Will's diary

Wednesday May 15, 2002

9:30 a.m.
I arrive to a giddy Sonja. She informs me that her nudie scene was a dashing success. She felt rather liberated, really. Apparently, Clint was very supportive of her efforts. Very helpful, she says. I'm sure he was.

11:00 a.m.
The puke-down-the-cleavage-of-the-hot-girl scene. My character can't swim, and neither can he handle being on a boat, apparently. Without divulging too much of the gag, let's just say that Sonja gets a chest full of my bile.

The vomit is a mixture of fruit salad (for chunks, you see) and this weird green algae nutrition drink. It's littered with little white orbs that remind me of pimpleheads. Not very appealing. (Side note: Uwe has been drinking this stuff all day)

I feel the need to truly invest in the feeling of nausea, so right before we roll I stick my middle and index fingers down my throat, a technique made popular by binging supermodels the world over. This makes my face turn red and my eyes water. I think of how impressed people will be by my method-style of getting prepared, "Wow! He really looks sick" The Academy will look at this scene, at this inspiring performance, and wonder where I've been all their lives. Yes! YES!!! "I'd like to thank the Maltman and Uwe Boll and Shawn Willia..."

...oh yeah. I'm horking down cleavage.

Accurate puking is not my forte. On the first take, I miss Miss Salomma's bust and fire it onto her neck and face. Oops. I apologize.

6:30 p.m.
We have to re-shoot a scene from yesterday morning where Tyrone's character ("Simon") and mine are introduced. In it, we fire rocks at a beer bottle to keep us occupied. Baseball is my passion, so anytime I get the chance to throw anything is a huge bonus. I feel rather good today, well rested, my arm feels strong. Bryan Knight, the first A.D., tells us to huck the stones over the area where the camera is placed, just to be safe. But Bryan, I used to be a big-time ball player, I want to try to hit the bottle. But Will, the camera's right behind the bottle, you might hit the lens. Ha! No way, Brian, I could've been drafted, maybe even first round had I played past fifth grade, I won't miss.

First throw...in the air...it's gonna hit the bottle...see, I told yo...DINK! Oh shit. Sorry.
