Off Day

Today we did a location scout of the office, grocery store and bar. Here’s whats perfect about the insurance office. The real president of the insurance company looks like a young Barbara Bain and she’s agreed to let us use her image. She’s done all the things that I wrote in the script that ‘Catherine’ did... like visit the children’s hospital and attend groundbreaking ceremonies, etc... etc...

I also saw the dailies today and they were stunning. Not much else to say but, damn!

Lastly we had our first dance rehearsal for the dream sequence with Marcus. Its Louise’s jealous imagination sequence where she see’s Marcus with six beautiful bootifull women who all end up dancing around ‘freakin’ Marcus in a music video style dream sequence. Artichoke. That’s the name of the song that was written for this scene. “Mama said to eat my greens before I go to bed. It’s my artichoke, my artichoke, my artichoke.” Soon to be available on the soundtrack at a Virgin records near you. ;)

A few gems a la David Hardie/Marcus – (and just picture the six hot and sexy dancers all around him pawing at his chest at the time)
“I’m, uh, trying to keep with the beat here.”
“My dad is going to worship me.”
“Come on, let’s get a tear away shirt for this!”
“I’m suffering for my art.”
“Artichoke is now my favorite vegetable.”
“Oh, if Pavlov’s dog only had a bell. Mine would be artichoke. “

Favorite Kingsley/Choreographer bits were:
“You’re interested in him, you’re interested in her, you’re interested in everything that moves.”
“Can we have four counts of pawing?”
To Marcus, “I like your interest but I need to see more of the urge to participate.”

I've got a few photos but will upload them tomorrow when my camera battery is all charged up again.

I'm off to bed.
