After fighting through the crowds (for "Surrogates," "Cloudy with a
Chance of Meatballs" and "Jennifer's Body"), the dozen or so of us
who sat through "The Invention of Lying" enjoyed it enormously, and
will be back to see it several times.
Just to prep you, Mark (Ricky the G's character) loses his job and
doesn't have enough money for the rent, so goes to the bank to get
the little money he does have. When he walks into the bank, the
camera is where the tellers are, and we watch him pretty close-up as
he walks tenuously toward the tellers, I appear for at least a third
of a second (that's 24 tripled frames - 8 frames, each flashed on the
screen three times) over his left shoulder (that's up and to the
right of the screen), my white lack of hair and dark suit nearly
visible, tho hardly in focus. Given how much I was paid to be there
for 10 hours, and dividing that by 1/3 second, my hourly rate for
screen time is astronomical --- nearly, I'm sure, up to Jennifer
Garner's rate. All I need to do now is get more screen time, and I
can retire a rich feller.
Thanks to all who've feigned interest in, listened to or read through
my experiences in Bossywood.
