Brokeback Sure Got Us All Good......Funny Story
« on: May 07, 2007, 02:15:35 pm »
Ok, I'm now working on a Huge film for GE/Universal "The Express" (a 1961 period Football movie) and now working with the "other" Quaid, and the other day I'm wearing my BBM crew cap and, this BIG BURLY equipment truck driver that I have known a for the better side of 25 years now comes up to me and points at the cap and says DID YOU WORK ON THAT???? So now I'm thinking OK here it comes all the Gay Butt F**k  jokes that I have heard him spew many times before not associated however with BBM. Ready for it he says You know I saw about the last 20 minutes of that on HBO last week it looked very good im going to have to try and catch a replay again. Then all the questions of where when and whatever. So I walk away almost in shock. Sooo today I'm sitting on the set and I over hear him talking to someone else on how he has now seen "IT" 3 times now and what a beautiful Love Story it is. Now I'm thinking he can't be talking about BBM noooo way. So I scooch over a little more and sure enough I hear him talking about the fight he got into over BBM with his wife that refuses to watch that "Fag" movie. Now he says his Wife is "wondering"  :laugh: about is infatuation with BBM. Indeed its got some of us good!  ;)

(Claps hands and stomps feet and nods head back and forth)

Ross that is wonderful. And if you'd not had that hat on, you might have missed it. I hope you get a chance to talk with him about it. And tell him about bettermost. If you want. (not trying to run your live, just live vicariously Thur it!)

OK, this is striking me as very funny that it says "Actor" on Dennis Quaid's chair. As if he's gonna forget?!?!?!  :laugh:

The reason it says actor is because some say Producer, Script Supervisor, Gaffer...etc etc.

I am the On Set Medical/Safety supervisor hence the Bactine.  ;)

FYI,.. The BBM  cap also says Focus Features 2004  across the rear.

Well, sure, but same deal. "Who am I? Oh, yeah, I'm the producer. ..." (Maybe after a rough night. ...)  :D

Unfortunately, it's cool looking and sounding,  but in actuality, it dreary, dragging and not at all "artistic" in the mechanics of producing a film project...it's a ton of hard work.
