Tangentially move-related, Laurence Fishburne was on the Star Talk podcast. He and Neil DeGrasse Tyson have fun.

Yep. I was the location rep for the house where the guy gets killed by the glass table. So I technically wasn't working for the production, I was representing the interests of the owner of that house lol.
My best friend and writing partner's mom had (still has) the largest location library in L.A. And I worked a lot for her on various movies and TV shows. It was awesome. I got yelled at by Oliver Stone on the set of The Doors because I wouldn't let him ruin the tile of a house I was repping.
David Lynch was always understanding of what he could and could not do in the house...and would always yell my name, "DOMINIC...can we do this?" And I'd give him a yay or nay.
We happened to be at the craft services table at the same time once, and we had a 5 minute discussion on why Red Vines were better than Twizzlers. He really thought the texture of Red Vines was far superior, and the sugar rush much better. I said I could finish a whole package of Red Vines, easy, no problem, and he grasped my shoulders and said, "We understand one another, Dominic."
I seriously doubt I understand David Lynch, but that was pretty cool.
Oh, and years later, he remembered me when my GF and I went to Lynch Fest in L.A. a couple of years ago, and we had bought the package that allowed us into a cocktail party with Lynch. He seemed quite excited when he realized I worked briefly on Lost Highway. He wanted to know if I was still in the location repping biz, and I said, no, but he insisted on telling my GF how important that was on any movie set. "If you don't treat the house with respect, than no other production will be able to use that house ever again, and that would be a shame."
That was funny.

I remember thinking it was funny and not getting some (a lot, I'm sure) of it. When I saw it as an adult I was shocked. Holy Cow! What were my parents thinking? Still love the movie
