[net.movies] key grip/best boy anecdote

evan@petfe.UUCP (Evan Marcus) (04/19/85)

A friend of mine at UPenn went to a lecture and preview of a movie by Robert
Altman (the famous producer).  He previewed some movie, and then fielded
questions afterwards.  There must have been (he says) 10 or 15 artsy movie
questions (you know...cinematography type questions and the like).  Everybody
seemed kinda bored.  Then, my friend gets up and asks Altman what a key grip
is.  Everybody broke up!  

The funniest part is that Altman said he didn't know!

Just thought this might be worth passing on.

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who divide people into two
kinds, and those who don't.
