Does Martin talk to the director of photography?
I’ve never seen him talk to him. Martin has alienated the crew whose job it is to make him look good and help him make a funny movie. He’s really shot himself in the foot here. It’s like he doesn’t understand that he’s pissed off the camera people, who can do their best to make him look good, or, you know, not. The rumor on the set is that he has a contract that guarantees any blemish that appears on his face has to be digitally removed, or his looks have to be enhanced digitally if he doesn’t think he looks good. So maybe he doesn’t care. I mean, the camera assistant he had banished is like the most competent camera assistant on the crew. It’s like Martin Lawrence is King Ludwig. He’s a combination of Joan Crawford and kind of a second-rate Puff Daddy. It’s really embarrassing. He has a little video-viewing area that’s flagged off just for him, too. No one else is allowed to watch the takes in his little area.
