Obsessive Viewing Observations - Gaffe
Nov. 8th, 2004 09:16 amscript:
We settle on a corner table where Brian and Devine sit with Curt, a black smudge against the crimson and gold interior.
Yes, most of you have noticed that the gent at the middle table is the same man who played Brian's uncle.
The gaffe is the fact that the 'script girl' (more properly - continuity person) seems to have accidentally been caught in the shot. When the camera dollies over to Jerry, Brian and Curt's table, you can see the waitress move away and then, reflected in the mirror, is a woman in a red top. She is looking down and appears to be writing. She is not dressed in the same manner as the hotel's guests and she doesn't fit logically in the scene, like at an adjoining table; she'd be sitting next to Curt if the camera continued the dolly. Needless to say, shooting around mirrors is notoriously difficult.
