The steeple video is from our man in France, Remy. He was commenting on the spit take that he would love to taste such a wine together some day (of course in the spit take it’s actually flat diet coke… half of the reason I chose black and white). It got me thinking about the scene. I came up with the spit take over the boozy hollidays when we opened a nice bottle of Burgundy. As I was airating it (sucking air through it, not smelling) I actually inhaled some… the better half laughed with disdainful glee.
“Pretentious moron,” quoth she, or some such.
So I tried to recreate that moment, but all the spit takes were off camera into a bucket and sounded fake as I wasn’t perpared to actually inhale “wine”. However, as a true method actor, or moron, I ended up snorting the “wine” on the last take. In other words, the spit take is real, but not how I’d planned it.
I was thinking how I would stage this spit tiake with actors if I ever actually get to make some of theses OMegg scenes with actors in Europe. I was thinking she would be coming back from the Lu and he would be putting on the show more for M. Tristan. However, the odd conversation about Asians might have thrown him a little… She might appear just in time for the spit take… maximum humiliation…. first him looking like a dork trying the wine, and then the spit take… this would be capped by M. Tristan sending the bottle back because it’s corked… Tristan just smelling it once and a small taste and Pat with all his sucking and smelling, didn’t know what he was smelling for. Corked Margaux still tasting better than most things he’s ever drunk.
