"Werner Herzog Reads 'Where's Waldo?'"

Up shooting until 3am, braindead. So, offered without comment:



Chris Downey actually loves Grizzly Man so much, he got a transcript of it. Which he reads at lunch in the writers room.

"You Actually Call It the Whedonverse. Huh."

A buck-ten to whoever can ID that quote, brought to mind because, in this pic, I am actually doing the whole douche-y "This is the shot ..." thing with my hands. That's DP Dave Connell to my right, my 1st AD Matt to my left, and Line Producer Paul Bernard walking away, looking for something sharp to stick in his eye. Because the words coming out of my mouth at that moment are, no lie: "To the left is the burning tank."

LEVERAGE #405 prep QOTD

SETTING: ART DEPARTMENT & PROPS MEETING

PROPS: So it's like a children's collage.
JOHN: Exactly. Why don't we have some actual local children do it, tell them the best one will be on the show?
PROPS: That's technically child labor.JOHN: America was built on child labor.
LINE PRODUCER: How about having some hospice kids do it?
JOHN: Sure, they have more spare time. And tell them it'll live on in the show. It'll give them hope, before they go off to live in Santa & Puppies Forever Land, or whatever story we tell sick kids about Heaven.
(Silence. Then crying.)
JOHN: Oh, first time you worked with me. Right. Sorry.

And this is WITHOUT the ubiquitous Mark Sheppard.
