While those of us average folks blend in to the crowd outside of

movies > and tv.
Which leads to the question of what happens when
they need a crowd scene in a movie or TV show. Do
they cast for the average joe and josephine or for
people who can play the part of average joe or
josephine?

Used to, they'd put out a call for extras who fit the general
description. Today, don't know if they still do that or rely more on

I wonder then if the crowds were made up of typical
Angelines of the time or whether any care was taken
to get people who looked like they'd fit into the
setting of the story.

I hadn't thought of that. How gross and impersonal.

paying extras. Our daughter Deborah had a bit part in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow"..........they were filming out in west TX/NM when her
unit was training up for deployment at Fort Bliss. Film company needed a
shot of soldiers marching so they put in a call at the post & she was
one of the ones who responded. It's a "blink and you'll miss her" shot
but she's in the movie.

I've known people who have had that kind of
exposure. A few seconds of celebrity don't
do most people any harm, I suppose, any more
than one exposure to parathion or something.

We need to counteract the mindset that creates
the conspicuous consumption - and the waste that
goes wth it.

Easier said than done.

But at some point it will have to be done. We may not
regret our actions, but the next generations will.

Or the generation beyond that.

The future in general. What we said about stewardship.

It's still unclear what's going on there, but it
probably isn't scurvy.

OK, getting enough Vitamin C then. My ortho doctor is very much into

So far, so good. (G)

Good for you.

Another case of an old remedy coming back into modern use.

Some of them work for reasons that are obscure. Honey
of course is fluid but contains very little water,
which probably has something to do with it.

If you didn't tolerate coriander seed, corned
beef and pastrami would be denied you.

And other goodies.

For me those would be the most important deficits.

I'd tend to agree there.

Probably not, I don't eat a lot of sardines.

That was a sort of joke recipe but not a wwtt one,
because it's quite clear what they were thinking.

Have to get him to a picnic or back here to retell the story.

I wouldn't go there. If he volunteers, which is
unlikely, okay.

OK, have to hold the thought.

I'd recommending forgetting about it altogether.

A lot of meats are, actually.

Or raw, which for me is often best.

I'd rather have it cooked, but not over cooked.

Even the tough cuts are tender when raw. And to me
they taste better as well.

I prefer mine cooked, but not to shoe leather status.

Those things do better with moist cooking anyway.

Hi Michael,

setting of the story.

They probably put out specifics if needed, otherwise, any warm body will
do.

But cost saving for the studios.

Something, but not sure what all else but it is working.

For me those would be the most important deficits.
