I don't mean to be a killjoy or anything, but is this a game? Methinks this thread would be better suited for the PPP board. That being said, R&R musician has got to rate waaay up there, for sure. I did it on a small scale and loved every minute of it. (Well .........not every minute, but the good far outweighed the bad.)

I could handle being JBJ too. Except, in time, my voice wouldn't be high enough... aw well, I would still kick posterior at Always.

All kidding aside, working on films would be the ultimate cool. Or being the manager of a Super Bowl winning team.

Action films, comedies, sci-fi or horror. (Definitely not period pieces, Westerns or romance, unless there's a foxy chick in it.)

I thought it was more of plan with impromptu dialogue. Like, the director will give the overview of how he/she wants the whole thing done and roughly how long the whole shebang should last. A shoot takes hours only to get a maximum of 10 minutes of footage from various angles (then the editing kicks in to make it look like it's a long scene when it actually is 5 minutes - tops). The funny thing is that just when the guy is ready the director yells "cut" and then the actors are placed somewhere else and the cameras are moved to other parts of the room and then it's back to getting the guy started :) :D ;D It's kind of like a chainsaw! You have to crank crank crank and then it's going and then you suddenly turn it off to work on some other part and then you have to crank crank crank again to get it going 8) I swear, 5000 guys say they can do it, but only 5 can actually pull it off ::) It pays significantly less too, but I suppose the fringe benefits make up for that 8)

How about being the one guy from NFL films to get in the winning Super Bowl team's locker room. And while I'm dreaming......that team would be the PITTSBURGH STEELERS
