Industry on parade

It is a long way around the barn so here goes. As stated before I have too much time on my hands as evident by reading the credits at the end of movies, thanks Direct TV for free HBO weekends.;)

Best boys, gaffers and assistant to the assistant, the list goes on and on. It takes a lot of people to make a movie. I suppose that is why movies have such a big budget.

Given that there are a lot of liberals on the left coast I am surprised that the current administration hasn't offered some type of financial assistance program like is used in agriculture.:rolleyes:

Anything to help the economy.

I wish I could remember who it was but I heard one of the talk personalities bring up how movie profits are down and wonder the same thing.

A movie was made in my hometown about a local, Tom Butterfield. The band I was in at the time was "hired" for a county fair scene on the square. Unfortunatly I refused to shave my beard so I played bass under the flatbed truck.It seems like I was paid $110.:cool:

My only other movie experience was with a film called Tom Sawyer. I wasn't actually in the movie but I did fall into the grave dug for the cemetary scene. Hey, it was late at night and I was somewhat inebriated.:D
