So I'm getting a ride home from work with my boss just 20 minutes ago. We work for the Worker's Compensation Board in Vancouver, and it's about a 15 minute drive to our houses. I'm friends with her son, who does acting and is in New York right now auditioning. We were talking about the extras agency that we're both a part of, and what kind of work he's getting in the industry.
She informs me that he got continuity work (continuity = basically getting to work 5 days a week for weeks, if not months, which = $$$) in North Vancouver. She said he'll be sitting in a (fake) plane all day, and earning a lot doing it. I started joking about all the shitty times he's gone through when it comes to plane trips (a few years ago his plane hit an air pocket or something, dropping the thing hundreds of feet in seconds, which resulted in him hitting his back neck on the fucking ceiling since he didn't have his seatbelt on).
I joked about how he'd be a great method actor for shitty plane rides. So I asked her if the plane's crashing in the scenes he's in, or if it's just a normal plane ride. She said it wasn't a crash scene, but the majority of the movie takes place in the plane. So I asked her what the movie was about.
"Something about snakes on a plane."
