I was watching the end credits for a movie today and it dawned on me that everyone involved in the movie is given credit. The caterers, the assistants, the madams. Everyone. The film industry is the most self adoring, self congratulatory industry in the world. People make fun of them because they give themselves so many awards (Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, Blockbusters) for merely doing their jobs. I think it's funnier that the production company's delivery drivers get credit. Can you imagine if every industry was so interested in giving everyone involved in every detail of a job credit?
"Hey, Bill... thanks for installing my tires"
"No problem, George. By the way, the coffee in the waiting room was provided by Folgers, our fleet vehicles are all Fords, The uniform I'm wearing today was purchased from Acme Uniforms... all hemming was performed by my wife, Suzie..."
Anyways, just something that crossed my mind. Three days until April 19, my 31st birthday.
GOOCH:old
