a co-worker of mine judges the worth of an action movie by counting the number of stunt men in it. Terminator 2 wins, he says, because it has 68 stunt men. wow. movie productions amaze me. I was once an extra on The People Vs. Larry Flynt, and I was there for only 1 day, and for only 1 scene. it took over 12 hours. and I thought producing a web site was difficult. Ed Norton kept messing up his lines. it was a long, long day. but my forehead made it in the movie (check out the supreme court scene, and look towards the side of the court for a moving forehead.) my only other brush with fame was when they filmed The Rainmaker in Memphis, and my best friend worked at the bar where they were shooting a scene. some guy who looked like a frat-boy was serving drinks from the bar. I didn't pay much attention to him. I found out later he was Matt Damon. Danny DeVito (he really is that short) was there, and I got his autograph. (I was so nervous. what was I thinking?? it's just Louie...) but the only pen I had was one I'd brought from home - a heinously ugly pink Avon pen, with a big gold and pink bow on the end - so when I gave it to him, he just looked at me with a little smile, looked at the pen, and looked at me again - didn't say a word except to ask my name, and signed the menu. I laughed.
