According to Cinematical, when director Mike Figgis recently arrived at LAX and was asked the ritual question, “What is the purpose of your visit,” he replied, “I’m here to shoot a pilot.”
Upon which he was detained for five hours.
*Sigh*

Awesome. On a side note, the single piece of camera equipment I have, besides a boom, microphone and camera, is the Fig Rig… named after Figgis. Gives me a whole new story to tell when people ask what the “steering wheel thingie” is that I use to handle the camera.
Milk just came out my nose…
Oh geez… 5 hours of being a detainee = a great story to tell later, though…
Gawwwwd. In the midst of all this Lindsey Lohan / Paris Hilton / whatevertheheck the other ones’ names are crap, a slapstick, goofy joke about the most ubiquitous thing in LA – shooting pilots. Shoot ’em all. Get the lawyers while you’re at it. Trust me, they’ll come in handy.
Going to bed with a smile on my face now… thanks!
