My Complaints: Special Edition

So, I was asked to be in a Matt Damon movie that was shooting in the city. This was going to be the coolest thing ever...So I thought.

 First of all, I woke up at 2 in the morning and couldn't fall back to sleep. So I waited two hours before I left. I ended up getting to Candlestick like a half hour early. They staged us in this giant tent. Then it started pouring rain. You think being in a tent would keep us dry. Nope. This flood washed right through the tent like Katrina part 2. I sat at this table with these like 18 year old kids who kept calling movies they've seen films. Anyone who calls movies films are either British or douchebags and I didn't hear any accents.

So, at about nine o'clock, four hours after I got there, we finally stand up and they have us walk around the building, but the cut off just happen to be about three people in front of me in line. I was in the middle line so they had us all go back. At that time they had brought out snacks. I couldn't get any snacks because, first of all, I was in line, and when the snacks came out people had already gone to the boxes and started ripping them apart and rummaging through them like jackals or hyenas ripping apart a carcass.

So at one o'clock, another four hours after we were first allowed to get up, we lined up outside the stadium. People that were there at 5:30 obviously were allowed to be first in line. We stood there outside of the building for about half an hour. At that point, it started to rain. That's when they decided to let us inside the building. They had a sit in three separate sections of the stands. Our section being first,the middle part of the line being second, and the end of line being third. So when it was time to bring up people, do you think our section was first. Hell no our section wasn't first. The end of the line was first, and then the middle of the line, and then our section wasn't even allowed to go down. They said there were too many people. On the field, there were Blackhawk helicopters and Hummers and stuff. It would have been cool to see that stuff up close. Not yet though.

So then we waited in the stands for another two hours. At that point they said us being in the stands was bad because we were in the shot, so we had to get up and lineup outside. We were outside under an overhang for an hour. At that point the guy standing next to me started bouncing up and down. bouncing and bouncing and bouncing and bouncing. There was a girl standing in front of him I'm assuming what's his girlfriend. At that point he started sniffing his girlfriend hard quick sniffs like a pig looking for truffles. Now this is the most annoying thing I've ever seen in my life. So you're starving and you're exhausted and you see the most annoying thing you've ever seen in your life, annoyance turns into pure rage and I wanted to throw this guy over the side of the building. I didn't because I assumed me doing that would cause me not to be in the movie.

After standing outside for an hour they say oh we have to go back to the tent for lunch. Are you kidding me. I've been there for 11 hours doing nothing, getting pissed off, and how it's time for lunch? So we go back to the tents and the second we get back to the tents they get on loudspeaker and say we were done shooting for the day. After all that I don't even get in the movie. What a waste of my life.

I must be a gluten for punished because I'm joining this thing that the douchebags at my table told me about that gets them in movies all the time. I really hope it isn't like that again, but my luck it will be that way every time. So there you go. That was my movie experience. 


I don't want this blog to take away the thunder of my other blog this week, so if you haven't read my other one for this week, please go back and read it. That one was more funny. This one is definite complaint though. I also tried writing this using Dragon Voice Recognition software. You'll read all about that next week.
