Hollywood To Do list

Only in Hollywood -- this person got mostly everything done. From the list I think it is an AD



Here is a translation

1 -- make up the mailed out sheet that has a list of everyone who will work the next day and their contact information
2-- talk to Make Up about getting the female actresses in early
3-- call the Production Assistants
4-- call Background (extras)
5-- apparently got the extras settled with Kate
6-- double check with Make Up and Hair

Beats a shopping list for the grocery store any day

B12

Ok, so a star feels punk.  Too much to drink maybe. A few too many drugs.  Too many cigaretttes.

So this star looks at the vial of injectible B-12 in his cabinet and thinks --  a shot of that will make me feel better.  Last time it worked like a champ.  

The star rummages around in his trailer.

New disposable needle & syringe.  Check.

Withdraw correct amount into syringe.  Check.

Aim syringe at buttock cheek.  Small needles do not hurt much when used.

But if you hit something in your butt. Say a bone. Or a nerve. 

Suddenly your butt is sore and the entire crew is sitting waiting. 10 hours and counting to shoot 5 1/2 pages, a snail's pace compared to the 17 shot yesterday in the same amount of time. By actors who go to a doctor if they want a B-12 shot.

Glamorous place, Hollywood.

Get them by the balls...

And their hearts and minds are sure to follow.  Lyndon B. Johnson said it, I think maybe he was not the first.

How does it apply to Hollywood?

On the set there is a lot of  flirting. Not only between actors, but also the crew members.  Dating happens, romance happens.

We spend much more time at work than with our spouses.  That can lead to friction, and high rates of divorce.


There is a lot of stress, trying to keep relationships together when you are apart so much.

Team that up with sexual tension...


... and the fact almost everyone dresses up a bit at work....


...and tempers can explode.

One of my fellow crew members said that "for men, there are only two things on their mind -- food and sex."

I do not think so.  There is a creative spark in all of us.  For some of us, it trumps sex (well mostly.)

Food it is hard to do without, though. That is what catering is for.
