I always lose track of what day it is when we do all night shoots
& then I don't ever really go to bed.
& I get a bit delirious.
but...
but...
Thursday night.
"worked" for twelve hours.
probably only actually worked (standing in) for maybe 2-3 minutes.
oh this business.
then I basically hung around chatting.
it's amazing how much can be shared over diet cokes/cigarettes on set.
pretty much everyone smokes on set.
pretty much.
not, every. one.
(just to save offense)
but
I've heard it commented on before.
I've definitely noticed it before.
& I have a theory.
it's the water cooler.
craft services is ok.
but if you want that REAL water cooler experience:
the gossip. the hopes. the dreams.
the past work. the future work.
the bragging. the sucking up.
the flirting. the name dropping.
cigarettes.
bring your own pack
but remember,
"Can I bum one?"
that question opens doors to the future kiddies.
doors to the golden palace.
or to a bedroom.
which could also open doors.
just not always the kind worth seeking.
whatever floats your boat.

to smoke or not to smoke?
climb by cig? by bed?
or by merit?
what would you do?
what would you do?
Not to smoke. It does nothing but harm the body, and you dont have to be a smoker to start a conversation with someone. Be true to yourself, and if you are a non smoker, dont do it just because "everyone does it", the effects are much worse than making other people happy.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you.
ReplyDeletejust to clarify - I wasn't necessarily asking for advice for myself, but just for opinions, views, thoughts, etc.
but thanks so much for responding!
