A fascinating post by Adam Davis on life as a less-worth-than-amoeba beginner in Tinseltown. Heartbreakingly funny and unbelievably honest. Here he is talking about one of the first films he gets to work on:

It was called The Legend of My Heart-Shaped Anus, a quirky comedy being submitted to Sundance. . . In one scene, I got to drop heart-shaped poo, made out of chocolate, onto two puppets fighting.

If you are serious about giving it up and moving to LA then a) watch as much Entourage as you can (it will take probably at least several years to get to the level of the guy who parks Lloyd‘s car) and b) read Adam’s post.

You too could drop poo.
