Quote of the Day
"I love women. They smell nice, they're cuddly, they have cute little feet."
-Jonathan, director of 6 Degrees
Finished shooting last night around 1:45. (Not too late, actually.) However, I ended up going to sleep around 4. (Too late.) Couldn't get any sleep and now I'm going to work, after calling so I could sleep for a couple of hours. I was SO tired from running that I thought I burst a vein or two in my lungs. It was worth it though. Jonathan and I watched some of the footage at his house and it looked pretty good. Then again, with Jon's stuff, the visuals and stuff never has any probs- it's whether the actor(s) hit his/her mark(s) and do the lines correctly.
Thought I'd add another photo in here. This is the scene where my character is searching for the gun that he ends up using later to hold up a restaurant.
I think I have just a few days of filming left-- sweeeeeeeet. I can't wait to see some of the footage. Cya!

Two things pissin me off today:
1) Gas prices. Just check this out:
2) Sonia Gandhi taking her name out for Prime Minister of India.
1. This is the point at which I'm almost ready for a government-regulated gasoline industry. Oil companies are claiming that they're just "selling for cost", but it's absolutely absurd to think that it's true considering the price of crude oil hasn't changed significantly in the past 3 months. So why this sudden boom in prices? Sounds a lot like Bush's cronies taking full advantage of an oil-hungry upper echelon (here's lookin at you, cheney). IS there any pressure coming from the Republican sides or even our dear President? Not enough, I'd say. There's a forward I got today that said that every person receiving it should keep from pumping gas on Wednesday. I think I can do that, even if it's not enough people who got that forward. Who knows. I'm pissed and I'm being rash.
2. When a person wins 70% of the popular vote in a country of 1.1 billion, you'd think that he/she would want to go through with the promises kept to those millions, correct?
Apparently not in the case of Sonia Gandhi. Though she won in a landslide and a lopsided one at that, and it seemed that the Gandhi name would be restored to a country that needed some sense of self once again. Instead, it looks like the country is going to be going to Manmohan Singh, a person who - although I know very limited information about- I do admire because of his economic liberation package which created an 8% increase in Indian GDP in the past 3 years. Plus, stocks rose today as Gandhi's name was rescinded.
What the hell's going on in both of my countries????

Went and watched Troy tonight. Pretty.. epic. I'm not sure I would recommend it to everyone, but I think that if you want to see a more human side to The Iliad, then go check it out. My only real reservation was that I had trouble connecting with any of the characters other than Hector, played by Eric Bana. You may remember him from The Hulk, which tanked but I think is still a good movie.
ANYWAY, about this one... Brad Pitt does an apt job as Achilles, but I thought he was a bit too moody. Maybe that's how Achilles needs to be played? Dunno. Last but not least, this movie was basically a lesson in anti-war sentiment. There are no winners, just losers who perpetuate fighting all the time. It seems perfectly timed with the anti-war sentiment growing in America right now, and the fact that the US has finally pledged to pull out of Iraq echoes the sentiment right now. I digress. Check it out if you've got about 3 hours to waste and want to see an awesome fight or two, with straight up drama and Brad Pitt's nekkid body being highlighted every 45 minutes.
Wow, waaaaaay too much time reviewing a movie. I'm out.
