Cute attempts to be helpful & Marathon Man

Needing some coverage for a desert shot I asked Ben for an idea. He said, "maybe you could put a shot of a lizard there, you know, the way they do pushups in the sun." Good idea for a shot. Very helpful—NOT. This morning, I was wondering how best to show computer monitors reflecting letters on someone's face so I looked it up in my digital cookbook production text. It said to use a video projector. Another helpful idea—NOT. BTW, it doesn't work to use a regular video light and just shine it through a transparency.

I was trying to watch Marathon Man. You know, "my dear boy, why don't you just act it" and all that. I got 55 minutes into it and still nothing has happened. I have no idea what this movie is about. Back to Netflix you go.
