Poor Alex! And news about Monday's filming...

I think Alex is on painkillers... This is his blog entry from today, and is rather incoherent. But I think I have the gist of his message in my poor translation...




Estoyecribiendo desdeunadeesasmaquinashorriblesdel aeropuerto, de esa que me metescutroeuros yte dejan escribirunossegundos.Ahoramism cojoel avion para Londres. Me he torcido el tobillo ayer,lo tengo venddo,peroetoyvivo.quemal escribe esto,dios. mañan ruedo lassecuencias desexo entreelijah y leonor...Esperoquetodo vy bien.

My very poor translation...
I am ecribiendo since one of those you plot horrible of the airport, of that that put me cutro euro and they leave you to write some seconds.now mism lame the avion for London. I have twisted me the ankle yesterday, I have it venddo, but I am alive.that badly writes this, God. tomorrow we film the sequences of sex between Elijah and Leonor. I hope everything goes well.


As I said, with the incredible run-ons in his typing today, I think poor Alex must be on painkillers because of his ankle. I had to guess at where to separate the words for the translation, and still can't get it right. Honestly, I didn't even try with some of it. But I do feel confident of the last two sentences. :-)

Oh that's cool that you got that experience. Whenever I see "behind-the-scenes" stuff on making films it never ceases to amaze me how actors ever manage to perform at all. Although it's a totally different and perhaps much scarier acting environment I imagine it's much easier for stage actors to immerse themselves in a part than it is for screen actors.

not necessarily. i totally know what you're saying but i guess it depends on the actor in particular. it may seem like it'd be easier for stage actors but that really depends on your dedication, how focused you can be, how well you can tune out other stuff. if you're a screen actor, you just have to research & be as in character as possible & not let anything else take you out of the zone, so to speak. same w/stage actors. i think w/screen actors tho, it might be easier sometimes for your focus to drift tho, for stupid reasons, like being transfixed by the Kraft services table lmao :P i def wouldn't say it's much easier for stage actors but i can understand why that would be the assumption. I've mostly only done stage shows but it can be darn hard to concentrate sometimes, for sure. esp. when things go wrong. mad mad flailing! lol

Yeah I think I know what you're saying. I've done a bit of stage work myself and you sometimes can be distracted by people shuffling about in the wings, the stage manager whispering directions into their mike or someone coughing and spluttering in the front row of the audience. Stage and film acting each are different disciplines I suppose with their own sets of challenges. I've never had a alot of lines just mainly done smaller roles but the "mad mad flailing" I can relate too, especially when the crew plant their traditional booby-traps and gags during the last dress rehearsal. :D
