Marni's World

OK, so I know that comas are about the most unfunny thing in the world, but filming the coma episode with Beren and Jason was a laugh riot. Is that terrible? Well perhaps, but seeing a coma victim wrap himself in paper towels and suspend himself in mid air is far more funny than tragic. In an effort to educate our dear users we lost it about seven times before we were finally able to get through a minute of filming without busting a gut, (that's a euphemism for laughing). My favorite part was trying to relay how Jason ended up in a coma (because he slipped on a banana peel) and even Alexis, who was working the camera, started laughing causing the camera to shake.

You see we may not be the best of actors, but we sure know how to make a coma a good time!

I ended my conversation with Mason about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by slyly dropping that I had cried during the film. What I didn't mention was that I actually cried for the entirety of the film. With a running time of almost three hours, you can imagine what I looked like by the time the credits rolled. I don't know if it was me or the message I took from the film, but it deeply affected me. It made me think about  mortality, lost opportunities, and true love. By the time the ugly old man baby was born, there were some serious water works!

Anyhow, it should be noted that I cry a lot during movies. Even films like Hancock make me cry. Yes you read that right, Hancock. So if you, like me, are a cry baby, then The Curious Case of Benjamin Button may just send you over the edge.
