I saw "28 Days Later" yesterday night with some friends. The alternate ending sucked ass, but the movie itself was pretty darn good.

In any case, I think I was really nervous and scared because my thumb is really raw this morning. One of my habits when I get scared (which isn't often) is I'll start biting off the skin around my thumb fingernail. The part that contacts directly with the space bar this morning is really raw, so it hurts to hit the spacebar.

But maybe I'll be like Terry Tate and not let my injury phase me! After all, there's a lot of scripting to be done today! Mwahahahahaha.

I've always wanted to get a "behind the scenes" peek at the making of a scary movie like The Ring or 28 Days Later. You know how in a lot of movies they have outtakes (e.g. Rush Hour, Toy Story 2, etc.) ... do they have these "prankster" outtakes in 28 Days Later? Like when an infected jumps up and goes RAWR does someone's cell phone go off? Do the crew get a good laugh out of it?

Or maybe when the woman in the Ring puts in the video into the VCR, did some mischievous cast member switch the tapes for something more scandalous (like a porno)?

These are questions which weigh in my mind deeply ... I must know the answers. Maybe the filming of 28 Days Later was one huge party, where every take was followed up with a huge joke or something. I don't know. I sure hope the atmosphere of the movie wasn't really boring and scaring. That would suck.
