In an interview with actors on the set of Submerged Submarines
Are Not for Drunken Sailors,
we were shockingly
fascinated by the little things happening behind the scenes on the big set.
We spoke with Karen Thorngate playing Natasha,
the leading role as
love interest of Lance Weakley played by Bruce Nadaville.
Karen complained of the gaping holes behind the main stage where
her stilettos were getting caught so deeply that she almost broke her diamond necklace and
peculiar stains on evening gowns that could only be explained by dirt behind
the set, and not the muddy kind!
She went on to say how she avoided Bruce between takes due
to his over-sized ego, bad breath, and countless ummmms, but not necessarily in
that order. Karen threw in a hair fling and laugh while saying, all he talked
about was what true stage presence should be and his heroic journey to the top! It was all dreadful, she grumbled; checking
her lipstick and hair as she shook her head in disgust.
The cops and firemen had been called several times before
filming due to a pyro porcupine according to Jim the prop man. (Evidently the porcupine was on to
something.) Shockingly in the investigation
it was confirmed that Jim was Karen’s secret love interest in real life. It was a hot and steamy affair; hotter and
more dangerous than the sushi Stella from the makeup crew left under the vanity
lights.
It seems that there were a lot more things stinking than the
reviews the movie got from Rotten Tomatoes.
Next week we will be talking with Jack Schmitt the Third,
the star of A Fool and His Basket Balls.
He will be featuring his special costumes for the stunts he does himself
juggling balls of fire with his eyes closed while reciting Haikus.
Here is one now:
Look to the sky now
the balls fly like blackbirds do
but balls always fall.
