting around,all in all, I think I worked on set for about 10 minutes!! There were six background performers and the scene was so short, they didn't even have time to set up the crafty table. The two actors got out of the van, sat beside us on fold out chairs for five minutes, on set for half an hour, and we were done, ha!! Ha!! I was supposed to be a laundromat owner, but the laundromat was so small, there wasn't any room for both the actors and me. Therefore, between the actors or me being in the laundromat, guess who got kicked out onto the street? I knew I shouldn't have wore my red underwear on Tuesday!! Dam you "RED UNDIES", I should have gone commando!!!
I saw Brent Butt, but I was too professional to talk to him while I was working, so I didn't get the chance to let him know I am a Butt too. We could be related!! Hey, who knows, back then, our ancestors might have been tight, really tight.
It was lunch when the six of us were wrapped, and I think it was my "RED UNDIES" fault again, we were not fed!! How much money does it cost to feed six background performers? I bet the left overs after everybody else ate would be more than enough to feed the six of us, but the decision was to let us go. Oh well, too bad, so sad!!
Short day, what am I suppose to do with myself? I went home and ate instant noodle, and that is the life of a poor background performer. I was being a lazy bum, so after my healthy lunch, I sat and watched two DVD that I received from my mom. Once in a while, my mom sends me a care package from Hong Kong, and this time there were DVDs.
"Kung-Fu Master" is the story of a Shaolin Monk's revenge after the burning of the Shaolin Temple. I think they missed burning the "Kung-Fu Master" DVD when they burned Shaolin Temple to the ground. There was no story, just action for 95 minutes!! I love action, but the action was not very good at all!! The dialogue was so bad, it was better when I turned the mute on. I give "Kung-Fu Master" a big fat 2 BAGs out of 10, because the cast and stunt men deserve 2 BAGs for all the stunts they did.
"Ong Bak 3" is the final chapter of the character Tien's life, and his final duel with his arch rival. Boring!!! Long boring stretches with periods of senseless fighting!!! I don't have anything to say, because it was just bad!! I give "Ong Bak 3", 2 BAGs out of 10, because the elephants deserve 2 BAGs for all their hard work.
These two DVDs should be burn after watching!! I have two more DVDs to watch, and I am kind of nervous about wasting another four hours of my life. Oh well, these movies will only make me appreciate good movies so much more, so bring it on!!
After watching these DVDs, I have to workout my frustration with my Muay Thai instructor!!!
Yikes! What arms!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra!! I like my arms too, ha!! Ha!!
ReplyDeleteWow! The full power of B.A.G. coming at ya! If you want something really good to watch on your down time check out IRIS or Personal Taste on DramaFever, which is the Korean only version of Hulu, very cool shows. WHat do you think of The Warrior's Way? The trailer makes me yell jump a little kid, but I worry it could be...a little lame? I hope not, looks good!
ReplyDeleteI will check out IRIS and Personal Taste, thank you. I saw the trailer for "The Warrior's Way", and I have to say "LAME"!! I hope I am wrong, so let's wish for the best!!!
