Fiji Update 2
So far two days in and now that it’s established that I am drenched in blood from a severed head, from now on I have to keep the continuity. Which means that for half the shoot they have to re-apply the sticky stuff everyday. And because it’s made out of syrup, the bugs are having a feast. The good thing is that the work isn’t too tough and it’s extremely liberating just making lines up.
The production is full of Australian and Fiji crew, so I’m going to come away with an Ozzie accent before this is over. At 4pm, the cast and crew breaks for an afternoon tea break which consists of high tea and little sandwiches–it’s adorable.
The best part is coming back to the hotel at night and just meeting all the new people who travel through. There are so many young kids who are 17 or 18 that are such adventurers on their own here. I’m like, at 17, I was watching re-runs of “Batman”. The next day off is Friday, your Thursday and I’ll be going to hang on a uninhabited island with all inclusive drinks for the day.

fake blood, high tea, inclusive drinks – cool!
Ask your Aussie crewmates to go out and have a “Shanty” together. It will endear you to them…
At least you’re not the guy who has to play the severred head everyday.

Tell the Aussies and the Fijians that Rugby sucks ass and that American Football is a real man’s sport. I found that this leads to some pretty interesting conversations…
Sounds like fun Parry. Can’t wait to see you in another movie. I made my friends see the president’s daughter… I forgot the name just cuz you were in it haha.
