and yet, I can't help but notice how many FREAKIN' ACTORS he uses in his documentaries!!! Don't get me wrong, his many reenactments are beautiful works of art, but damn... that's a lot of ACTORS to be putting in your DOCUMENTARY! As we all know, I can't stand actors. They were the most annoying of my classmates at the performing arts high school--them and the dancers, who were all dumb.
I went with the Chief and the Major yesterday to view some footage that a local mega-church film crew has shot of us Reserves while working some special assignments. They even got footage of me putting my beloved shotgun "Vasquez" in the back of a Tahoe. (The Chief: "There's Adela with the heavy artillery!") I'm happy to say I've been told that I can use whatever of this footage I want for MY film and I will take them up on that offer since they are only using this stuff for a little video they're making for our upcoming Reserves appreciation dinner this fall. That means the public will not see the footage, therefore I can use it! And some of it is very nice, too. I am really grateful.
So far I am stalled on my latest footage however. My brother is having a hard time transferring the tapes to my hard drive due to reformatting issues and it is driving me batshit. I cannot work on this new footage until that is done and then Auntie R.'s husband, Uncle T., can transfer the file to DVD so I can start my work. I want to scream. Serenity now.
Lots of other cool things have happened lately: Auntie R.'s great housewarming party last weekend; Tito J. coming to town and meeting us down on the beach on Sunday; getting along with S for the most part these days; upcoming Krav Maga classes put on FREE by the deadly Sgt. Schmidt! All I have to do is get my ass up to the academy--quite a damn drive, yes, but the classes are FREE! The first one is this Saturday and S is gonna try to go with me. Fun!
