After the intro scene, we had a lunch break with a vegan, non-dairy, Kosher, pasta primavera, salad and garlic bread. It was delicious, and I forced myself not to eat too much, even though John and Greg exhorted everyone to eat as much as possible.
A quick word about John Renna—he’s a blast. He brings positive energy and good humor to the set. He’s passionate about the project. He’s going to play the Mayor in the movie, complete with a coat of flesh, and I can’t wait to see what he does with it. And here he is, working on the special effects and making sure we all have coffee and pasta as well. Greg has assembled a phenomenal team!
Now the big scene—where I tell my family that I’m dying of cancer. Bit of a logic problem here—Zachary is the master of flesh control, but he can’t kick the big C? Still, let’s just chalk it up to needing more time to control flesh on a cellular level, accept that he has terminal cancer, and move on, okay?
I really wanted to work up some tears for this scene, but was unable to. Sorry, Greg. Still, I resolved not to force it, and just played the action. It was a touching little scene. It was the first chance I had to work with Sandra, the girl playing Lizzie, my daughter. She was great—responsive and emotional and a blast to work with. There’s one moment where she asks if she can join the rest of the cult on their final adventure, and I say “no.” She starts crying in the middle of my sentence, and I get to talk through her tears. It plays so nicely. It felt good anyway, we’ll see how it looks. Greg is a little stunned that these bad guys of his are coming across so sympathetically, but I figure—if the cult all died for him, they must have loved him, and they must have loved him for a reason.
That’s it. A couple of shots of Sandra mixing up the elixir, and we’re done. We finished at 6:30, an hour and a half early. Not bad for the first day. After the shoot, Wil, Sephera and myself (the Greg tenants) decided to go out for dinner. We asked Greg where we should go for pizza and beer. He had NO IDEA. He finally offered up the Anchor Bar, where Buffalo wings were supposedly invented. The three of us (Greg stayed home with the fam) followed Greg’s directions and went to Anchor Bar. On our way there, we passed about half a dozen pubs and bars that would have been perfect for what we had in mind. The ride out took us about forty minutes. Finally, we got there, and it was a busy little tourist trap. Line at the door, clearly set up to fleece out of towners. It was ridiculous. Starving and delirious with hunger, Sephera suddenly remembered that the last time she was in town, John had taken her to an Irish pub. We called him, got directions, and went there. It was great! Just the kind of place we had in mind. Good grub, cheap beer and drinks. It was just five minutes down from Greg’s house.
My friends, if you’re reading this—buy a copy of Slime City, and see Slime City Massacre when it comes out—because Greg Lamberson needs to get out more.
