So You Want To Make Movies?

I think this should start to be a segment of god awful bullshit people in the film industry try to play:
Here's a story about a day player grip.

I don't even fucking know this asshole's name. Only that he came on for a week. Was a shave headed retard grip. A grip, in movie terms, is basically just a construction worker. There's no greater aspiration for a grip then to build something or move something heavy. Maybe stack a c-stand or three. But for the most part lean on something and get out of actors' eyelines. Very few care about movies. They certainly don't care about corporate jobs, considering almost all have sleeves of tattoos. And sport facial hair that rivals a bike gang member. They mostly stand around ogling the actresses. But bend their importance, since everyone knows the have the a) best drugs b) cooler of beer.

This one particular grip was only there for, I'd say two days MAYBE three. When the production wrapped (for this movie I was shooting) it was a year later, before it was released. Upon release this...fucking retard grip sued...yes SUED the producer of this project as he claims he wasn't given overtime. The way I heard it from the producer, he dug up all the pay vouchers AND his in-time and out-time matched with what he'd been paid. This fucking stupid fuck thought the production was so disorganized he could pull that shit. This idiot got a scheister piece of garbage entertainment lawyer to sue on his behalf. The producer shoved this paperwork in that dirty lawyer's face (as they were attempting to negotiate a settlement). "Settle this!" was what I would've said as I smashed copies of his deal memo in his mouth. This producer was much kinder. He didn't know who this guy was either. He had to dig into his file to find why this claim would pop up.

Yes, people are like that. You HAVE to be so cautious as to who you bring onto your movie.
