STS Ch-19
“Here’s to a successful first day of shooting!” Randal Kleiser raised a toast as we all gathered around the bonfire, our faces flickering in the warm glow of the flames. “Cheers!” I echoed the sentiment along with the rest of the cast and crew, lifting my glass of champagne high before taking a generous sip. The bubbles tickled my throat, and the sense of celebration was contagious. Beside me, Julie raised a coconut water instead, holding it a bit hesitantly. “You're overthinking…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

It was always thrilling to watch how the different elements of filmmaking came together, each one resonating with the other to create a perfect scene. The set decorators, costume and makeup teams, lighting technicians, sound designers, and cinematographers, all of them played a vital role. When those efforts are combined with a strong story, sharp direction, and solid performances, the result could either make or break a film. The job of a director was truly demanding. Before stepping into the film…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“Okay, where do you want to go?” I asked, my hands resting on the wheels of the Porsche 928 as I drove at a relatively slow speed for practical reasons. “I don’t know, Josh. I haven’t given it a lot of thought,” Daryl said from the passenger seat before turning around at the sound of a honk. “Oh, shit! Here he comes,” she whispered exasperatedly. “Here who comes?” asked Ron from behind me, turning to look out the back window. “My manager,” Daryl replied casually, as if…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

As I walked out of the audition room, I noticed that everyone else had left, leaving just the sexy redhead receptionist behind, the same one who was currently avoiding looking at me. “Hey, Paige!” I greeted her, stopping in front of her desk. When she didn’t even look up, I added, “Still mad at me, huh? Well, I just wanted to tell you that I lost the role, so that I won’t be coming here anymore.” That did the trick of shocking her enough that she forgot she was mad at me. “What do…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“If markets are supposed to aggregate information, then a lot of what we call market failure looks more like an information failure. The price is wrong because the knowledge behind it is incomplete.” I finished answering the question my economics professor had posed to the class, one that no one else had managed to satisfy him with. I wasn’t entirely sure this was the response he’d been fishing for, but I knew one thing for certain. Everything I’d said was factually correct. “Perfect!”…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

I woke up after what felt like a very long, deep sleep. Yesterday’s run-in with a future superstar had left me reeling. Would he even become a superstar now that I had taken for myself? Even though I was exhausted, my brain was working overtime, thinking about Tom Cruise and the implications of taking one of his iconic roles. Should I feel some sort of guilt for taking the role away from him? I didn’t. Every film I’d done until now, whether it was or , had originally gone to someone else. By…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

Daryl looked up at me with innocent eyes, her naked form sprawled under me. All her shyness had left her since it was just the two of us. Her hands roamed all over my skin, feeling the contours gained through years of hard work. “How are you so…” She trailed off, not knowing how to finish the sentence. “So?” I prodded gently. “Well built. I’ve seen men before, but you’re on another level entirely. It’s like…you’re not even human.” I laughed at that, then hugged her body…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

After what felt like months, but was only days, I was finally back in the place I truly called home, free of any major worries pressing down on me. Not the one owned by my father, but the one where I’ve always felt I belonged: water. Thanks to Jordan, most of my financial worries had been washed away. I wasn’t suddenly rich, but not having to worry about rent and utilities went a long way in helping me breathe a little easier. And what better way for a son of Poseidon to unwind than to dive in…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

The moment I saw her, I knew who she was. She was a future Oscar winner and one of the greatest British actresses of her generation. Not to mention a brilliant writer and a very funny comedienne. Emma Thompson. “I’m so sorry for being late,” she apologized. “I mixed up the timing for this audition with another one.” “Unfortunately for you, we’re done here for today,” John said sternly. “You can come back tomorrow...” “John,” I interrupted before he could finish,…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“Congratulations on the success of , Noah.” “Thank you, David,” I said, nodding gratefully at him. It felt strange to be meeting David Letterman during his first year hosting a talk show on NBC. The 1980s were a very different time for talk shows compared to what I remembered from the 2020s. The ruler of the industry was undoubtedly Johnny Carson, whom I badly wanted to interview with. Unfortunately, Carson wasn’t interested. I wasn’t big enough for his time. Something similar happened…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
